Broward County: Health officials to teach body-piercing safet
Hoping to prevent illness or injuries from unsafe body-piercing practices, the county Health Department will teach a class on proper methods.
Environmental health specialists and public health nurses will cover safety, sanitation and sterilization requirements, as well as record keeping, precautions for preventing transmission of infectious diseases, and after-care instructions for clients. A formal safe-practices class is required of piercing operators before a body-piercing salon can be licensed.
