Who is individually liable for the sanitary conditions of their own station and equipment?

The individual responsible for the sanitary conditions of their own station and equipment is typically any student or licensed practitioner. This means that regardless of the broader organizational policies or the presence of supervisory roles, each person who uses a station or equipment is accountable for maintaining cleanliness and adhering to sanitation standards.

This accountability is crucial in ensuring that all areas where services are provided remain hygienic, thereby preventing the spread of infections and providing a safe environment for clients. Each student and licensed practitioner must be aware of and comply with health regulations, as their actions directly impact the sanitary conditions of their work area.

While the establishment license holder and instructors play important roles in training and overarching policy enforcement, the day-to-day maintenance of sanitation relies on the individuals using the facilities. The office manager, while potentially involved in overseeing operations, is not directly responsible for the cleaning and sanitation of specific stations used by practitioners and students. Each person must therefore take personal responsibility for their immediate work environment.
