Compliance Thresholds

|---|---|---|
| 95%+ | COMPLIANT / EXCELLENCE | Green |
| 80-94% | CONDITIONALLY COMPLIANT | Yellow |
| < 80% | CRITICAL FAILURE | Red |
Weight Distribution
The scoring algorithm uses weighted values where critical biosecurity items carry significantly more weight:
| Category | Example Item | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| Biosecurity (Critical) | Validated Autoclave Cycle | 15 |
| Legal (Major) | Signed Consent Forms | 10 |
| Facility (Standard) | Adequate Lighting | 2 |
Technical Details
The weighted compliance scoring formula:
totalPossible = Σ(itemWeights)
userTotal = Σ(checkedItemWeights)
complianceScore = (userTotal / totalPossible) × 100
Important: This tool is designed for self-assessment and internal use. Always consult with local health authorities and legal professionals for official compliance verification.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an 'Infection Control Plan'?
A written document detailing every safety protocol in your studio, from hand-washing to biohazard disposal.
Do I need a separate sink for my breakroom?
Yes. Hand-washing sinks in procedure areas must be dedicated to clinical use.
How do I dispose of 'Sharps' safely?
Use an OSHA-approved, puncture-resistant biohazard container and a certified waste management firm.
Is 'Alcohol' a sufficient disinfectant?
Alcohol is an antiseptic for skin, but it is NOT an EPA-registered disinfectant for hard surfaces.
Do my artists need 'BBP' certification?
Yes. Bloodborne Pathogen training is a mandatory standard for anyone performing dermal procedures.
