It is estimated that the majority of all insurance claims are preventable. While some are the result of natural disasters or theft, many are due to negligence or a lack of basic safety training and education.

For example, taking just a few minutes each day to perform simple preventative maintenance on your tanning equipment, as well as following a thorough checklist of opening and closing instructions, may be all it takes to help prevent the development of a potentially hazardous situation.

Also, we can get so caught up with day-to-day responsibilities and the routine of running the business and managing personnel, that we may take the critical period of actual customer interaction for granted.

The time that you and your staff spend verifying each guest’s tanning history, selecting the unit they will use and the exposure time, confirming the use of protective eyewear, reviewing the list of photosensitive medications, etc., plays a vital role in limiting the risk of overexposure and helping to ensure a positive salon experience.

And the tanning industry, like so many other service related businesses, is subject to high employee turnover. Whiling draining your time and financial resources, this also makes classroom style training impractical.

Understanding such challenges and wanting to help steer your business in the right direction, Universal Insurance has been working with various industry experts to develop Tanning IQ, It’s a fun, fast-paced, online program that will test your industry knowledge while also helping you and your staff create and maintain a safer working environment.

Tanning IQ combines the excitement of a “Jeopardy-like” game show (complete with cash prizes) together with a personally engaging, interactive, industry-focused educational tutorial.

Tanning IQ is being rolled out nationwide beginning January 2018. The program will feature at least four different segments that focus on risk-management, including:
[gap height=”15″]
- • Preventing Overexposure
- Invasion of Privacy
- Preventing Water Damage
- Preventing Equipment Related Injuries
[gap height=”15″]
Each segment begins with an entertaining 3-4 minute video. After watching the video, you are then directed to the contest phase of Tanning IQ, where you are asked a series of questions related to the subject matter.
[gap height=”15″]
The contest section is timed and your score is automatically calculated – so you know immediately how well you’ve done and how you rank against participating salons from across the country. (Don’t worry, you can select a user-friendly “nickname” to protect your privacy.)

The contestant who achieves the highest score in the fastest time has a chance to win a $100 Amazon Gift Card.
[gap height=”15″]
The entire program (video and games) only takes about eight minutes. It will help provide your entire team with interesting, insightful and valuable information that can help you create a safer salon environment for you, your staff and your guests.
[gap height=”15″]
Tanning IQ provides an ideal “refresher course” for existing salon owners and staff, while providing new-hires with a highly effective indoctrination to the business and the tanning industry.
[gap height=”15″]
Tanning IQ is available online, providing access to the programs 24/7/365. You and your staff can take the challenge as often as you like.
