What type of lighting is required at all workstations in a licensed salon?

The requirement for "adequate" lighting at all workstations in a licensed salon is essential for ensuring both safety and efficiency. Adequate lighting means that the illumination is sufficient to perform tasks effectively while allowing practitioners to see details clearly when applying products or conducting treatments. This level of light helps reduce the risk of accidents, such as misapplying products or not spotting sanitation issues.

In a salon setting, different tasks may require different lighting intensities; however, the overarching standard is that the lighting must be suitable to meet the needs of the work being performed. "Sufficient" lighting suggests an ambiguity that may not fully ensure the visibility needed for precision work. "Bright" lighting may imply an intensity that could cause discomfort or glare, making it less suitable for all environments. "Ambient" lighting typically refers to soft, general lighting that may not provide the specific focus required for intricate esthetic practices.

Thus, specifying that all workstations must have "adequate" lighting enforces a standard that helps protect both client safety and practitioner performance.
