When performing services at a client’s location, which is true?

• A. You may ignore sanitation rules if you’re at the client's home.
• B. You must still comply with sanitation, space, and safety requirements set by the board.
• C. You only need to carry basic first aid kit.
• D. You must schedule your visits during business hours.

Answer: (B)

When you perform esthetic services, the rules about sanitation, space, and safety apply no matter where you work, including at a client’s location. The board expects you to maintain proper infection control, use sanitized tools, disinfect and dispose of waste correctly, and ensure the workspace meets safety standards (adequate space, lighting, ventilation, and safe electrical setups). This protects clients and keeps you in compliance, even outside a traditional clinic or salon. Options that suggest bypassing sanitation rules at a client’s home, relying on only a basic first aid kit, or sticking to business hours miss the ongoing responsibility to uphold board standards in any setting.
