Who needs to be present when a cosmetology establishment is inspected?

The presence of the owner or a designated manager during an inspection of a cosmetology establishment is essential as they are responsible for the overall operation and compliance of the business with state regulations. This ensures that the inspector can communicate directly with someone who has the authority to address any potential violations or questions that may arise during the inspection.

Having an owner or manager available allows for prompt clarification and remediation of issues, fostering a better understanding of the inspector’s findings. This practice is in place to uphold safety standards, compliance with laws, and ensure that the establishment maintains its license and operates within the guidelines set forth by the North Dakota Board of Cosmetology.

While inspectors play a crucial role during these inspections, their effectiveness is maximized when there is someone present who can facilitate compliance and accountability. Other options such as any licensed cosmetologist being present or no one required to be present do not support the necessary level of oversight and responsibility required during such inspections.
