How often must TDLR conduct inspections on cosmetology establishments?

The frequency of inspections conducted by TDLR on cosmetology establishments is determined primarily by the nature of the establishment's operations and any complaints received. This means that inspections can occur based on specific complaints about an establishment, as well as random checks to ensure compliance with regulations.

This method allows TDLR to more effectively allocate resources and address potential issues in establishments that may have higher risks or problems indicated by customer feedback or previous violations. Additionally, it provides an opportunity to maintain standards across the board without being limited to a strict schedule that might overlook establishments needing more immediate attention.

In contrast to the other choices, which suggest routine inspections at fixed intervals, the approach of conducting inspections based on complaints and random checks allows for a more responsive and adapted regulatory framework that can help maintain higher standards of public health and safety in the beauty industry.
