A freelance practitioner must retake the Oregon Law on Safety and Infection Control exam every how many years?

• A. every year
• B. every 2 years
• C. every 3 years
• D. every 5 years

Answer: (B)

The key idea is that Oregon keeps licensure current through a regular renewal cycle, and the Law on Safety and Infection Control exam is tied to that cycle. In Oregon, estheticians renew their license every two years, and part of staying in good standing is retaking the safety and infection control law exam at each renewal period. That makes the required interval two years. This biennial refresh helps ensure practitioners stay up to date on sanitation, safety rules, and any changes in the regulations. Scheduling the retake to align with your renewal window keeps you compliant without risk of lapse. If you’re unsure of your exact renewal date, check the Oregon Board of Cosmetology’s official resources, but the standard interval to retake is every two years.
