Reduce salon health and safety hazards

Despite the indulgent experience on offer to clients, health and beauty salons can be dangerous places. Failing to follow correct health and safety measures increases the risk of:

  • Slips, trips and falls caused by spillages
  • Skin burns and irritation from chemicals in beauty products
  • Headaches and dizziness from exposure to fumes
  • Minor cuts from sharp objects such as hairdressing scissors or blades
  • Allergic reactions to chemicals and skin products

To minimise these accidents and to keep your clients and members of staff safe, conduct comprehensive salon risk assessments.

With BrightSafe, hundreds of risk assessment templates are available to download, complete, and upload to the software.
