Health and safety software for beauty salons

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 trip 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.

Train hair stylists and beauticians with e-learning courses

The e-learning software provides salon owners with access to hundreds of health and safety training courses. From COSHH to fire safety, the online courses make training and awareness simple and digestible. In short, easy to access videos and interactive tools, salon employees will learn about their duties and legal requirements.

Explore a range of online training courses including:

• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) training
• Hazardous substances awareness
• Chemical handling and storage training
• Spills in the workplace safety training
• First aid awareness

Stay COSHH compliant with less admin

COSHH plays a key role in beauty and hair salons. The regulations for controlling hazardous substances require hairdressers and beauticians to control dangerous items such as bleach or dyes.

By conducting COSHH risk assessments and using the right control systems, you can manage hazardous substance risks.

BrightHR's advanced hazardous substance management tool includes several features to streamline COSHH management for hairdressers:

• Create unique risk assessments for products containing chemicals
• Track the implementation of control measures
• Use a central hub for storing documentation ready for safety inspections
• Practical guidance for addressing compliance shortfalls and protecting staff and clients

• Onboard apprentices with digital checklists and new starter documentation
• Access HR document templates for contracts, policies, and employment paperwork
• Set performance goals and track progress throughout the apprenticeship
