that the spread of communicable diseases, injuries and accidents can be prevented or if
not minimized.

Learn

In a beauty salon or spa, there is a diversity of sharp objects, electrical devices,

dangerous chemicals and other types of potential hazards that, in a moment of distraction
or mishandling, could generate an accident - the reason why acquiring knowledge and
skills in identifying potential hazards and risks is as important as knowing the latest
trends in beauty care. Learners, read the information below;

Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) is a planned system of working to prevent

illness and injury where you work by recognizing and identifying hazards and risks. Health
and safety procedures is the responsibility of all persons in the beauty service industries.
You must identify the hazards where you are working and evaluate and control how
dangerous they are. Eliminate the hazard or modify the risk that it presents. An
occupational health and safety management system should follow the following elements:

1. Management Commitment-management can show their commitment to OHS by;

• establishing an OHS policy

• identifying its objectives

2. Planning- planning includes setting standards for management and employees by

establishing:

• How the business ensures sound OHS practices are implemented?

• Who is assigned and responsible for the implementation? This person will
coordinate the assessment, delegate tasks and be responsible for taking notes
and writing up information for the register
• What resources are required for the implementation?
• When will the OHS practices be implemented?
• How will workers identify and report hazards to employer?

3. Consultation- consult and work with your employees, it is important that employees
have a basic understanding of what could be considered high –risk activities in the salon.
There should be a two-way communication where employers listen to and cooperate with
employees then management can ensure OHS decisions are based on the best and most
up-to –date information.

4. Training - it is important to give the health and safety training to new or inexperienced
workers, including those that have been away from the workforce for some time.

5. Risk management - involves identifying the hazards present and then evaluating the
risk, taking into account the existing precautions.

The following are the steps of risk assessment:

1. Identifying hazards and risks
2. Evaluate and control hazards and risk
3. Control hazards and risks
 Hazard - a source of potential damage or something that can cause harm to a
person.

Risk - the chance or probability that a person will be harmed or experience an

adverse health effect if exposed to a hazard.

IDENTIFY HAZARDS AND RISKS

Identifying workplace hazards means looking for those things at your workplace that
have the potential to cause harm. There are many hazards present at a beauty salon that
deserve your attention.
Use this guide as a starting point for conducting a risk assessment at your facility to
correct potential hazards and keep your client safe.

Identifying hazards and risks should include the following:

• consulting with salon employees

• conducting a worker survey
• inspecting the workplace
• ensuring that the information supplied by manufacturers and suppliers is
regularly updated and made available to all in the workplace.

Common hazards in a beauty salon include:

1. Electricity

Common accidents in the workplace can result from contact with faulty electrical
equipment that may have become “live” or from contact with worn or damaged power cords
and switches, the presence of water in the salon increases the risk of electrocution or
injury.

2. Chemical hazard

Chemicals used in the beauty salon like nail polish, nail polish removers, callus
removers, and acrylic powders for artificial nails are common products found in many nail
salons. It causes skin irritations and respiratory problems. Information on chemical
hazards can be obtained from the following:

• the product label

• material safety data sheet (MSDS)
This sheet will provide information on how to properly handle, store, discard and
care for potentially hazardous chemicals. It will also provide. information on what
to do if you are exposed to the chemical and has bad reaction
• the manufacturer
3. Slips, Trips, Falls

Slips, trips and falls are common occurrences in workplaces. People slip and trip on
slippery, rough or uneven surfaces and may fall down from stairs or off ladders.

4. Fire

The range, number and 'portability' of electrical equipment used in salons, together with
their proximity to water, make for potentially hazardous situations.

5. Manual handling of material and tools

Lifting and moving heavy stock materials and working at poorly designed workstations
can cause injuries and muscle strains.
Injury due to cutting with cuticle nippers, cuticle scissors and cuticle pusher.

6. Infection hazards

Unsafe or unhygienic practices in the beauty salon may affect the health of customers and
workers that may lead to exposure to biological hazards that cause infectious diseases
such as blood borne pathogens (Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, and HIV), fungal infections
(Ringworm).

7. Ergonomic Hazards

Ergonomics is the scientific study of people at work. The goal of ergonomics is to reduce
stress and eliminate injuries and disorders associated with the overuse of muscles, bad
posture and repeated tasks.
