HS017 - H&S Law for Salons: Your Duties Explained

H&S Law for Salons: Your Duties Explained

This guide is for anyone who owns or runs a hair salon, barbershop, beauty salon, nail bar or aesthetics clinic in Great Britain. It is especially useful if you have just taken on your first employee. It also helps if you have never seen all your duties written down in one place. It explains each duty in plain English, says who checks it and what happens if things go wrong.

What you'll get

• The main Act and regulations that apply to every salon
• Which duties apply to all salons and which start at five employees
• What you owe clients, chair renters and visitors, not just staff
• Who enforces health and safety in salons, and how
• What can happen if you get it wrong
