H&S Induction Checklist for New Starters

This template is for salon, barbershop, beauty, nail and aesthetics owners and managers who take on new staff. Use it on day one for every new stylist, barber, therapist, nail tech, apprentice, receptionist and Saturday junior, and for agency or temporary cover. It gives you a ready-made checklist, role-specific add-ons and a signed record you can keep on file.

What you'll get

• What the law says you must cover when someone starts
• What to cover before a new starter works on a client
• Extra checks for apprentices, under-18s, Saturday staff and temps
• How to brief a new chair renter on your salon's safety rules
• How to sign off the induction and follow up after the first week
