HS040 - Mobile, Home-Visit and Off-Site Working

Mobile, Home-Visit and Off-Site Working

This guide is for salon owners whose staff work away from the salon. That includes mobile hairdressers and nail techs, therapists doing home visits, stylists doing wedding hair at hotels and venues, barbers visiting care homes, and teams working at photo shoots, shows or events. It also helps self-employed mobile professionals who rent from you or work alongside you. Working in someone else's space brings risks you cannot control in the same way as in your own salon.

What you'll get

• What the law says about staff working away from the salon
• How to risk assess home visits and off-site jobs
• How to set up a simple check-in system
• How to carry, set up and use kit safely in other people's spaces
• Which licensing rules can follow you to a client's home
