RA025 - Nail Technician Risk Assessment

Nail Technician Risk Assessment

This risk assessment is for salons and nail bars where nail technicians do manicures, pedicures, acrylics, gels, builder gels, nail art and e-file work. It suits a single nail station in a hair salon as well as a dedicated nail bar. If you rent desks to self-employed nail techs, it helps you agree who controls which risks.

What you'll get

• The main hazards at a nail station: dust, vapour, acetone, lamps and posture
• What COSHH and the workplace regulations require
• Practical controls, from extraction to stool height
• A worked nail bar example and a blank assessment to complete
