RA026 - Beauty Therapist Risk Assessment

Beauty Therapist Risk Assessment

This risk assessment is for salons with treatment rooms where beauty therapists do waxing, facials, massage, lash and brow work, electrical treatments and similar services. It works for a single room in a hair salon or a full beauty salon. If you rent rooms to self-employed therapists, use it to agree who controls which risks.

What you'll get

• The main hazards in a treatment room: wax, couches, electrical treatments and infection
• Which laws apply and who enforces them
• Practical controls for each treatment type
• A worked beauty salon example and a blank assessment to complete
