Monitor And Maintain Health And Safety Practice In The Salon Assignment
Monitor and Maintain Health and Safety Practice in the Salon Assignment.
Abigail Davies
Sarah Wilkinson
Introduction
I will be talking about how to carry out a risk assessment and how to maintain health and safety within a salon. I will be able to explain the different procedures of carrying out a risk assessment and the importance of making sure the staff have support and knowledge of health and safety. I will be able to clarify the different types of security breaches that will include stock equipment, money, personal belongings and client records, also the significance of being able to understand the need for insurance, for salon purposes such as making references to employers, public and professional indemnity insurance.
Part 1 – Risk Assessments
State 5 reasons for carrying out a risk assessment.
1. Make sure that hazards and risks are identified and ensuring that the work environment is safe.
2. Make certain that any training needs for staff are followed through so they are not putting colleagues or clients at risk.
3. Allow risk assessments to be carried out regularly so that they can be compared to previous risks that have occurred within the salon and that they are kept up to date.
4. Ensure that the salon has been fully ventilated to minimise vapours.
5. Change the choice of product that could contain any harmful chemicals or cause allergic reactions.
2. Describe the procedure for carrying out a risk assessment.
The procedure of carrying out a risk assessment should be suitable and sufficient. It is a legal requirement for all employers and self-employed to carry out a risk assessment. This should be done by a nominated person who will then outline the level of risk and decide on the measures that are needed in place to prevent potential harmful situations towards staff, visitors and clients ever occurring again. You are legally required to assess the risks in your salon so you must put plans in place to control risks. Regular meetings
