Tying yourself in knots over salon Health & Safety?
Being a salon owner might seem glamorous, but there are several legal responsibilities that you must consider. Specifically, your obligation to protect those on your premises - such as staff and customers - at all times. In fact, there are several Health & Safety laws that detail your legal requirements, including:
The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974.
The Health & Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981.
The Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations (RIDDOR).
Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH)
Guidance from The Health and Safety Executive.
Failure to manage your salon's own Health & Safety properly - or follow the above legislation, can have severe consequences for you and your business.
Customers and staff could be injured, and as a result, you might face legal and finance proceedings. Not to mention, it could even cause damage to your company's reputation. But, with so much to oversee in a hair and beauty salon, managing Health & Safety might feel a struggle.
When you outsource your Health & Safety to Peninsula, we monitor and uphold your legal obligations. We provide:
Essential Health & Safety documentation.
Award-winning wellbeing support for staff.
Unlimited support to deal with any Health & Safety issue.
It's just one of the reasons why so many hair and beauty salons choose to work with us.

Freshen up your Health & Safety policies with Peninsula's documentation service
As part of your legal obligations, Health & Safety legislation states you must provide certain documents and procedures. This is so you can outline your approach to Health & Safety management, such as how you will provide clean and hygienic facilities. Or, the importance of staff maintaining good personal hygiene.
Required documentation includes:
Accident records.
Details of staff Health & Safety training.
But, if you've never drafted the above legal documents before - how can you be sure they're correct?
When you outsource your Health & Safety to Peninsula, our team of expert consultants will craft all your required policies. We'll help your workplace maintain robust safety procedures that protect everyone from harm, as well as ensuring your legal compliance. And that's not all, we'll even update your documentation when legislation changes too.
So whether you run one or several salons, we're here to help you with your documentation - every step of the way.
A salon risk assessment service you can rely on
Not only must you protect staff as far as you reasonably can, you must ensure the safety of clients and visitors too. As such, you’re legally required to perform a risk assessment to identify hazards in your salon.
In fact, there are several Health & Safety hazards in a salon, including:
Chemical products causing allergic reactions, such as skin irritation and contact dermatitis.
Hazardous substances, such as bleach and acetone.
A contaminated water supply, such as a Legionella breakout.
Fire and even trip hazards from the wires of hairdressing products, such as hair straighteners.
Occupational health problems, such as occupational asthma.
An outdated first aid kit.
To ensure the above doesn't have adverse effects on your staffs' and clients' safety, you are required to take appropriate measures. This can be anything from using wet floor signs around sinks, to providing extra personal protective equipment to your employees.
However, if you've never performed risk analysis before, you may not know where to start.
That's why when you work with Peninsula, we help you do your workplace risk assessment in person, at your salon, at a time that suits you. After your visit, you’ll receive a personalised action plan - which advises what controls you need to protect people from any Health & Safety risks present. And that's not all - we'll even perform your fire safety assessments too.
