Beauty salons

A qualification designed to reduce
health and safety risks in
beauty salons has been
launched by CIEH (the
Chartered Institute of
Environmental Health).

The CIEH’s Marianne
Phillips said: “As people
working in the beauty
industry are regularly
faced with wide ranging
health and safety risks
from slips and trips to
hazardous chemicals – workplace
incidences and accidents in the
beauty industry remain stubbornly
high and difficult to reduce.”
The new qualification will provide
candidates with
knowledge and
understanding of health
and safety issues
affecting the salon,
helping them to work
more safely and be more
aware of how their own
actions can affect the
health, safety and
wellbeing of others.
