Typical hazards & measures
Cleaning fluids on live equipment
— Unplug and cool tools before cleaning; spray disinfectant onto a cloth, not into vents/sockets. Keep liquids away from switches, never immerse non-washable parts, and allow complete dry-time before reconnecting to power.
Dust and hair ingress into motors
— Brush out intakes daily; wash/replace filters to schedule. Keep stations free of hair piles that get drawn into vents. If sparks, squeals or burning odours occur, stop use, label the fault, and send for service or replacement.
Overheating and contact burns
— Check tool temperature before contact; keep dryers moving and never park hot tools on capes or skin. Rest tools on heat-proof mats, clean filters to maintain airflow, and allow full cool-down before storage. Replace tools that smell hot or cycle unpredictably.
Use near water or damp areas
— Keep electrical tools away from basins and wet work; dry hands before use. Use splash-resistant models and RCD-protected circuits. Wipe spills promptly, elevate cords off floors, and never operate tools on wet clients or wet capes.
Blade/guard changes while powered
— Isolate first: unplug or remove battery and verify off. Use cut-resistant gloves where appropriate, secure small parts in trays, and test reassembly on a dummy pass before touching skin. Record any nicks; replace worn guards promptly.
