Typical hazards & measures
- Delayed recognition of life-threatening symptoms — Train all staff to spot red flags and use a recognise–respond–refer flow. Stop the service, position the client safely, assign caller, first aider and note-taker roles, and time-stamp events as they occur to support a clear handover to responders.
- Missing health information and emergency contacts — Collect brief health notes, allergies and an emergency contact at booking; verify on arrival. Keep details secure but reachable at the chair; update after changes, and include a quick “who to call” panel on the day sheet for rapid escalation.
- Scene control and bystander management — Assign one person to manage the area, move non-essential clients away, and maintain privacy screens. Pause music, clear walkways for responders, and reopen zones only after cleaning and supervisor sign-off to keep the environment calm and respectful.
- Thermal burn or scald — Remove heat source, cool the area under cool running water for at least ten minutes, and avoid ointments or ice. Cover loosely with a sterile, non-fluffy dressing; check for jewellery constriction and record the device, temperature setting and timings.
- Anaphylaxis during a treatment — Stop work, call emergency services, lie the client flat with legs raised, and use client-supplied adrenaline if trained and available. Avoid oral intake, monitor breathing, and prepare a calm handover with timings, products used and observed reactions.
