Typical hazards & measures
- Incident documentation and notifications — Complete a factual report with times, actions, people present and product lots; capture photos where allowed; save CCTV if available; notify insurers per policy and log client follow-up. Review outcomes at the next team huddle with any SOP changes.
- Asthma attack in the salon — Sit the client forward, loosen tight clothing and encourage their reliever inhaler. Reduce triggers by improving airflow; call for help if no improvement. Record products used and peak times so future appointments can be planned around sensitivities.
- Diabetic hypoglycaemia during service — Recognise confusion, sweating or shakiness early; stop, seat and offer fast sugar if the client is conscious and safe to swallow. Recheck after ten minutes, follow with a snack, and escalate if symptoms persist; document foods on hand for future planning.
- 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.
- Chemical splash to the eye — Start immediate irrigation with copious eyewash or water, holding lids open; continue for at least fifteen minutes and remove lenses if present. Note the product and batch, call for medical advice, and document exposure details for follow-up review.
