Typical hazards & measures

  • Excess product left on benchesLimit out-on-bench volumes to current tasks; return cans and solvents to the cabinet between clients; rest guns and brushes on metal trays; remove waste to lidded bins before close; log day-start and day-end counts to prevent station stockpiles.
  • Portable heaters in treatment rooms and receptionsAvoid portable fan heaters; if essential, select tip-over-safe thermostatic units; maintain one metre clearance, no drapes or capes nearby; unplug when unattended; ban use near aerosols and solvents; add heater checks to opening and closing routines and log usage.
  • Solvent vapour ignition during decanting of nail solventsDecant acetone, isopropyl alcohol and ethyl acetate in a ventilated bay away from sparks; use anti-static mats and continuous container contact; cap immediately; ban flames and smoking; keep spill kit and eyewash within 10 seconds; record decants and near misses.
  • Wax heater ignitionUse thermostatic heaters with calibrated dials; test on wrist and client; never leave unattended; place on heat-proof trays away from sprays; unplug before moving; keep a fire blanket and carbon-dioxide extinguisher visible; drill staff on kill switch and isolation.
  • Flammable aerosols near hot toolsMark a no-spray zone around irons and dryers; let barrels cool before finishing mists. Aim away from heat, keep lids on, ventilate, hold only day-use cans at stations, and clear empties to metal lidded bins each shift; brief stylists at open and close checks.
