Typical hazards & measures
Changing areas and restrooms
— Provide single-occupancy facilities or clear supervision rules; keep corridors visible; post occupancy signs; prevent mixed-use during treatments; respond quickly to knocks; record any concern and adjust layout or scheduling promptly.
Group bookings and peer pressure
— Set safe staff-to-minor ratios; seat friends within sightlines; confirm each consent individually; pause if a client seems coerced; involve the guardian before irreversible steps; record who agreed what and any changes on the day.
Patch testing and chemicals
— Perform brand-specific tests on intact skin with guardian consent; read at 48 hours; document product, batch and site; proceed only if uneventful. Re-test after illness, pregnancy or brand change and store evidence with photos where allowed.
Privacy and draping
— Provide private changing with modesty towels; offer same-gender therapist on request; explain each touch step before starting and invite opt-outs. Record preferences and any areas to avoid so future sessions set up correctly from the outset.
Parental consent
— Obtain written consent from someone with parental responsibility; verify ID and relationship; explain scope and limits in plain language. File signed consent with date and service list, and reconfirm at each visit or whenever the plan changes.
