Typical hazards & measures
- Reuse or poor reprocessing of reusable instruments — Prefer single-use. If reusable, clean, ultrasonic, and sterilise; pouch with indicators, store sealed, and open at the chair. Track cycle IDs and run weekly audits with spot checks on packaging integrity and storage conditions.
- Use of non-sterile pigments or diluents — Purchase sterile, lot-coded pigments and sterile diluent; decant to single-use cups, never top up, and discard leftovers. Record lot and site per client and change micro-brushes between dips to avoid back-contamination.
- Waste segregation and clinical uplift gaps — Segregate sharps, contaminated dressings and general waste; store clinical bags in locked bins; retain collection manifests and reconcile volumes; audit monthly and act on variances within twenty-four hours with retraining if needed.
- Staff competency and scope creep — Maintain a competency matrix for dermaplaning, microblading, microneedling and injectables; require supervised sign-off and CPD refresh; restrict unsupervised work outside scope; review incidents for targeted training.
- Hepatitis B and immunisation gaps in staff — Offer Hep B vaccination with titre follow-up; document status confidentially, advise non-responders, and reinforce standard precautions regardless. Include checks at onboarding and annual reviews, with access to occupational advice.
