Typical hazards & measures
- Storage and expiry of sharps and sterile packs — Store packs dry, sealed and dated; rotate first-expiry-first-out; check integrity and expiry before opening; discard compromised stock; never pre-open; record lot and pack ID immediately after use for reliable traceability.
- 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.
- 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.
- Blood splash to eyes or mouth — Wear eye protection for dermaplaning, extractions and brow work; mask both parties for close facial tasks. Keep eyewash within ten seconds; if splashed, irrigate fifteen minutes, document fully, and review technique and positioning at debrief.
- Blood spill clean-up failures — Keep spill kits with chlorine granules, absorbents and PPE at each zone. Cordon area, apply to full contact time, lift and re-clean, bag as clinical waste, supervisor sign-off, and restock kits immediately after any use; log the event.
