Safety and Health in the Salon Training System

"Health and Safety in the Salon" contains a 224-page Leader's Guide and accompanying 30-minute video to teach OSHA compliance in the cosmetology school or salon. It is designed to be used in participant groups but is also effective as a self-study tool. The video and Leader's Guide may be used together or separately. The package takes the viewer on a tour of the salon, and covers every area from reception to chemical dispensary, shampoo, cutting and styling, manicure and pedicure, and facial. Specific hazards to the stylist and client are highlighted, giving the precautions for each. The product supports but goes beyond the scope of the safety- and health-related matter presented in Milady's Standard Textbook of Cosmetology. Use of this product will help cosmetology schools and salons develop policies and procedures, hazard awareness and control, training, record keeping, and other practices that meet OSHA and health-related licensing requirements. Several features included in the leader's discussion guide: Hazard Alert identifies stylist and client hazards at each salon station at a glance; Hazard Elimination and Control go beyond awareness by giving simple, practical steps to meet OSHA health and safety requirements. Inspections and follow-up checklists emphasize what to look for to ensure safe work conditions, and includes housekeeping and sanitation, ventilation, emergency precautions and first aid, fire safety and protection, walkway, stairway, and exit safety, ergonomics, and electrical safety items.Nelson, Dennis G. is the author of 'Safety and Health in the Salon Training System' with ISBN 9781562537098 and ISBN 1562537091.
