Hazards can and do happen, and everyone should be aware of the safety implications. As part of personal responsibility, the stylist needs to be able to recognise when the hazard needs to be dealt with immediately, or when help may be needed, and if it needs to be reported to a supervisor, lecturer, technician or manageress.

It is important to be able to identify hazards before they become risks. Should they become risks it is essential to know how to deal with them.

Different types of risk assessments

  Three types of risk assessments:

  • Baseline risk assessments (Baseline HIRA)
  • Issue based risk assessments (Issue based HIRA)
  • Continues risk assessments (ContinuesHIRA)
