Posted By sian Hello there I work in a college, and we have a large hair dressing department, with regards to risk assessments they are very good, but My question is do we need to do a separate risk assessment for each bit of equipment they use, i.e straighteners hair dryers, or can i put it in to one general categories.. Is there anywhere I can find information on Hair dressing risk assessments. sian

Posted By Richard Selk Sian, Just a thought; The HSE have a link that may be known to you http://www.hse.gov.uk/fit3street/hairdressers.htm that highlights the hairdressing risks they currently regard as important. Or you could start at the HSEs risk assessment examples site http://www.hse.gov.uk/ri...studies/hairdressing.htm Richard
