Sou autônomo e tenho um salão de beleza em casa. Preciso fazer uma avaliação de risco?

In the UK, a risk assessment is a requirement of the Health & Safety at Work Act but this is aimed at salons with 5 or more employees. However, as profissionais de unhas, we work with hazardous produtos químicos and need to provide a very clean and hygienic environment for our clients.

For your own safety and that of your clients, a full risk assessment is strongly advised. During the recent pandemic is has been a requirement for all to have ready for an Environmental Health Dept check.

In order to fulfill part of your risk assessment you need to have copies of SDS (Fichas de dados de segurança) for all products that contain hazardous chemicals e.g. liquid monômero, UV curado products, acetona, etc.
