The Hairdressing Risk Assessment Template has been developed to assist Australian hairdressing businesses in meeting their obligations under Work Health and Safety legislation. It provides a systematic approach to identifying and managing risks specific to the hairdressing industry, including chemical exposure, equipment safety, ergonomic hazards, and infection control. This template is essential for new salon setups, periodic safety reviews, and following any workplace changes or incidents. It addresses the unique challenges faced by hairdressing professionals while ensuring compliance with Australian WHS regulations and industry standards. The document serves as both a risk management tool and a record of the salon's commitment to maintaining a safe workplace for staff and clients.
