    1. RIPH Module 2.1 Safety in the salon, and avoiding hazards Inc Electricity, Aerosols, Chemicals and Fire

    2. Hazards in the salon The main hazards in the salon can be either chemical, physical or electrical. You should all be aware of them and know how to prevent them. Emergency situation include fire and gas leaks

    3. HAZARDS LOOK AT THE FOLLOWING DIAGRAM AND SEE HOW MANY HAZARDS ARE SHOWN

    5. Chemical Hazards Chemicals should always be kept in their correct bottles If a chemical is put into a different container than the one it was supplied then it must be clearly labelled Always measure the amount of chemicals that you use Wipe up any spilt chemicals immediately

    6. Chemical Hazards Avoid getting any chemicals onto clients skin Never allow chemicals to get into the eyes Many chemicals are highly flammable, hair sprays should never be used near a naked flame Many chemicals will have symbols on their containers indicating something about their use Always read manufacturers instructions

    7. Physical Hazards These are mainly trips slips and falls Floor surfaces are often slippery, have non slip flooring If liquids are spilt they must be mopped up immediately Poor salon lighting can mean that people cant see where they are going Carpets in the reception could be a hazard if not properly fixed Hairdryers climazones and trolleys are on wheels and have leads, people could walk into them or trip up on their leads

    8. Electrical Hazards Wire plugs correctly Fit the correct fuse, not every thing is designed to work off a 13 amp fuse, the fuse will protect the appliance if something goes wrong An earth wire is fitted to an appliance to protect the user from electrocution, it works by carrying the electric current away if the appliance becomes live A lot of modern equipment has only two wires and is double insulated, so that it cannot become live if a wire comes loose inside Double insulated equipment will be marked with a sign that resembles one box inside another

    9. Electrical Hazards Never use broken plugs or sockets, you cold be electrocuted if your fingers touch something live If a lead or flex becomes worn do not wait for bare wires to show, replace it to prevent electrocution. This can happen if a flex is twisted a lot or put down next to a source of heat. Do not run to many appliances from one socket it can cause overloading and a possible fire Never examine an appliance without first disconnecting from the mains or it could be the last thing that you do. Never put wires directly into a socket without a plug

    10. Electrical Hazards Never use electrical equipment with wet hands you could be killed by electrocution Never trail leads where people walk or they may trip, this could not only cause injury but also cause damage to equipment Do not make holes or knock nails into walls where electric cables could be buried, this could cause fire or electrocution Never run a lead under a carpet where people might walk over it, over a period of time it could twist and pull out of the appliance.

    11. Electricity supply Every salon is supplied electricity by a mains supplier, into a sealed fuse box This box can only be opened by your electricity supplier. Next to the sealed box and connected to it is the meter, this records how much electricity you use and tells the supplier how much to charge you.

    12. Consumer unit Next to the meter is the consumer unit. This contains the mains switch and the fuses or RCD circuit breakers.

    13. Electricity flow Connected to the consumer unit are several circuits, which lead off to supply your lighting, heating and the plugs. Power circuits are in the form of a closed loop called a ring main circuit which goes from room to room around the salon. Sockets may be wired into the ring main at any desired point by a qualified electrician.

    14. Health and safety It is very important to know the position of the mains switch, as you will need to turn it off if there is an emergency such as an accident, flood or fire. It is always advisable to turn off the appropriate mains fuse when replacing a light bulb too.

    15. ELECTRICS MANY PIECES OF EQUIPMENT THAT ARE USED IN THE SALON ARE ELECTRICAL, THESE SHOULD BE TREATED WITH RESPECT AT ALL TIMES AS ELECTRICITY CAN KILL! WIRE PLUGS CORRECTLY (BROWN IS LIVE, BLUE IS NEUTRAL AND YELOW / GREEN IS EARTH) FIT THE CORRECT FUSE THIS PROTECTS THE APPLIANCE IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG

    16. ELECTRICS NEVER USE BROKEN PLUGS OR SOCKETS NEVER USE ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT WITH WET HANDS ALL APPLIANCES WITH METAL ON THE OUTSIDE SHOULD BE EARTHED UNLESS THEY BEAR THE SIGN INDICATING A BOX WITHIN A BOX WHICH INDICATES DOUBLE INSULATION

    17. Double Insulation Sign

    18. Plugs and sockets Sockets may be shuttered so that the holes are covered when not in use. The earth pin (the longest one) opens the shutters as the plug is pushed in. Modern plugs have sheathing on the live and neutral pins, reducing the chance of electric shock when the plug is withdrawn from the socket. Each plug contains its own fuse, which will break if there is a fault in the appliance. It is important to replace the fuse if it breaks with the correct size. All new appliances are now fitted with moulded plugs avoiding the possibility of incorrect wiring and fusing. Most plugs are made from shatterproof plastic, preventing the plug cracking when dropped.

    19. Wiring A Plug The three wires in a flex live, neutral and earth are coated with different coloured plastic insulation so that it is easy to connect the correct wire to the corresponding terminal in the plug. The internationally used colour code for the wires is as follows: Brown is connected to the terminal marked live or L Blue is connected to the terminal marked neutral or N Green and yellow is connected to the terminal marked earth or E

    27. Over Loading Plug Sockets Overloading can be caused in three main ways; Plugging too many appliances into one socket. Using too many appliances in a ring main circuit Connecting heating or power appliances into a lighting circuit Overloading may cause the wiring to get hot and has the potential to cause a fire. Circuit breakers or fuses are designed as a safety device to prevent this happening by cutting off the current if overloading takes place.

    28. Circuit breakers If the installation is more modern, the consumer unit will contain circuit breakers instead of fuses. The circuit breaker is an automatic switch which cuts off the power supply whenever excess current flows through the circuit. This can be caused by a fault in an appliance or the wiring or through overloading. The supply can be restored, once the cause has been found, by simply switching the switch back to the on position.

    29. Using the correct size of plug fuse A plug fuse is designed to melt if the current exceeds the safety limit of the wiring. Fuses are available in ratings of 3 amps, 5 amps and 15 amps. It is important to know the correct power of the appliance before fitting a new plug fuse. The power is the rate at which the appliance uses electricity and is measured in watts. The higher the wattage of the appliance the greater the consumption of electricity. The power of the appliance is usually marked on a small label on the appliance, along with the voltage at which it is to be used.

    30. Typical wattages of salon appliances and Amp ratings Hair clippers 200 watts - A 3 amp fuse is used for appliances up to 720 watts Hand hair dryer 500 to 1000 watts - A 5 amp fuse is used for appliances of 720 1200 watts Hood dryer 1000-2000 watts - A 13 amp fuse is used for appliances of 1200 3000 watts Washing machine 3000 watts A 13 amp fuse is used for appliances of 1200 3000 watts

    32. Electricity in the Salon Every salon is supplied electricity by a mains supplier, into a sealed fuse box This box can only be opened by your electricity supplier. Next to the sealed box and connected to it is the meter, this records how much electricity you use and tells the supplier how much to charge you.

    33. If someone was having an electric shock what would you do? Turn off the supply immediately What wouldn't you do?

    34. Health and safety It is very important to know the position of the mains switch, as you will need to turn it off if there is an emergency such as an accident, flood or fire. It is always advisable to turn off the appropriate mains fuse when replacing a light bulb too.

    35. Safety Notes Avoid the use of adaptors. Sockets are only designed to carry a current of up to 13 amps and overloading may occur if an adaptor is used to plug several appliances into one socket. Take care not to damage plugs by dropping them on to the floor. Plugs with damaged or bent pins may not fit the socket perfectly and will become hot if a spark jumps across any small air gap between plug and socket. Such a plug should be replaced. Any appliance, plug, socket or flex which is overheating is faulty requires attention.

    36. Accidents with Electrical Equipment Ensure that all frayed flexes and damaged plugs and switches are replaced immediately. Ensure that the mains are switched off before replacing fuses, or light bulbs. Disconnect equipment before examining it for faults. Never operate electrical equipment with wet hands or while standing on a wet floor.

    37. SALON RESOURCES THERE ARE MANY RESOURCES IN THE SALON THAT COULD BE POTENTIAL HAZARDS AND THAT REQUIRE GENERAL MAINTENANCE SALON FURNITURE RECEPTION DISPLAYS AND STOCK TOOLS AND EQIPMENT HUMAN RESOURCES STOCK AND CHEMICALS
