Health & Safety Works!

If you attended our successful training series What Clients Want!, you'll know that Salon Strategies is dedicated to providing the highest quality interactive training for you and your employees, to help you offer the best service to your clients. As part of our Business Professional initiative, Salon Strategies and its partners, Lambeth College, the London Chinese Business Network and the LSC London Central were recently supported by the Health and Safety Executive to develop our training and support programme for ethnic hair and beauty businesses.

With the help of the Workers' Safety Adviser Challenge Fund we aim to work in partnership with workers and employers in over 100 BME owned nail bars, hair & beauty salons and barbershops, to secure improvements in health and safety in the ethnic hair and beauty sector.

Our Worker Safety Adviser can:

  • Review your existing health and safety arrangements by completing a risk assessment of your workplace. This will show you the areas that need your attention.
  • Involve your staff in helping you to develop a practical and comprehensive Health & Safety strategy for your business to ensure that everyone is part of the solution.
  • Draw up an action plan with you to implement changes and improvements at your own pace.
  • Offer free advice on how to handle any problems you have concerning health and safety.
  • Help you to develop a health and safety audit for your business. This will show you how much progress you are making and where further improvements can be made.

If you need confidential support and advice on how to make sure your workplace is safe for you, your staff and your clients, contact our Worker Safety Adviser to arrange an appointment by calling Salon Strategies on 020 7377 9922.
