What must salons do regarding electrical or non-electrical equipment?

Salons are required to test and maintain their electrical and non-electrical equipment periodically to ensure safety and compliance with industry standards. Regular testing and maintenance help identify potential hazards before they result in equipment failure or unsafe working conditions. This proactive approach not only protects the health and safety of clients and staff but also helps in maintaining the functionality and longevity of the equipment.

While having equipment inspected annually might seem sufficient, it does not account for the need for ongoing evaluations, which are essential in a fast-paced environment like a salon where tools are frequently used. Relying solely on inspection when equipment appears to be functioning or only replacing items when they break could lead to increased risks and liabilities. Regularly scheduled maintenance and testing are best practices that contribute to a safe and efficient salon environment.
