What these findings mean

Health authorities word their findings differently, so we group them by what they mean for clients. In personal service settings like salons, spas and tattoo studios, higher-risk findings are the ones that could spread infection from one client to the next, through broken skin, blood or instruments that were not properly cleaned and sterilized.

• Protecting food from contaminationHigher risk

  Clean and used instruments, towels and supplies must be kept apart, and products such as wax, creams and inks must be dispensed so they cannot be contaminated between clients (no double-dipping). Mixing clean and dirty items is a direct route for infection.

  Recorded once on November 17, 2025. For example: Sharps are single-use and disposed of in a sanitary manner immediately after use.

• Hand hygiene and infection controlHigher risk

  Infection control is the core of a personal service inspection. Inspectors check that operators clean their hands and change gloves between clients, that a stocked hand sink is available, and that anything that breaks the skin is handled so blood-borne infections such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV cannot pass from one client to the next.

  Recorded once on November 17, 2025. For example: Every person who provides a personal service performs hand hygiene as appropriate.

• Equipment and utensilsLower risk

  Instruments, chairs, tables and footbaths must be made of materials that can be cleaned, kept in good repair and stored so they stay clean. Single-use items such as nail files, buffers, razors and needles must be thrown away after each client.

  Recorded once on March 19, 2026. For example: Equipment/instrument(s) are maintained in good repair and in a sanitary condition.

• Building, plumbing and upkeepLower risk

  The premises needs a working hand sink, a separate sink for cleaning instruments where required, cleanable surfaces, and good lighting and ventilation. Upkeep problems are usually lower risk on their own, but they make thorough cleaning harder.

  Recorded once on November 17, 2025. For example: Premises provides notification in writing of: intention to operate, any additional services being provided, and/or any new construction or renovations.
