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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on December 6, 2024. For example: Surfaces, fixtures and furniture are in good repair, easily cleanable and of smooth and impermeable material maintained in a sanitary manner. s. 8(1)(3)

• 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 4 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on December 8, 2020. For example: Proper cleaning and disinfection of equipment, instruments, and surfaces. s. 10(4)

• Food safety training and certificationLower risk

  Some jurisdictions require operators to complete infection-prevention training, or to hold specific qualifications for higher-risk services such as tattooing, piercing or electrolysis. These findings mean the training record was missing at the time. They do not by themselves mean a client was put at risk.

  Recorded once on September 18, 2019. For example: Before providing a personal service, obtain client contact information. s. 5

• 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 August 8, 2018. For example: Washrooms are kept clean and equipped with the required supplies

• Other findingsLower risk

  Findings that do not fit the categories above, such as follow-ups that confirm an earlier violation was corrected, or requirements specific to this type of facility.

  Recorded once on September 18, 2019. For example: Cosmetic creams, lubricants, and waxes are stored and used in an approved manner.
