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 May 13, 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)

  • 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 August 17, 2022. For example: Every person who provides a personal service practices good personal hygiene and refrains from smoking while providing a personal service. s. 12(1)(2)

  • 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 15 times across 11 separate inspections, most recently on September 25, 2026. For example: Proper cleaning and disinfection of equipment, instruments, and surfaces. s. 10(4)

  • Permits, records and postingLower risk

    Operating permits, client records, sterilization logs and required signage. Client records matter because they let health officials contact people if an infection is linked to the business.

    Recorded 7 times across 7 separate inspections, most recently on May 13, 2024. For example: Required records are maintained. s. 6(2), s. 14 (1)(2)(3)(4)

  • 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 September 25, 2026. For example: The setting is not in a room or part of a room used as a dwelling. s. 8(1)
