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.
Food source, labelling and allergensHigher risk
Products used on clients must come from approved sources, stay in their original labelled containers and be thrown out when they are expired or contaminated. Unlabelled products make it impossible to know what a client is being exposed to.
Recorded 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on September 21, 2026. For example:
Ensure all equipment designated as single-use or made of material that does not withstand cleaning and disinfection or sterilization is discarded immediately after use. (O.Reg. 136/18 (10)(5).
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 3 separate inspections, most recently on September 21, 2026. For example:
Work surfaces must be made of such form and material that they can be readily cleaned and disinfected or sterilized. (O.Reg. 136/18; Sec.8(1)(9)).
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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on September 21, 2026. For example:
Ensure the floors, walls, ceilings, fixtures, and furniture of the setting are maintained in good repair, easily cleanable, of smooth and impermeable material, and maintained in a sanitary condition (O.Reg. 136/18; Sec. 8(1)(2).
