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 6 times across 5 separate inspections, most recently on January 9, 2014. For example: Ventilation system present, and operated in manner not permitting contamination or health hazard.

• Food temperature controlHigher risk

  In a personal service setting this usually means equipment that has to reach or hold a set temperature, such as a sterilizer (autoclave) or a wax heater, or a fridge for products. A sterilizer that does not reach its temperature may not kill germs on reusable tools.

  Recorded 6 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on January 24, 2013. For example: Food is thawed in an appropriate manner.

• 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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on September 23, 2026. For example: Hand hygiene facilities are conveniently located and adequately supplied [s. 8(1)].

• Cleaning, disinfection and sterilizationHigher risk

  Tools that touch clients, such as clippers, nail files, footbaths and tattoo equipment, must be cleaned and then disinfected or sterilized to the level the risk requires. Inspectors check disinfectant contact times, sterilizer test results and how clean tools are stored. Items that cannot be properly cleaned must be used only once.

  Recorded once on January 12, 2011. For example: Food contact surfaces washed / rinsed / sanitized after each use and following any operations when contamination may have occurred

• 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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on July 10, 2015. For example: Single-use equipment, instruments, and supplies are properly disposed of
