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.

  • 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 July 21, 2026. For example: Is hand hygiene performed by the personal services worker when required, in a proper manner and are provisions available to perform hand hygiene?

  • 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 once on July 21, 2026. For example: Are facility-specific written procedures established to adequately describe safe and sanitary practices?

  • 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 July 21, 2026. For example: Is reusable equipment disinfected properly?

  • 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 July 21, 2026. For example: Are sinks accessible and used appropriately for the personal services provided?

    • 03. Are facility-specific written procedures established to adequately describe safe and sanitary practices?
      • Required written procedures were not available at the time of inspection.Written procedures provide standardized infection prevention and control practices and help ensure services are performed safely and consistently by all operators and workers.Ensure all required facility-specific written procedures are developed, maintained on-site, and readily available for reference.
    • 08. Is hand hygiene performed by the personal services worker when required, in a proper manner and are provisions available to perform hand hygiene?
      • The operator advised that faucet handles are touched by hand after completing handwashing. Proper handwashing procedures were reviewed on-site, including the use of a paper towel to turn off the faucet after hands have been washed.Handwashing is intended to remove transient microorganisms and reduce the risk of disease transmission. Touching faucet handles with clean hands after handwashing may re-contaminate the hands, as the faucet handles may have been touched with unclean hands prior to handwashing. Using a paper towel to turn off the faucet helps maintain hand hygiene and reduce the potential for cross-contamination.Ensure proper handwashing procedures are followed, including using a paper towel, where available, to turn off faucet handles after handwashing to prevent re-contamination of clean hands.
    • 20. Is reusable equipment disinfected properly?
      • Soluguard (DIN - 02278995) was being used for the disinfection of reusable equipment and environmental surface disinfection. However, the product DIN was identified as discontinued/cancelled by Health Canada.Disinfectants used for reprocessing reusable equipment must have a valid Health Canada DIN or MDL to verify that the product has been assessed and approved for its intended use. Use of products without a valid authorization may result in ineffective disinfection.Ensure all disinfectants used for equipment reprocessing have a valid Health Canada DIN or MDL and are used according to the manufacturer's instructions.
    • 31. Are sinks accessible and used appropriately for the personal services provided?
      • The hair-washing sink was used for both handwashing and equipment reprocessing. The faucet hose was observed resting within the sink basin and required to hold during handwashing. The operator was advised to use the adjacent washroom sink for handwashing activities.Handwashing sinks should provide a sanitary means of performing hand hygiene. Contact between the faucet hose and sink basin may contribute to contamination of hands during handwashing and increase the potential for cross-contamination.Ensure handwashing is conducted at a sink that provides a sanitary means of hand hygiene and is separate from equipment reprocessing activities.
