1 of 3 inspections on record found no infractions at all. No inspections are on record from the past 12 months. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Hand hygiene and infection control.

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 May 7, 2025. 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?

  • 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 3 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on May 7, 2025. For example: Is reusable equipment disinfected properly?

  • 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 May 7, 2025. For example: Are facility-specific written procedures established to adequately describe safe and sanitary practices?

  • 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 May 7, 2025. For example: Are cosmetic products appropriate for their intended use and being handled properly?

    2 infractions

    • 17. Is reusable equipment cleaned properly (Critical)?
      • Reusable semi-critical equipment was not being completed dried prior to disinfection. This may be causing the disinfectant to be diluted over time.Please ensure precleaned equipment is completely dry before proceeding to the disinection step.
    • 20. Is reusable equipment disinfected properly?
      • Preempt CS20 disinfectant failed the efficacy test using AHP 7 test papers.The solution was last changed on August 13, however the AHP 7 test strips used (exp 06-2025) did not start changing colour until after 3 minutes from the point of immersion. Test results have been documented by the operator, indicating that previous tests, including the most recent once on August 18, had passed. However, the operator was unaware of the requirement that the colour change must occur within 35 seconds, as directed by the manufacturer. The disinfectant may be diluted as the operator did not ensure precleaned equipment was dried before disinfection.Disinfectant solution was changed during the inspection and the test passed within 5 seconds.
