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 September 25, 2023. For example: Every product used when providing a personal service is stored and dispensed in a manner which prevents contamination. (O.Reg. 136/18; 11(1)).

• 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 October 13, 2023. For example: Ensure the floors, walls, ceilings, fixtures and furniture of the setting are maintained in good repair, easily cleanable, of a smooth and impermeable material and maintained in a sanitary condition (O.Reg. 136/18; Sec. 8(1)(2).

• 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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on September 25, 2023. For example: Records relating to invasive procedures must be kept by every operator of a personal service setting (O.Reg. 136/18; 6(1-2)).
