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 November 14, 2024. 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 2 times on November 14, 2024. For example: Is post-service care provided by personal service workers following any personal service or accident where a client's skin or mucous membrane is cut or punctured during a personal service, or when energy-emitting equipment is used?

  • 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 November 14, 2024. For example: Are personal services workers at the facility maintaining client records and where applicable, sterility documentation corresponding to that client?

    • 08. Is hand hygiene performed by the personal services worker when required, in a proper manner and are provisions available to perform hand hygiene?
      • Hand sanitizer at one tattoo station was expired. Ensure all hand sanitizers are not expired to perform sufficient hand hygiene considering the concentration of alcohol can decrease over time. Purchase hand sanitizers that have either a DIN or NPN with an alcohol content of at least 60%.
    • 11. Is post-service care provided by personal service workers following any personal service or accident where a client's skin or mucous membrane is cut or punctured during a personal service, or when energy-emitting equipment is used?
      • The operator provided verbal post care instructions to clients. Verbal and written post care instructions are required to be given to each client. Please ensure a written post care document is made readily available after each service.
    • 12. Are personal services workers at the facility maintaining client records and where applicable, sterility documentation corresponding to that client?
      • No records of sterility assurance documentation available on site at the time of the inspection. Sterility assurance documentation is required to have on record and maintained for 2 years. It must include the lot number, and the expiration of the needle attached to the client's records. Please ensure all tattoo artists are maintaining a sterility assurance documentation for every client.
    • 20. Is reusable equipment disinfected properly?
      • 1. The first tattoo station on the left has a Cavicide spray disinfectant that is expired. Disinfectants must not be expired to ensure surfaces are being effectively disinfected. Please replace the expired Cavicide. 2. The operator is using isopropyl alcohol to disinfect client contact surfaces. Isopropyl alcohol is not a disinfectant and should only be used as an antiseptic. An appropriate disinfectant must have either a DIN or MDL with a disinfectant, tuberculocidal, mycobacterium claim. Please purchase appropriate disinfectants and ensure all tattoo stations are equipped with them to properly disinfect client contact surfaces.
