You must have a Health & Safety Statement to ensure your salon complies with the ‘Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005′ is a legal requirement. It is surprising how many salons do not have even the basic fire fighting equipment. Breaches of The Health and Safety at Work Act could lead to an owner being jailed for up to six months and a fine of up to €3000. The Health & Safety Authority provides information on requirements to comply with the Act. it also has a comprehensive guide to identifying risks and writing a safety Statement. Information can be found on the webiste www.hsa.ie
Please see the following link for frequently asked questions: www.hsa.ie/eng/FAQs/Safety,_Health_and_Welfare_at_Work_Act_2005
An employee who is not satisfied that their salon meets Health & Safety criteria can make a complaint to the Health & Safety Authority. www.hsa.ie

When choosing a career in hairdressing one has many choices to make. Do I take the traditional route of training through a salon and attain a qualification on a part time basis or do I sign up for an intensive hairdressing course at a hairdressing school. Salons, like most other businesses right now, are experiencing a slowdown so it is proving difficult to obtain a position as a trainee. Increasingly, those choosing a career are opting for a one year intensive course like the 12 month course at The College of Hairdressing, Connaught. On graduation the student enters the job market at Junior Stylist level and can travel abroad with their international qualification should they so desire.
Those who are already in a salon can achieve the same Level 2 City and Guilds qualification by attending the college on a part time basis by day or Night. Click here for more information on how achieving your City & Guilds Units individually….http://www.hairdressing.ie/courses_pt.php
