COSHH Assessment for Microblading Technicians - Completed for Your Business

The substances used in microblading work go beyond the pigments themselves. Numbing creams containing lidocaine and prilocaine are widely used and fall under COSHH regulations. Aftercare products, skin preparation solutions, and cleaning agents all need to be assessed for the hazards they present during regular professional use. || For microblading technicians, chemical exposure occurs during pigment preparation and mixing, numbing cream application with the attendant skin absorption risk to the practitioner, contact with aftercare products throughout the day, and handling of disinfectants and cleaning solutions between clients. || COSHH regulations require you to identify these substances, assess the risks they present, and document the controls you have in place. This applies whether you work alone or with other technicians.

It is common for microblading COSHH documentation to focus on the pigments and overlook the numbing preparations, aftercare products, and cleaning agents. These substances all present chemical exposure risks and all need to be included in a proper COSHH assessment. || Pigment assessment also needs to go beyond simply listing the product name. The hazardous compounds within microblading pigments - iron oxides, potentially azo compounds depending on the brand - need to be identified and their exposure routes addressed. || CompliantDocs generates your assessment from the full range of products you tell us you use, producing COSHH documentation that covers everything relevant to your microblading practice.
