Your legal obligation
What the law requires from microblading technicians
Microblading involves using a manual blade tool to make small incisions in the skin and implant pigment into the upper dermis. This places microblading technicians under significant health and safety obligations, covering sharps handling, pigment chemical assessment, cross-contamination prevention, and skin penetration risk management. || The pigments used in microblading contain iron oxides and other compounds that fall under COSHH regulations. A proper COSHH assessment needs to address the specific pigments you use, their chemical composition, and the exposure routes during preparation, application and aftercare. || Your risk assessment must cover the blade tool, how cuts and nicks to the practitioner are managed, how used blades are stored and disposed of, client screening procedures, and cross-contamination prevention between clients. A health and safety policy, fire safety risk assessment and skin dermatitis prevention policy complete the compliance picture.
The real problem
Microblading technicians often underestimate the compliance requirements of their work
Microblading training is demanding and technical, but the compliance side of setting up a microblading business is rarely covered in depth during training programmes. Many technicians complete their qualification, set up their business, and start seeing clients without having addressed the health and safety documentation requirements fully. || The sharps element of microblading is particularly important from a compliance perspective. The manual blade used in microblading creates risks that are distinct from other beauty treatments and these need to be documented specifically. Generic beauty risk assessment templates will not cover blade handling, accidental sharps injuries, or the management of blood exposure. || CompliantDocs generates microblading-specific documentation from the information you provide about your procedures and products.
