Why gel nail technicians need a thorough risk assessment
UV/LED nail lamps expose the skin of both the client's hands and the technician's hands to ultraviolet radiation during gel curing. The risk assessment must address the UV exposure route for the technician from repeated daily exposure during curing cycles, and what protection measures are in place. || Gel product skin contact during application is the primary route of acrylate sensitisation. The risk assessment needs to address how skin contact with uncured gel is prevented - the use of brushes rather than fingers, the use of gloves, and how contaminated implements are managed. || Electrical safety for UV/LED lamps and nail e-files, and the musculoskeletal demands of gel nail work, also need to be addressed.
The real problem
Gel nail risk assessments often miss UV lamp technician exposure and acrylate gel skin contact prevention protocols
The UV exposure for the technician and the gel skin contact prevention measures are specific to gel nail work and frequently absent from risk assessments. CompliantDocs generates documentation that covers these from your answers.
