Health and Safety Documents for Self-Employed Teeth Whitening Technicians

Self-employed teeth whitening technicians are subject to the same health and safety requirements as any other business. The fact that you work alone or from a small treatment room does not change your obligations under COSHH regulations and the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. || The documents you need include a COSHH assessment for the whitening products you use, a risk assessment covering gel handling and client contact, a health and safety policy, a fire safety risk assessment, and a skin dermatitis prevention policy given the regular chemical contact involved in the work. || A client consultation and allergy record system is also important in a treatment where client reactions can occur, and where proper screening is important to ensure clients are suitable candidates for whitening treatments.

Building a client base and delivering good treatments understandably takes priority when starting out. The compliance paperwork tends to get pushed to one side until something prompts the need - an insurer query, a professional body membership renewal, or a request from a venue or employer wanting to see your documentation. || Having everything in place from the start avoids that scramble and gives you a professional foundation. CompliantDocs produces all eight documents in minutes based on your answers.
