Whose responsibility is it to ensure all infection control requirements are followed?

It is essential for the responsibility of ensuring all infection control requirements are followed to be shared among all licensees, the salon owner, and the Designated Licensed Salon Manager (DLSM). Each party plays a crucial role in maintaining safe and hygienic practices within the salon environment.

The salon owner has an overarching responsibility to establish policies and protocols that comply with state regulations regarding infection control. The DLSM, who is typically designated to oversee daily operations and compliance, must ensure that these policies are implemented properly and that all staff are trained in infection control standards.

Furthermore, all licensed employees are responsible for adhering to these infection control requirements during their work. This includes following sanitation procedures, using sterilized tools, and maintaining a clean workspace to protect the health and safety of clients and fellow workers.

Overall, effective infection control is a team effort that relies on shared responsibility among all key stakeholders in the salon. This collaborative approach helps to prevent the spread of infections and promotes a safe environment for both clients and professionals.
