Salon Risk Assessment Form

A salon risk assessment template — record the hazards in your salon and how you control them, to keep clients and staff safe.

Description

A documented risk assessment is a legal requirement for a salon with staff, and it’s genuinely useful for keeping everyone safe — not just a box to tick. This form makes it straightforward. It records the salon name, who carried out the assessment and the date, then a simple table of hazards: what the hazard is, who’s at risk, and the control measure that manages it. Working through it that way surfaces the everyday risks a busy salon can stop seeing — wet floors, chemicals and product storage, hot tools, trailing cables, manual handling. Writing each one down with its control shows you’ve thought it through, and a notes field and a review date keep it a living document rather than a one-off. A signature confirms the assessment, giving you a record for insurers and inspectors. Complete it for your salon and review it regularly and after any change. It’s free, brand-styled, and turns a legal duty into a clear, usable safety record.

Template FAQs

Common questions about the Salon Risk Assessment Form — what it captures, when to use it, and how to make it your own.

Is a risk assessment legally required for a salon?

For a salon with staff, yes — a documented risk assessment is a legal requirement. Beyond compliance, it genuinely helps keep clients and staff safe by surfacing and controlling everyday hazards.

What hazards should a salon assess?

The everyday ones that are easy to stop noticing — wet floors, chemicals and product storage, hot tools, trailing cables, manual handling and more. The table captures each with who’s at risk and how it’s controlled.

How does the form structure the assessment?

As a table of hazard, who’s at risk, and control measure, plus the salon name, assessor and date. That’s the standard shape of a risk assessment, made quick to complete and keep.

Why have a review date?

Because a risk assessment should be a living document, reviewed regularly and after any change — new equipment, a refit, a new treatment. The review date keeps it current rather than a one-off.

Who should complete it?

The salon owner or manager, or whoever is responsible for health and safety. A signature confirms the assessment and makes it a record for insurers and inspectors.

Is the form free?

Yes. It’s free with a Fun Forms account, fully brandable, and ready to complete on a tablet and review whenever needed.
