Case Study 1: Canberra nail salons on notice from ACT Health for hygiene, vermin
Economic/Financial Dimensions Or Aspects
The various financial aspects involved in the business of the nail salon are the inventory,
sales and purchases, sales tax and operating reporting (Falkner, 2017). In this case the
inventory involves the wax pots, spatulas, blades, drills, etc. which are stored for further
usage. Moreover, the sales and purchases refer to the sale of the salon service provided by the
staff to the customers and its subsequent purchase. The nail salon has to pay their sales tax on
the total service provided. Finally the salon has to prepare a report of their complete functions
and their financial transactions. There are many people, especially women who pay a visit to
the salons regularly for their nail makeover. It is very important for the nail salons to
maintain the required level of health and hygiene standards and keep it clean. In this case the
salon has been accused of violating the health standards by using the equipment which is
stained with blood, shavings of skin lying on the floors, reusing of the old blades, not taking
care of pest control for their salon, etc. Thus the salon’s inventory needs to be reviewed and
their operating report must also be accountable and transparent.
Environmental Dimensions Or Aspects
Environment refers to the surroundings in which a person works and also the people in the
surrounding. The nail salon is serving the people who live in the surrounding society. The
health of the people needs to be secured by the salon staff. They need to also take care of the
cleanliness of their salon environment. The three environmental dimensions are: compliance,
strategic sustainability and ideological sustainability.
