3WORK HEALTH SAFETY AND WELLBEING
Introduction
Workplaces and occupational environments, irrespective of the nature of work, are often
associated with a range of physical, chemical, psychological and ergonomic hazards which are
likely to impact the physiological and psychological safety of workers (Adewumi-Gunn et al.
2018)). According to the Workplace Safety and Health Act legislated by the Ministry of
Manpower (MOM) – the peak occupational body directing national standards of workers’ safety
in Singapore – employers, managers or administrators regulating occupational environments are
obliged to ensure the welfare and safety of their staff (Singapore Statutes Online 2020). Like all
workplaces and occupations, the hair and beauty industry are not devoid of multiple hazards,
mainly: slips, falls, burns, inadequate body postures, exposure to chemicals and physiological
concerns like dermatitis. It is thus imperative that organizations associated with the hair and
beauty industry, such as the Streakers Hair and Beauty Salon, implement relevant measures of
hazard control, for the purpose of minimizing the risk of hazards across staff (Quiros-Alcala et
al. 2019).
Thus, with regards to the above, the aim of the following paper is to identify and
extrapolate on the key chemical and plant hazards which have been identified with regards to the
‘Streakers Hair and Beauty Salon’ in Singapore. This paper will first expound upon the crucial
plant and chemical hazards relevant to the hair and beauty industry followed by an evaluation of
the three most relevant hazards which are likely to impact the occupational health and safety of
the staff employed in the concerned hair and beauty salon. Lastly, this paper will also focus upon
the measures of control which relevant to mitigate the key hazards and risks identified in
Streakers Hair and Beauty Salon.

Discussion
Hazard Identification
The following plant and chemical hazards are likely to be prevalent in Streakers Hair and
Beauty Salon:
Plant Hazards
Burns: The hair and beauty industry requires employees to operate electrical equipment
such as hair dryers, curlers and straighteners which emit heat. Prolonged usage of such
equipment are likely to increase risk of acquiring burns and long term burn trauma across the
staff who are employed in an organization like the Streakers Hair and Beauty Salon, which
specializes in the hair dressing and beauty industry (Archibong et al. 2018).
Cuts and Bruises: One of the major functions of the hair and beauty industry is to dress
and style the hair of its clients. For the same, staff are required to frequently use a range of sharp
objects like razors, blades, scissors and knives. Thus, it is likely that the staff employed in the
Streakers Hair and Beauty Salon are at an increased risk of acquiring plant injuries of the
physical type such as: cuts, bruises, scratches and punctures (Aglan and Mansour 2018).
Ergonomic Hazards like Body Posture: One of the most significant and prevalent
hazards which workers employed in the hair and beauty salon are likely to encounter is
ergonomic hazards related to incorrect body postures. Workers are likely to spend a majority of
the occupational hours by standing for a long time and excessive levels of bending while
performing functions like washing the hair of a client or incorrect chair height adjustments of
seated clients. If not controlled, the workers of the Streakers Hair and Beauty Salon are likely to
encounter physiological and ergonomic health issues such as: bruised feet, aches in the lower

back, high levels of fatigue, strains, pain and swelling across joints and even varicose veins
(Norlie et al. 2017).
Atopic Dermatitis: Also known as eczema, this is a prevalent type of skin condition
which is characterized by symptoms like itchiness, burning sensations and redness on the skin.
Employees in the hair and beauty industry are often required to use a range of cleansing agents
on clients such as shampoos and frequent washing with water. While these products are not
considered to be hazardous as per safety data sheets, they are likely to increase the risk of skin
conditions like dermatitis in staff who already have dry skin and are working in the Streakers
Hair and Beauty Salon (Milich, Shendell and Graber 2017).
Falls, slips and trips: Staff employed in the hair and beauty industry are likely to work
with equipment which are wired extensively and may cause clutter and crowding in the work
space is not organized adequately. Additionally, staff may also be required to work in wet floors
during cleaning or due to spillages and leakages of liquid products on the floor. Though such
hazards are controllable and are do not occur frequently in case of establishment of adequate
control measures, absence of frequent risk assessment and mitigation are likely to increase the
risk of the slips, falls and trips across the staff, which in turn can cause a range of injuries to the
staff working in Streakers Hair and Beauty Salon (Abia et al. 2016).
Chemical Hazards
Conditioners and Shampoos: As evidenced extensively by WorkSafe Victoria (2017),
staff recruited in the hair and beauty section are required to use a variety of chemical products on
a clients as a part of daily activities. One of these include the usage of shampoos and conditions
for the purpose of completing common activities like cleansing and hair washing of clients.
While these products have not been evidenced within safety data sheets to be hazardous in

nature, they have often been associated to cause allergic dermal reactions as well as sensations of
burning, itchiness and redness in the skin. These symptoms are likely to aggravate in employees
who have extremely dry or sensitive skin. Considering that conditioning and shampooing are
functions which are regularly required to be performed, such chemical hazards are likely to cause
the above health concerns in staff working in the Streakers Hair and Beauty Salon (New Zealand
2020).
Hair sprays: These products are filled with chemicals like hydrogen peroxide, ammonia,
hydrocarbons, acetates, ethyl alcohol and butane. Prolonged exposure to these products, are
likely to increase the risk of contact with the skin, sensitive areas like the eyes and inhalation. If
such practices are not controlled, then they are likely to the risk of a number of physiological
health concerns across the employees working in the Streakers Hair and Beauty Salon. These
include: skin dryness, burning sensation in the eyes and skin, coughing and respiratory distresses,
allergic reactions as well as chronic skin conditions like eczema (Ngatu 2018).
Nail Polishes: Nail polishes, though not frequently required in the industry comprise of a
range of harmful chemicals like alchohol, hydrocarbons and acetone. These are likely to cause
eye irritation and respiratory distress if inhaled frequently or brought in contact with the eyes
(Yusof et al. 2019).
Highest risk Hazards and Hazard Risk Assessment
For the purpose of ensuring the health and safety of the workers employed in the
Streakers Hair and Beauty Salon, a hazard risk assessment for plant and chemical hazards was
conducted. The relevant protocols of risk management developed by Archer et al., (2018) and
Work Safety Health Council (WSHC 2015) of Singapore were used and tabulated (Appendix 1 –
9). Plant and chemical hazards like burns and cuts as well as usage of hair sprays and nail

polishes were marked as ‘medium’ risk with a likelihood of ‘frequent’ since these are not
performed frequently and are associated with minor injuries for staff. Hazards associated with
posture and shampoos have been rated as ‘high’ and ‘almost certain’ since they are performed
regularly and frequently and are likely to cause long term dermal and orthopedic complications
in the staff working the salon.
Control Measures and Risk Re-assessment
According to the Code of Practice on Work Safety and Health Risk Management
established by the WSHC (2015), hazards which have been classified to be ‘high risk’ are
deemed to be unacceptable to work health and safety and are thus recommended to be reduced to
the ‘medium’ risk level. Additionally, as per the WSHC (2015), risk with hazards identified to be
at ‘medium’ risk must be reduced to the principle of ‘as low as reasonably practicable’
(ALARP). With respect to the same, a range of control measures have been implemented for the
purpose of mitigating the identified hazards (Appendix 9). According to the ‘Management of
Hazardous Substances in the Hairdressing and Beauty Industry’ established by WorkSafe
Victoria (2017), relevant control measures for chemical hazard mitigation include: usage of
personal protective equipment, establishment of product safety warning labels and safety data
sheets and implementation of organizational safety protocols pertaining to first aid measures,
incident reporting systems, timely health checkups and replacement of chemicals after a buffer
period of 6 months or as per manufacturers’ instructions. According to the New Zealand
Government’s (2020) ‘Worksafe’ for the hairdressing industry, physical and plant related
hazards can be controlled via: giving adequate staff training, performance of quality audits of
equipment, implementation of adjustable workstations and usage of protective equipment like

gloves. These have been enlisted a part of the Risk Assessment Table for the Streakers Hair ad
Beauty Salon (Appendix 9).
ALARP Principle
As per the Code of Practice on Work Safety and Health Risk Management established by
the WSHC (2015), all hazards which are highlighted in ‘yellow’ as per the risk assessment
matrix are evidenced to conform to the principle of ‘as low as reasonably practicable’ (ALARP).
From the given Risk Assessment Table for Streakers Hair and Beauty Salon, it can be observed
that the risks associated with all hazards have been reduced to the ALARP principle and have
been marked as ‘Medium’ risk. Such improvements in risk ratings imply the implementation of
effective and safe measures of hazard control within the organization (Appendix 9).
However, it must be noted that control measures associated with timely health
assessments, quality audits, equipment servicing and training given to staff on equipment usage
are likely to be associated with higher expenditures and operational costs. Thus, as a part of
recommendations given to the managers of Streakers Hair and Beauty Salon, there is a need to
implement these controls gradually based on the existing financial resources of the organization.
It is recommended that the managers implement a changed budget and financial allocation of
resources and services for cost effective implementation of suggested hazard control measures
(Moda and King 2019).
Purchasing Policy
In addition to establishment of adequate measures of hazard control, implementation of
pre and post purchasing policy will assist the managers to reduce and mitigate the plant and
chemical hazards which employees of the Streakers Hair and Beauty Salon are at risk of
Document Page
9WORK HEALTH SAFETY AND WELLBEING
acquiring. The purpose of a pre-purchase policy is to assist organizations in procuring equipment
which are compliant to work health and safety standards of the organization and present the least
and practical measurement of risk to its staff. A post-purchase policy ensures that the equipment
continues to adhere to safety standards as well as timely and adequate mitigation in case of any
adverse situations (Ssempebwa et al. 2019).
Pre-purchasing Policy
Streakers Hair and Beauty Salon are recommended to implement the following pre-
purchasing policy with regards to procurement of heat emitting equipment like dryers,
straighteners and curlers as well as chemical products (Ssempebwa et al. 2019):
1. Each equipment and chemical product prior to its procurement, are to checked via the
organization’s risk assessment standards
2. Each equipment and chemical product must be evaluated for the identification of any
plant or physical hazards to the organization’s employees.
3. Each and chemical product is to be screened for the risk and nature of adverse incidences
for the purpose of future references.
4. Each equipment and product is to be stored with proper warning signs and symbols and
relevant safety data sheets and manufacturers’ instructions of operation.
Post-purchasing Policy
Streakers Hair and Beauty Salon are recommended to implement the following post-
purchasing policy with regards to procurement of heat emitting equipment like dryers,
straighteners and curlers as well as chemical products (Ssempebwa et al. 2019).

1. All equipment must be monitored and serviced on a monthly basis and must be replaced
after a period of 6 to 12 months.
2. Each staff must be trained with respect to adequate operation of equipment and chemicals
used in the organization.
3. Strict workplace health and safety protocols must established instructing all staff
members to operate chemicals and equipment based on manufacturers’ instructions,
adherence to personal protective equipment and information present in product labels and
safety data sheets.
Conclusion
This paper thus provides an elaborate and extensive discussion on the key plant and
chemical hazards which are likely to occur in an organization engaged in the hair and beauty
industry like the ‘Streakers Hair and Beauty Salon’. From the aforementioned paper, it is evident
that the employees recruited in the Streakers Hair and Beauty Salon are at risk of being inflicted
with a range of chemical and plant hazards, like: trips, falls, slips, burns, bruises, dermatitis as
well as exposure to range of harmful chemicals. Thus, it is imperative for the manager of the
organization to implement a range of evaluation measures pertaining to risk assessments. To
mitigate the risk of injuries due to hazards, it is also imperative for the organization to invest in a
range of control measures. Lastly to conclude, in addition to implementation of range of control
measures, the managers of the Streakers Hair and Beauty Salon are recommended to reformulate
existing purchasing policies for the purpose of procuring safety equipment which can ensure
long term maintenance of safe and fulfilling environments for its workers.
