Who is responsible for ensuring that all infection control requirements are followed in the salon?

The responsibility for ensuring that all infection control requirements are followed in the salon is shared among all licensees, the salon owner, and the Designated Licensed Salon Manager (DLSM). This comprehensive approach is critical because infection control is a collective obligation that affects the health and safety of both clients and staff. Each individual who works in the salon plays a role, whether through direct client interaction or by maintaining a clean and safe environment.

The salon owner holds certain responsibilities regarding the overall operation and compliance of the salon, while the DLSM has specific duties to oversee and enforce regulations, including infection control protocols. Furthermore, all licensed technicians must adhere to these established protocols as part of their professional duties. This collaborative effort ensures that the salon meets regulatory standards and protects everyone involved.

By understanding that infection control is not the sole responsibility of one person or position within the salon, it becomes clear that it requires teamwork and vigilance from everyone in the establishment.
