How to report workplace incidents correctly
Incidents can occur in any salon environment, ranging from minor cuts and slips to more serious injuries. Proper incident reporting protects staff, clients, and the business itself. Incident reporting involves documenting workplace accidents, client injuries, near misses, and dangerous occurrences. In certain circumstances, incidents must also be reported under RIDDOR (Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 2013). Failure to report correctly can result in enforcement action and fines. Accurate reporting also supports insurance claims and demonstrates responsible business management.
