Nail Technician Campaign Promotes Salon Safety, Health and Infection Control
First of all, Oregon, give yourself a hand! Our state has avoided the same kind of bacterial infection outbreaks that have plagued other states in the past several years. And we want to keep it that way.

That's why the Oregon Health Licensing Agency (OHLA) and Board of Cosmetology are launching a new public education campaign, called Safe Salons. To keep those harmful pathogens and other potential hazards at bay, we want practitioners and the public to be educated about salon safety, health and infection control.

Let's all work together to keep the salon experience in Oregon safe and healthy!

Prepare for Your Next Facility Inspection with Self-Inspection Checklist
Inspection
It pays to be prepared! OHLA's Regulatory Operations Division has created a new facility self-inspection checklist to help guide facilities and practitioners in preparing for facility inspections.

Conducting a monthly self-inspection will assist in maintaining compliance with state regulations and help reduce or eliminate the number of violations cited during OHLA inspections.

Ultimately, staying in compliance means you'll be serving your clients better by protecting their health and safety.

OHLA has also created a sample client record form for estheticians and nail technicians, who are required to obtain and keep client records.
