  • Inspections

    All hairdressers and barbers in Belfast are inspected as part of a risk-based programme undertaken by our staff. If you choose to register your business with us, you'll receive an inspection when you apply.

    This is a general health and safety inspection, in which we would expect to see a health and safety policy and risk assessments focusing on slips and trips, falls from a height, fire and electrical safety, hazardous substances and manual handling.

    Hairdressers are at risk of developing dermatitis and it's important that precautions are in place to prevent this.

  • Queries

    If you have any queries or complaints about the inspection or the registration process, or to find out if a hairdressers is registered, please contact us.
