[4a] Explain your responsibilities under relevant health and safety legislation, standards and guidance.
To take reasonable care not to put other people - fellow employees and members of the
public - at risk by what you do or don't do in the course of your work. to co-operate with
your employer, making sure you get proper training and you understand and follow the
company's health and safety policies.
[4b] Explain the importance of not discriminating against clients with illnesses and disabilities and why
It places a duty on employers and service providers to make reasonable adjustments for
people with disabilities. These help them to overcome barriers they may face in gaining
and remaining in employment and in accessing and using goods and services.
[4c] State the age at which an individual is classed as a minor and how this differs nationally
The term 'minor' is mostly used in civil or criminal codes, describing all children below 18
years. Fourteen Member States define the term 'minor' in their civil code, with each
referring to children aged from 0–18 years. In some Member States, the criminal code
refers to an age range of 14–18 years.
[4d] Explain why it is important, when treating minors under 16 years of age, to have parental or
guardian consent
The law states that they are not yet able to take responsibility for themselves regarding
treatment so as the therapist it is your responsibility. Having a parent or guardian present
will protect the minor and safeguard the therapist against any suggestion of malpractice,
wrongdoing or abuse.
[4e] Explain why minors should not be given treatments without informed and signed parental or
guardian consent
If a parent refuses to give consent to a particular treatment, this decision can be
overruled by the courts if treatment is thought to be in the best interests of the child. By
law, healthcare professionals only need 1 person with parental responsibility to give
consent for them to provide treatment.
[4f] Explain the current legal requirements and guidance relating to age restrictions for this treatment
There is no legal minimum age that a child must be to experience a treatment carried out
by a professional.Since there is no legally mandated minimum age for receiving beauty
treatments, it falls to the therapist to ensure that they adhere to various government
guidelines and acts aimed at protecting the welfare and safety of children.
[4g] Explain manufacturers’ and organisational requirements for waste disposal
Businesses are legally required to separate recyclable rubbish from general waste. Much
of the rubbish your hair salon produces can be recycled. This includes rinsed out
shampoo and conditioner bottles, carboard packaging, and the magazines your clients
have got bored of flicking through.
[4h] Explain the importance of the correct storage of client records in relation to the data protection act
Client records are used to gather and document information about the client's
background, presenting issues, and mental health history. This all helps the counselor
make an accurate assessment and diagnosis, which is essential for developing an
effective treatment plan.
[4i] Explain how to complete the client records used in your organisation and the importance of, and
reasons for, keeping records of treatments and obtaining client signatures
● Full name of client.
● Contact information.
● Date of consultation.
● Details of lifestyle and medical history where these are relevant to the therapy you
give.
● Brief description of the therapy or treatment given.
● Unusual reactions to the therapy or treatment given.
Systematic record-keeping provides evidence of the degree of care taken by counsellors
in their work, which may be useful if a client makes a complaint against a counsellor to a
professional body or begins legal action against a counsellor. It also protects against
differences in memory between client and counsellor.
[4j] Explain your responsibilities and reasons for maintaining personal hygiene, protection and
appearance according to accepted industry and organisational requirements
Overall, maintaining personal hygiene, protection, and appearance is essential for our
health, professionalism, safety, compliance with industry standards, and creating a
positive work environment. By taking these responsibilities seriously, we can contribute
to our own well-being and the success of our organizations.
[4k] Explain the organisation’s service time charges for self tanning and why it is important to
complete the service in the given time
Self-tanning treatment, also known as sunless tanning, involves the use of products on
the skin to achieve a tanned look without exposure to the sun's ultraviolet rays. The
environmental conditions suitable for self-tanning treatments primarily involve an indoors
and clean environment.However, it's always a good idea to follow product directions,
apply self-tan in a ventilated area, and avoid ingesting any lotion or getting it in your
eyes. Another tip? Use a self-tanning product (such as our Sunny Honey Bali Bronzing
Foam) that's been formulated with natural DHA.
[4l] Explain the organisation’s and manufacturers’ requirements for treatment area, equipment
maintenance and equipment cleaning regimes
It should have adequate space for the equipment and other material. It should have
adequate space to keep aside used and reprocessing equipment.An equipment
maintenance policy is a document that defines the standards, procedures, and
responsibilities for keeping your equipment in good condition and preventing
breakdowns. It can help you optimize your equipment performance, reduce downtime,
save costs, and comply with safety and environmental regulations.
[5a] Explain how to set up the work area and equipment for self tanning services
A spray tan system is the main appliance used for spray tanning clients. This spray tan
equipment mainly comprises of a main body which constitutes a turbine; it has a mist
applicator; and a flexible hose which releases the spray tanning solution in the form of a
mist.Maintain your responsibilities for health and safety throughout the service. 2.

[5b] Explain the necessary environmental conditions for self tanning services (including lighting,
heating, ventilation, sound and general comfort) and why these are important
Self-tanning treatment, also known as sunless tanning, involves the use of products on
the skin to achieve a tanned look without exposure to the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays. The
environmental conditions suitable for self-tanning treatments primarily involve an indoors
and clean environment
[5c] Explain the type of personal protective equipment that should be worn for self tanning services
and why
An apron can also be worn to protect the work wear uniform during this treatment.
Disposable underwear should be offered to the client as an alternative to the client's own
underwear or to wear over the client's own underwear to protect against product stains.
[5d] Explain the importance and reasons for disinfecting hands and how to do this effectively
Thorough handwashing with soap and water can protect you and others from a range of
infectious diseases. Liquid soap is better than bar soap, especially at work. Washing
hands with soap and water is better than using alcohol-based hand sanitisers.
[5e] Compare methods of disinfecting and sterilising equipment
While sterilization can be performed by steam, hot air or a chemical process, disinfection
is primarily performed chemically. Besides bacteria, disinfection also kills some viruses.
However, sterilization kills all microorganisms and even stubborn spores, which is why it
is considered much more aggressive.
[5f] Explain how to prepare and position the client for self tanning services
It is important to correctly position the client and person applying to ensure evenly
distributed tan: When spray tanning not too close to ensure even mist and not excessive
product applied.
[5g] Explain how to avoid potential discomfort and injury to yourself during work
Personal protective equipment (PPE) is really important. It protects you and your patient.
This includes wearing of masks, aprons, gloves, suitable shoes (which cover your toes
and provide heel support) and other items such as lead aprons if you are working in the
radiology department.
[5h] Explain the reasons for maintaining client modesty, privacy and comfort during the treatment
To make sure the client relax as well as feel secure in the work area environment;
however, if the modesty, privacy, and comfort are not maintained, the client will not enjoy
the treatment.
[5i] Explain how to minimise and dispose of waste treatments, including hazardous waste
For clinical waste, look at items such as wax strips, pads, cotton wool buds, and others
used for treatments, like electrolysis and microdermabrasion. These all have to be kept
separate and in individual bins. No throwing needles and cotton buds together.
[5j] Explain why it is important to maintain standards of hygiene and the principles of avoiding cross-
Infection
Microbes spread easily in health care due to physical contact between health care
professionals, patients and relatives. Maintaining a good personal hygiene significantly
reduces the risk of cross-contamination and transmission of contagious infections.
[5k] Explain why it is important to check the client’s well-Being at regular intervals
To understand their needs for future treatment . Additionally , clients ' questions can be
utilized in adjusting the treatment process as well as the environment of treatment to suit
the majority of the client needs .
[6a] Explain how to use effective consultation techniques when communicating with clients from
different cultural and religious backgrounds, ages, disabilities and genders for this treatment
Practice active listening. Active listening is a very effective strategy for improving cross
cultural communication. Restate or summarise what the other person has said, to ensure
that you have understood them correctly, and ask frequent questions.Make sure they are
comfortable, provide them with a chair that has back support. Use open questions
beginning with the words, who, what, why, how, when, which and where? Closed
questions may be used when a simple yes or no is required and probing questions when
you need more information than the client is providing.
[6b] Explain the importance of questioning clients to establish any contra-Indications to self tanning
services
If you hadn't asked your client during the consultation process as to whether they had
any medical conditions and you proceeded with the treatment then this could result in an
adverse reaction being caused along with distress to your client and again the possibility
of your client making a claim against you.
[6c] Explain why it is important to record client responses to questioning
Client records are used to gather and document information about the client's
background, presenting issues, and mental health history. This all helps the counselor
make an accurate assessment and diagnosis, which is essential for developing an
effective treatment plan.
[6d] Explain the legal significance of client questioning and recording the client’s responses
Systematic record-keeping provides evidence of the degree of care taken by counsellors
in their work, which may be useful if a client makes a complaint against a counsellor to a
professional body or begins legal action against a counsellor. It also protects against
differences in memory between client and counsellor.
[6e] Explain how to give effective advice and recommendations to clients
● 1 Understand the context. Before you start crafting your recommendations, you
need to understand the context of the client's situation, objectives, and
expectations. ...
● 2 Use a logical framework. ...
● 3 Focus on the impact. ...
● 4 Be concise and clear. ...
● 5 Seek feedback and improve. ...
● 6 Here's what else to consider.
[6f] Explain the reasons why it is important to encourage clients with suspected contra-Indications to
seek medical advice
Although, if you have insurance in place that will provide you with cover should a client
make a claim against you, you do not want to have a claim if you don't need to. Checking
for contra indications prior to the treatment can easily prevent the possibility of a claim
being made against you.A contra-indication is a factor which prevents the client from
being suitable to have a treatment. This could be a medical condition. Contra-indications
can be permanent, temporary, or area specific. While having some contra-indications
may mean you aren't suitable to have a certain treatment at all, others may be able to be
worked around. If you have anything listed below or are unsure always ask your GP
(General Practitioner) prior to booking your appointment.
[6g] Explain the importance of and reasons for not naming specific contra-Indications when
encouraging clients to seek medical advice
Naming referable contraindications in medicine is unadvisable due to ethical and legal
reasons. It risks bias, prejudice and can violate patient privacy rights.Contraindications
may be important when considering various treatment options, some of which may be
eliminated from contention if they are not appropriate for a given patient
[6h] Ex]l[plain why it is important to maintain client’s modesty and privacy
Observing dignity and privacy is essential for establishing an effective relationship
between the healthcare professionals and patients. It also is critical for maintaining
patient's serenity. In contrast, many harmful consequences would ensue if the patients'
dignity is not observed.
[6i] Evaluate the types of alternative tanning services which could be recommended in the event of
contra-Indications
Respiratory problems. A known allergy to DHA. Open cuts/wounds. Severe skin
conditions i.e. eczema, psoriasis or dermatitis.Opt for sunless self-tanners or spray tans.
These are available in many forms, including lotions, sprays, and creams. The Skin
Cancer Foundation advocates that no tan is a safe tan, and that regardless of whether
women decide to go with their own glow or use sunless tanning methods, they avoid UV
tanning.

[8c] Explain how to clean, maintain and reassemble spray tanning equipment and associated
accessories
Light daily maintenance covers wiping down the spray gun, removing leftover solution
and rinsing out mist applicators. When cleaning, check your machine for signs of normal
wear and tear. Replacing old parts early can prevent bigger, much more expensive
repairs down the road.
[8d] Summarise the type of problems that can occur with spray tanning equipment and how to correct
them
Without an air seal, the air flow will be diminished. With diminished air flow, the spray tan
solution will not spray properly, potentially resulting in all sorts of problems like speckling,
dripping, spotting, uneven fading, and it can even cause the tan to not develop at all!
[8e] Explain the meaning of psi in relation to self tanning service
PSI. This is an abbreviation of pounds per square inch relating to the air pressure coming
from the compressor through the spray gun onto the skin.
[8g] Explain the importance of using equipment with a pressure gauge
If the system pressure is not controlled based on the circuit component requirements, the
outcome will be unpredictable and unreliable. The main benefit of a pressure gauge is,
that it can be installed anywhere in the system circuit to measure the pressure at that
point.
[9b] Explain why it is important to protect the hair and eyes during selftanning treatments
To ensure complete protection, the FDA suggests wearing protective eyewear, nose
filters, earplugs, lip balm, and undergarments.
Hair is also made of amino acid-containing proteins. So the DHA in the self-tanner
undergoes the same chemical reaction on your hair as on your face. If your hair were
colored (either naturally or dyed), you likely wouldn't see any staining. But gray hair is
absent of any color, so even a small stain is noticeable.
[9e] Explain the importance of carrying out a skin sensitivity test prior to self tanning
It's also extremely important to conduct a patch test before applying self-tan to the rest of
your body to ensure that you don't have a serious allergy or reaction. Apply a small
amount to your skin and leave it overnight to see how your skin reacts to it.
[9f] Explain the effects of self tanning products on the skin
Most "self-tan" products contain moisturising ingredients which keep the skin healthy and
supple. They do not cause the skin to age, or to become inflamed and red as they do not
involve exposure to UV rays. However, not all sunless tanning products contain UV
filters, and so they do not provide any sun protection.
[9i] Explain how and when to use tanning correctors
You apply the foam to the body parts you want the tan removed from, leave it to dry in for
ten minutes, hop into the shower (or just wash it off) and hey presto (hopefully), your skin
is clean and ready for the next application of tan.
