Habia has launched its National Health and Safety Awards, following the success of its regional health and safety award schemes.
The national awards, organized by Habia with support from the national Hairdressers’ Federation, the Health and Safety executive and local authorities, aim to reward those salons that have gone the extra mile, setting an exemple to others in the industry. Salons were asked to submit a portfolio of their salon and details of their health and safety initiatives, while local authorities had to submit a supporting statement explaning why the salon was nominated. Habia’s health and safety manager, Wendy Nixon, said: “one of the biggest issues affecting salons and spas today is health and safety. This national award will help to demonstrate that googd health and safety is good business practice.”
Entries will be judged in september with the winners announced during the weekend of Salon International.
