Hairdressers and other personal carers — working environment guide

The web page contains a guideline for hairdressers issued by the Danish Working Environment Authority. It covers risk assessment, chemicals, skin stress, ergonomics and the physical working environment, as well as young, pregnant and nursing workers. The typical products used in hairdressing are listed and classified regarding their impact on human health, and preventive measures are also given. This guideline is part of an overall series that includes several brochures and is placed on a web page for hairdressers that forms part of a guidance section for different sectors. 

The guide targets, in particular, managers and employees dealing with or responsible for occupational safety and health. However, it can be used by anyone who is interested in the working environment.
