Possibility of opening also Sundays and Mondays, separate workstations of at least two meters, waiting areas for customers outside the store. These are some of the guidelines for hairdressers and beauticians indicated in the Inail and ISS technical document approved yesterday by the Scientific Technical Committee in view of the reopening of the activities scheduled for May 18. General rules, says INAIL, which concern a sector considered to be “medium-high” risk that involves around 140,000 companies and 260,000 employees.
“To guarantee accessibility to services after a long period of closure and taking into account the measures that will be adopted, which will probably reduce the number of treatments simultaneously – the document reads – it is appropriate to foresee the possibility of allowing exceptions from the days closing and allow the opening hours of the premises to be extended “.
To rationalize internal spaces and allow social distancing, experts also point out that it will be necessary “to encourage the creation of waiting areas” for clients “also outside the facilities, allowing whenever possible the occupation of public lands in derogation” . The Inail then indicates a complete series of “general organizational measures”: they range from the mandatory reserve (phase in which the types of treatment required must be “predetermined”) to the separation barriers between the various areas, from the provision of a minimum distance of at least two meters between stations to remove “magazines and any other objects that may be mixed use in the room”. The temperature should also be taken for the clients, giving them an “individual bag / disposable bag to collect their personal belongings”, to privilege payments with ATMs and contactless systems. Obviously, for both customers and employees, there is an obligation to wear a mask (for workers, also nitrile gloves and face shields) and disposable aprons and towels should be worn as well as disinfect workstations and tools afterwards of each treatment and prepare dispensers with disinfecting solutions.
Experts also establish social relationships between the customer and the store owner or employee. It is necessary, they write, “to privilege the conversation with the client through the mirror and to carry out the procedures while remaining behind the client in all possible cases.”
A chapter of the white paper is dedicated to estheticians, a sector where “biological agent risk prevention measures” are already in use. But this is not enough: for facial treatments that require the use of steam, experts explain, alternative operations will have to be considered and, in any case, they can only be performed in separate rooms. Saunas, steam rooms, and hot tubs should also be kept closed, and all surfaces in the beauty booth should be cleaned and disinfected at every customer change. Workers are expected to wear Ffp2 and ffp3 and non-surgical masks, in addition to protective masks or visors. (HANDLE).
