JuneMay 2018 FIFA WORLD CUP 2018 Tattoo Parlours Urged to Join Star Rating Scheme Tattoo parlours and other studios and beauty salons that use needles and blades in Mansfield are being urged to sign up to a county-wide scheme that rates their standards of hygiene and safety. Local authorities across Nottinghamshire, including Mansfield District Council, which are responsible for licensing businesses that offer tattoos, body piercing and permanent and semi- permanent make-up treatments, are working together on the Nottinghamshire Hygiene Accreditation Scheme. The aim of the scheme is to improve hygiene and safety standards associated with tattooing and cosmetic piercings, along with any permanent or semi-permanent treatments and procedures that use needles or micro-blades, and is part of a wider strategy by Mansfield District Council to make the district a safer place to live, work and visit and improve the wellbeing of its citizens. The five star rating system operates in a similar way to the national food hygiene scheme for restaurants and shops selling food products. The first scheme of its kind was launched in Wales in 2014 and has been a huge success. Businesses that offer the highest rates of hygiene and safety are awarded five stars signifying excellent standards. The lowest Pinders Leon Robson and Peter Herniman from Pinders Opticians rating is zero stars which indicates that urgent improvements are needed. The rating scheme has been developed using Chartered Institute of Environmental Health guidance on best practice for the industry, and from feedback provided during consultations with local businesses. Pinders Announces The scheme costs £120 to join and for the initial inspection, and £60 for a re-inspection and re-rating. Businesses that achieve two to five stars are reviewed after 12 months but those that achieve zero or one star are inspected again after six months. The kind of areas the accreditation covers include: Intergalactic Mission • The state and fabric of the premises • Cleanliness procedures employed by the business. • Cleanliness of staff • The safe use, storage and disposal of needles, inks and equipment. for Local Charity 'Reach' • Sterilisation and cross-contamination prevention measures • Consent forms and record keeping of clients.
