What should I do if an inspector visits my shop?
An inspector will visit your business to do an unannounced inspection during normal business hours. Generally, no appointment is made prior to the inspection.
After showing proper identification, the inspector must be allowed to inspect the shop, even if the owner of the shop isn’t there.
How often will an inspector visit?
Depending on the services you offer you will see an inspector once or twice a year for a routine inspection (and possibly a re-inspection). An inspector will also visit any time a complaint against your business has been made.
What will the inspector look for during an inspection?
The inspector will observe your practices and check your premises and equipment to make sure your clients’ health isn’t being put at risk.
The inspector will also check that you meet the requirements of the Infection Prevention and Control Best Practices for Personal Services Settings (PDF 73 pages, 37 KB) set out by the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-term Care (2009).
If you don't adhere to the requirements:
- you may be ordered to stop providing a service
- equipment may be placed on hold from use
- in the City of Brampton, approval for your Personal Aesthetics Procedure license may not be given, and/or
- your shop may be closed.
