Skin Penetration Premises Assessment Report

This public health inspection checklist supports assessments of skin penetration premises such as tattoo, piercing, and beauty treatment businesses. It covers hand washing facilities, PPE, sharps safety and disposal, waste and linen management, cleaning and disinfection, and sterilization of appliances and instruments (including autoclaving and dry heat). Facility standards include surfaces, separation of prep and treatment areas, designated hand wash stations, and documented cleaning schedules. Skin preparation, solution validity, and treatment-specific requirements (waxing, tattooing, piercing, sterile jewellery, disposable razors) are included. The template also addresses staff competency, prohibitions (smoking, animals), record keeping, and follow-up actions for noncompliance.
