Cuckoo Admin v2

Main Text

The HSAW Act 1974, which applies nationally makes provision for the regulation of any business and permits Local Authority Officers to make requirements under regulations such as the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations and the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations. These regulations govern the safety of employees and “other” who may be affected, including clients undergoing treatments, which are likely to include risk assessment, local rules and medical protocols for use of laser and IPL systems.
The powers provide far more extensive penalties than were available to the CQC for failure to comply with requirements including improvement notices, prohibition notices and a maximum fine on successful prosecution of up to £20,000!
Non-healthcare providers of laser and IPL treatments are advised to contact their Local Authority to establish how they should proceed in meeting the local requirements.
Note: Healthcare professionals (doctors and nurses) using laser and IPL systems for treatment of disease, disorder or injury remain regulated under the new regulations with the CQC as before.
