What practice can minimize the risk of chemical spills in the salon?

Storing chemicals in closed containers is the best practice to minimize the risk of chemical spills in a salon. When chemicals are kept in tightly sealed containers, the likelihood of leaks and accidental spills is significantly reduced. This practice also protects the products from contamination and helps maintain their efficacy.

By ensuring that containers are securely closed, salon professionals can prevent the escape of fumes and accidental contact with clients or staff, promoting a safer working environment. Additionally, it minimizes the exposure of volatile substances to air, which can lead to chemical degradation over time.

In contrast, mixing all products together can not only increase the risk of spills but may also result in dangerous chemical reactions. Using large open containers increases the chance of spills occurring during handling or transport. Leaving containers open for ventilation not only increases the risk of spills but also exposes salon workers and clients to potentially harmful vapors, making the environment unsafe.
