Grand Cayman, 2 February, 2023– The Department of Environmental Health (DEH) will be conducting a series of Cosmetology Hygiene and Safety training sessions for employees in the industry, as District Sanitation Officers strengthen their surveillance & enforcement programmes across the Cayman Islands.
“Business owners and personnel in the cosmetology industry are reminded to comply with the guidelines provided by the department. One way of doing this is by attending these training sessions aimed at educating, informing and updating operators of safe hygiene practices and disposal of waste to prevent the transmission of infections associated with these practices among other topics”, explained DEH Director, Richard Simms.
