What is considered a ‘health hazard’ in a salon?

The choice of unsanitary practices, exposed electrical outlets, and improper chemical storage as a health hazard in a salon is correct because these factors directly relate to the safety and well-being of clients and staff. Unsanitary practices can lead to the spread of infections or illnesses, putting everyone's health at risk. Exposed electrical outlets present a danger of electrical shock, particularly in environments that involve water, such as salons. Improper chemical storage can lead to hazardous spills, accidents, or exposure to toxic substances, further compromising health and safety.

In contrast, inadequate lighting and ventilation, overcrowded waiting areas, and high noise levels may affect comfort and convenience but do not pose immediate health risks. While these conditions can create a less pleasant salon environment, they do not fundamentally compromise health in the same way that unsanitary conditions or unsafe practices do. Therefore, identifying unsanitary practices and unsafe conditions as health hazards is critical in maintaining a safe salon environment.
