What this document covers

Salons store multiple categories of flammable materials: aerosol hairsprays, alcohol-based sanitizers, acetone, chemical solvents, and use high-wattage electrical equipment (dryers, flat irons, curling irons, autoclaves). OSHA requires an Emergency Action Plan for all employers with 10+ employees, and many local fire codes apply to smaller businesses. This plan covers fire prevention, evacuation, and emergency response specific to salon hazards.

Key sections included

Flammable chemical storage requirements
Aerosol can storage limits (NFPA 30B)
Electrical equipment safety protocols
Fire extinguisher placement and training
Evacuation routes and assembly points
Emergency communication procedures
Fire drill schedule
Client evacuation procedures

Frequently asked questions

How many fire extinguishers does my salon need?

OSHA requires one within 50 feet of any Class B (flammable liquid) hazard. Most salons need at least one Class ABC extinguisher per 3,000 sq ft, plus one near chemical storage areas.

How should I store aerosol cans?

NFPA 30B limits storage to 500 lbs per 100 sq ft in Level 2 and 3 aerosol areas. Keep aerosols in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources. Don't store above 120°F.
