BBP 105 : Don’t Let Health & Safety Become Your Horror Story featuring Gareth Jones

Welcome to Day Five of The Beauty Business Podcast National Spa Week Specials.

We’ve not been afraid to tackle some difficult topics this week, but this one takes it up a level.

Today’s all about Health & Safety; which is essential even before the pandemic came along. But so many managers shy away from it, misunderstand it or try it ignore it and that’s really the worst thing you can do.

To bring Health & Safety in to the light, joining us today is an expert with over thirty years of experience on this topic.

Gareth Jones is the CEO of Clifton Environmental Services. He will help us understand just how health and safety can help your beauty business rather than hinder it . . . and he’s got some great stories to share along the way.

“Health and safety is challenging. It is a complex area. I would say particularly to those coming to management for the first time, tread carefully. Go forward, learn about it, seek help and go above it where possible.” – Gareth Jones
