This unit applies to individuals working in a diverse range of beauty industry sectors and business contexts where intense pulsed light and laser equipment is used to provide hair reduction treatments. It applies to practitioners operating independently, under limited supervision of others and within established organisational policies and procedures. It may also apply to non-practitioners such as business owners, franchise owners and front desk staff.The unit reflects the safety guidelines, for a broad range of clinic intense pulsed light and laser dermal applications, expressed in the following Australian and New Zealand safety standards, current at the time of publication:AS/NZS 4173:2018 Safe use of lasers and intense light sources in health careAS/NZS IEC 60825.1:2014 Safety of laser products – Part 1: Equipment classification and requirementsAS/NZS 1336:2014 Eye and face protection – Guidelines.The use of intense pulsed light and laser is subject to legislation, regulation and licensing in some Australian states and territories. | ||
