HEALTH AND SAFETY POLICY / CODE OF CONDUCT Persons that can not be painted are to include: anyone under 2 years (I will however put a stamp on their arm or hand), persons who do not want to be painted or can not express a wish to be painted, anyone with an apparent skin complaint e.g Eczema, Chicken Pox, Conjunctivitis, Cuts, Bruises and anyone who seems to be unwell. (This is not an exhaustive list) and if you are unsure please inform me so that I can discuss it further. (It is up to the Client or Guardian to inform Faces By Usha of anything that may stop you or the person you are responsible for being painted as I take no responsibility for losses or reactions at anytime). Without prejudice I reserve the right not to paint any persons I feel should not be painted. Please present me with a clean area to paint as I need to check that the area is safe to be painted on. Water and brushes are cleaned regularly and I use 1 sponge per child. Sponges are washed at a minimum of 60 degrees before I re-use them. I hold a Blue Card I have Public Liability Covered via ‘Duck for Cover’. I will help small children into the chair and let the more capable climb up themselves (we may need to support the child when doing this) The Parent or Guardian must stay with the child at all times! I do not and will not take responsibility for any loss or accidents at anytime. Some clients may react to our products, I follow a strict hygiene practice and do not take responsibility at anytime for reactions caused. The paints can also cause staining to property and again I take no responsibility, in the event of staining to the skin use a little soap and water. I will always do my best to be sensitive to the child / Clients needs and maintain a professional attitude at all times. As well as a safe working practice I am also aware of hazards and will try to keep these to a minimum e.g gazebo strings, tent pegs, chair and any other equipment owned by Faces By Usha. Please do not touch any of our products at anytime and keep children away from sticking fingers in paint pots. (This is to ensure that our Health and Hygiene Standards are kept to a Maximum). I reserve the right NOT to paint Offensive Symbols or Subjects. For Private Parties please ensure that you mention on the party invitation that there will be a face painter present, and to let you know if they do not want their child’s face painted. Removing of face paints can be done at home with clean water and a flannel. (If slight staining occurs then a little soap may help) if soap does not help the natural oils in the body should take it away within 24- 48hours.
