Working on your own

[Leely]

Is there a law about people working in a salon on their own?

Can staff do this? Does there have to be a certain amount of staff in the building.

Thank you

Yes staff can work on their own.

I worked at a sunbeds where we worked alone.

There's certainly no law prohibiting it, but this might help:

Can a person be left alone at their place of work?

And this leaflet:

Some companies have a Lone Working Policy - this should cover what to do if you have an accident, there is an incident etc. Because of the increase in people now working alone some councils now run a service whereby you can register by phone that you will be working alone. When you come out of the appointment you re-phone them to let them know you are ok. Hampshire Council run one - if you search Lone Working Policy on here you should find a link I posted a while ago about it.

Thank you, will take a look.
