answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/02/2016 answer text <p>The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 require businesses offering beauty treatments to ensure that any risks to their client’s health from exposure to hazardous substances including micro-organisms, are prevented or effectively controlled. The duty extends to preventing or controlling client’s exposure to the risk of contracting fungal infections. The regulations do not prescribe what specific control measures are necessary. These will be based on the type of treatment carried out and the risks of cross-infection.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Where sterilisation is required, autoclaves are the most effective and efficient means to do so, and should be used especially for packaged items and items which have hollow parts or cavities. However alternative methods such as steam sterilisers and disinfectants can be used for simple items such as tweezers.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Altmann question first answered 22/02/2016 14:56:36 answering member 4533 label Biography information for Baroness Altmann

uin	HL6010
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/02/2016 answer text <p>There has been no change in approach to the use of primary and secondary legislation since the General Election. Each piece of legislation is approached within the context of the policy and the existing legislative framework. There is no evidence of an increase in the number of statutory instruments　laid　since 2010　or since the General Election. Briefing produced by the House of Commons Library (CBP 7438) shows that　the　number of statutory instruments laid before the House of Commons peaked　at 1,885　in the 2005-06 session, compared to 1,378 last session and 540 so far this session.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Freud question first answered 22/02/2016 13:28:43 answering member 3893 label Biography information for Lord Freud
