Musculoskeletal disorders are common in the hairdressing sector. To address this, financial support is available to encourage the purchase of suitable hairdressing furniture. These schemes help to improve working conditions whilst enhancing your salon’s high-end image.
Find out how to apply for a grant to help prevent ergonomic risks.
Why are ergonomic risks so prevalent in the hairdressing profession?
The hairdressing profession involves repetitive movements, prolonged static postures and constant standing.
These occupational risk factors contribute to the development of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), particularly affecting the back, shoulders and wrists. In the long term, this pain can lead to sick leave or even forced career changes.
In light of this, ergonomics becomes a priority. By choosing an adjustable hairdressing wash unit or a chair adapted to staff members’ body shapes, you can significantly reduce physical strain.
The head spa, for example, offers a relaxing experience whilst minimising back strain for the hairdresser.
What are the eligibility criteria for the grant?
Hairdressing businesses can receive financial support from the Health Insurance – Occupational Risks scheme, as part of the ‘Prevention of Musculoskeletal Disorders’ grant.
To be eligible, the business must employ between 1 and 49 staff and be up to date with its URSSAF contributions. Applications are made directly via the CARSAT website for your region.
The equipment funded must meet specific ergonomic criteria, as approved by CARSAT. This is particularly the case for the hairdressing wash units listed on the My Salon de Coiffure website. Certain models, such as the PUSH UP + AIR MASSAGE or the HEAD SPA LUXURY, are perfectly suited to this scheme.
This financial support for workplace ergonomics enables hairdressers to invest wisely in equipment whilst complying with the required standards.
The latest model, which is fully extendable, can even be complemented by the HEAD SPA fountain or the VAPO-INN machine.
Which washbasin models are compatible with this grant?
These features enhance client comfort whilst reducing strain on the hairdresser. This combination of client well-being and professional ergonomics is a valuable asset:
- Amounts of financial grants: up to 50% of the equipment’s cost excluding VAT.
- Applications must be submitted before purchasing the equipment.
- The equipment must be retained for a minimum of 3 years.
Please note: certain accessories may be added as options (leg rest cover, black basin, etc.), but generally only the base unit of the furniture is eligible for the workplace ergonomics grant.
At My Salon de Coiffure, all our hairdressing wash units are designed to combine comfort, style and the prevention of workplace hazards.
Manufactured in Italy, they can be customised to suit your preferences and are available at competitive prices all year round, with discounts of up to 50 per cent.
Investing in an ergonomic hairdressing wash unit is not just about comfort, but part of a genuine prevention strategy.
Thanks to financial support schemes, such as the Carsat subsidy for ergonomics, you can equip your salon with high-end furniture whilst reducing occupational risks for your staff. It is both a cost-effective and responsible choice.
This risk prevention scheme enables hairdressing professionals to make a long-term commitment to improving their working conditions, whilst enhancing the appeal of their salon.
Take advantage of the support offered by My Salon de Coiffure and the Carsat grant for hairdressing salons to choose stylish equipment designed to last.
By anticipating ergonomic risks, you improve the quality of life at work whilst enhancing your image in the eyes of your customers. Think ergonomics, think performance!
