Which risk category includes hazards from unreliable or damaged tools?

Hazards from unreliable or damaged tools come from the equipment used in the treatment. When tools aren’t in good condition, they can cause harm directly (such as cuts, burns, or accidental injuries) or lead to poor results because they don’t function correctly. This is why it’s classified as Equipment Risks—the risk originates from the tools and devices themselves, including implements, brushes, spatulas, and any electrical equipment. Security risks are about protecting client information and safety from tampering; hygiene risks focus on cleanliness and contamination control; environmental risks cover waste management and the impact on the surroundings.
