- Clothing should not be too loose; it may be caught in equipment and cause harm, or a baggy sleeve can dangle on the client.
- Jewellery can scratch the client or may get their hair or clothes tangled up in it. You could catch your tools on rings or chains. Water can collect under rings and may contribute to dermatitis.
- Shoes need to be enclosed to protect your feet from dropping tools. If you accidentally drop a pair of scissors the shoes will help to protect you. If the heal is too high, it may contribute to fatigue or back pain.
