4. Stay safe when using essential oils
Essential oils are volatile substances and so certain safety precautions must be followed when using them to ensure a safe and effective treatment with no adverse effects upon the client.
Always work in a well-ventilated room.
Air the treatment room in between clients.
Allow yourself a decent break between clients.
Always take a fully detailed consultation from the client prior to the first treatment.
If your client has a medical condition that gives you cause for concern refer them to their GP before carrying out a treatment.

5. Always keep individual essential oils in a sealed container or box.
Never take essential oils internally.
Never apply undiluted essential oils to the skin.
Keep essential oils away from eyes.
Always use sensible proportions of essential oil in a blend.
Avoid prolonged use of the same essential oil. Ensure the use of a variety of oils over a course of treatments.
Carry out a patch test if your client has sensitive skin or suffers from allergies.
Never use essential oils that you are not familiar with.
Always keep a full and accurate record of the essential oils used in a blend with dilutions for each client.

6. Handling and Storage of Essential Oils
Essential oils are volatile substances so great care must be taken when handling and storing essential oils.
The following guidelines must be followed:
Store in dark amber glass bottles with tight lids to prevent evaporation.
Store in normal to cool temperatures out of direct sunlight.
Keep away from naked flames and extreme temperatures as essential oils are highly flammable.
Ensure you are careful when handling the essential oil bottles so that your skin does not come into contact with the oil and you then risk transferring that oil from your hands to more sensitive areas (nose, face and neck).

7. Store all essential oils out of reach of children.
Wash hands thoroughly in between clients to remove as much of the oil as possible.
Do not use essential oils if your skin is cracked and sore.
Monitor stock control and rotation.
Ensure there are methods of dealing with breakages/spillages in the treatment environment.
Record of product data sheets.
Be aware of the shelf life of essences, fixed oils, other media and blended products.
Be aware of current legislative controls and guidelines for the use of aromatherapy products and the implications for client safety.
Use and store treatment equipment appropriately.
