What should you do if you notice damaged equipment while examining it?

The best action to take when noticing damaged equipment is to immediately report it and cease use. This approach prioritizes safety and ensures that any hazards associated with the damaged equipment are addressed promptly. Continuing to use damaged equipment can lead to further deterioration, accidents, or harm to both the technician and clients. Reporting the issue allows for a proper assessment and repair or replacement of the equipment by qualified individuals, thereby maintaining a safe working environment. It is critical in a professional setting, such as a nail salon, to ensure that all tools and equipment are in optimal condition to provide safe services.
