BPSOS is dedicated to educating nail salon workers and owners on the safety and health hazards in their workplace. Over 160,000 Vietnamese, 95% of which are women, work in approximately 30,000 nail salons across the country.
Nail salon workers are exposed to a wide range of toxic chemicals, including carcinogens and reproductive toxins. Furthermore, nail salon workers also face risk for musculoskeletal injuries caused by ergonomic hazards.
