Client checklist for Strike
Training evidence
Ask how the provider keeps surface cleaning and disinfectant use up to date. A professional should be able to explain what they are qualified to do and where their limits are.
Records and consent
Responsible studios keep clear sharps and clinical-waste records so that client decisions, products, procedures and aftercare guidance are not left to memory.
Risk conversation
Before the procedure, the provider should discuss bloodborne pathogen exposure in plain language and give the client time to ask questions.
Local regulations and BAQA standards
Rules in Strike may be set by a local council, health department, state, province or national authority. The exact system can vary, but clients can always ask how the studio follows hand-washing and premises requirements and how those duties are documented.
BAQA does not replace local law. It gives the public and the industry a standards framework that sits beside local regulation, helping clients understand what good practice should feel like during consultation, treatment and aftercare.
