Self-control log for hygiene businesses

A free template you can start using right away – a runnable app with a traceable history, not a binder of paper.

Open as app – free

Hygiene businesses (tattoo, piercing, foot care, acupuncture) are expected to run self-control routines, and an inspector wants to see they were actually carried out.

This template turns that into a small system: each routine point – hand hygiene, sterilization, surface disinfection, waste – is recorded with its interval, a responsible person and a result, and deviations get an action and a next-due date.

This is what the system looks like – filled with examples

Control point	Interval	Responsible	Last performed	Result	Status
Hand hygiene	Daily	Mia K.	2026-06-18	Approved	Performed
Instrument & sterilization routine	Daily	Mia K.	2026-06-18	Approved	Performed
Surface disinfection	Weekly	Jon R.	2026-06-15	Deviation	Deviation
Risk assessment	Yearly	Jon R.	2026-01-20	Approved	Rectified

Why a system beats Word and Excel here

Traceable history per control point – what, who, interval, when and the result.
Deviations stay visible until they're rectified – nothing slips through.
Overdue checks surface before they're forgotten, thanks to the next-due date.
The whole team sees the same status – not a file emailed around in different versions.

FAQ

What is this and what is it not?

It's a self-control log: traceable documentation that your routine checks were carried out and with what result. It's not a complete self-control programme and it doesn't decide which routines or intervals apply to your business – that stays your own judgement based on your risks.

Isn't a binder enough?

A binder shows the routine but not that the checks were actually done. This system logs each check with date, responsible person and result, keeps deviations visible until they're rectified and gives you a history you can show on the spot.

Does it cost anything to start?

No. You can open the template as an app and start recording checks right away, no sign-up. You log in only when you want to save and invite colleagues.
