Why should you never place a heated blanket under bed linens during treatments?

It is uncomfortable for the client
It may burn the linens
It is a fire hazard
It causes overheating

The correct answer is: It is a fire hazard

Placing a heated blanket under bed linens during treatments poses significant safety risks, primarily because it can create a fire hazard. When a heated blanket is left in an enclosed space between layers of fabric, it can trap heat and potentially lead to overheating. If the temperature reaches a critical point, it may ignite the linens or other materials nearby, creating a serious safety concern. Additionally, the nature of the treatment environment often involves products and tools that could exacerbate any fire risk. Proper protocols mandate that heated items be monitored closely and used in a way that allows for good airflow and heat dissipation to avoid such dangers. Therefore, ensuring that heated blankets are used safely and effectively, without being placed under linens, is essential for client safety and compliance with industry standards.
