The term clean is defined |
Mechanical process (scrubbing) using soap and water or detergent invisible debris that interferes with this infection. Cleaning is what cosmetologist and aestheticians are required to do before disinfecting. |
|
|
The term sanitize is defined |
A chemical process for reducing the number of disease/causing germs on clean surfaces to a safe level. |

|
|
Regulation |
Many different federal state agencies regulate the practice of aesthetics. Federal agencies set up guidelines for manufacturing sell and use of equipment and chemical ingredients along with safety in the workplace. State agencies regulate licensing enforcement and conduct when working in a salon spa or medical facility. |
|
|
Federal agencies |
Occupational safety and health administration 0SHA. Was created as part of the US Department of labor to regulate and in for safety and health standards to protect employees in the workplace. The Material safety data sheet MSDS is the result of HCS hazard communication standards which was created in the 1970s. |
|
|
Material safety data sheet MSDS |
Federal and state laws require manufacturers supply and material safety data sheets MSDS for all products sold. |
|
|
Environmental protection agency EPA |
The environmental protection agency registers all types of disinfectant sold and used in the United States disinfectants are chemical products that destroy all bacteria fungi and viruses (but not spores) on surfaces the two types that are used in salon spa medical offices and Medical- spas are hospital disinfectant and Tuberculocidal disinfectants. |
|
|

|
Principles of infection |
Being an aesthetician is fun and rewarding but it also has great responsibility. One careless action could cause injury or infection, the invasion of the body tissue by disease causing pathogens. If your actions result in an injury or infection you could lose your license and ruin the salon or spa’s reputation. |
|
|
Infection control |
Are methods used to eliminate or reduce the transmission of infectious organisms. Aestheticians must understand and remember the following four types of potentially harmful organisms; bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites. |
|
|
Bacteria |
Are one celled microorganisms that have both plant and animal characteristics. A microorganism is any organism of microscopic or submicroscopic size. some bacteria are harmful and some are harmless bacteria can exist almost anywhere: on the skin, in water, in the air, decayed matter, on environmental Surfaces, in the body secretions, on clothing, or under the free edge of nails. Bacteria are so small they can only be seen with a microscope. |
|
|
Types of bacteria |
There are thousands of different kinds of bacteria that fall into two primary types: pathogenic and non-pathogenic. |
|
|
Non-pathogenic bacteria |
In other words they are harmless organisms that may perform useful functions. They are safe to come in contact with since they do not cause disease or harm. For example, non-pathogenic bacteria are used to make yogurt, cheese, and some medicines. In the human body, non-pathogenic bacteria help the body break down food and protect against infection. They also stimulate the immune system. |
|
|
Pathogenic bacteria |
Are harmful microorganisms that can cause disease or infection and humans when they invade the body. Salons, spas, medical facilities, and schools must maintain strict standards for cleaning and disinfecting at all times to prevent the spread of Pathogenic microorganisms. |

Are pus-forming bacteria arranged in curved lines resembling a string of beads. They cause infections such as strep throat and blood poisoning. |
|
|

|
|
Bacilli |
Are short rod shaped bacteria. They are the most common bacteria and produce disease such as tetanus (lockjaw), Typhoid fever, tuberculosis, and Diphtheria. |
|
|

Are spiral or corkscrew shaped bacteria. They are subdivided into subgroups, such as treponema pallium which causes syphilis, A sexually transmitted disease, And borrelia burgdorferi, which causes Lyme disease. |

The EPA approved 7. Be readily available for multiple manufacturers 8. Be environmentally friendly can be disposed down the salon drain 9.I have no odor 10. Be non-corrosive |

Disinfectant tips |
Use only on pre-cleaned, hard, non-porous surfaces. Always wear gloves and safety glasses when handling disinfectant solution. Always dilute product according to the instructions on the product label An item must remain submerged in the disinfectant for 10 minutes unless the product label specifies differently To disinfect large surfaces such as table tops, carefully apply the disinfectant onto the pre-clean surface and allow it to remain wet for 10 minutes, unless the product label specifies differently If the product label states complete immersion the entire implement must be completely immersed in a solution Change the disinfectant according to the instructions on the label if the liquid is not changed as instructed it will no longer be effective and may begin to promote the growth of microbes For spas, proper disinfectant of a whirlpool pedicure spa requires that the disinfecting solution circulate for 10 minutes, unless the product label specifies otherwise |

Disinfectant safety |
Keep an MSDS on hand for disinfectant you use. Wear gloves and safety glasses when mixing disinfectant. Avoid skin and eye contact. Add disinfectant to water then dilute (rather than adding water to disinfectant) this prevents foaming and can result in an incorrect mixing ratio Use tongs gloves or draining basket to remove implements from disinfectant Keep disinfectant out of reach of children Carefully measure and use disinfectant products according to label instructions Follow the manufactures instructions for mixing, using, and disposing of disinfectants Carefully follow the manufactures directions for when to replace the disinfectant solution in order to ensure the healthiest conditions for you and your client. Replace the disinfectant solution every day more often if the solution becomes soiled or contaminated Never let squats finals bleach or any other disinfectant come in contact with your skin. If you do get disinfect your on your skin. Immediately wash the area with liquid soap and warm water. Then rinse the area and dry the area thoroughly All disinfectant should be labeled |

|
|
Standard precautions ( SP ) |
We use standard precautions at our salon. Standard precautions were introduced by the CDC in 1996 to replace universal precautions. Workers must assume that all blood and body fluids are potential source of infection, regardless of the perceived risk. The precautions are used for all clients whenever exposure to blood-borne pathogen’s is likely. Standard precautions took information from both universal precautions and BSI the importance Of all body fluids, secretions, and excretions was recognized as a factor in the spread of disease. |
|
|
Exposure incident |
Stop the service Put on gloves to protect yourself from contact with the clients blood. Stop the bleeding by applying pressure to the area with a clean cotton ball or piece of gauze When bleeding has stopped, clean the injured area with an antiseptic wipes. Every salon, spa, and medical facility must have a first aid kit. Bandage cut with an adhesive bandage Clean and disinfect your workstation or styling station, using an EPA registered disinfectant design or cleaning blood and body fluids Discard all single use contaminated objects such as wipes or cotton balls by double bagging Before removing your gloves, make sure all multi use tools and implements that have come into contact with blood or other body fluids are thoroughly clean and completely immersed in the EPA registered disinfectant solution design for cleaning blood and body fluids or 10% bleach solution for at least 10 minutes or the time recommended by manufacturers of this product Removing your gloves and seal them in a double bag along with the contaminated items for disposal thoroughly wash your hands and clean under the free edge of your nails with soap and water before returning to service Recommended that the client see if physician if any signs of redness swelling pain or irritation develop |
