Study Notes

Regulatory Agencies

Regulatory agencies establish guidelines for the manufacturing, sale, and use of equipment and chemical ingredients.
They monitor safety to ensure public health and welfare.

Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)

MSDS stands for 'Material Safety Data Sheet,' which provides essential information compiled by manufacturers.
This data can be accessed by medical facilities for safety and handling purposes.

Organisms of Concern

Important organisms for cosmetologists to understand include bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites.

Bacteria Characteristics

Bacteria are one-celled microorganisms that exhibit characteristics of both plants and animals.

Classifications of Bacteria

Nonpathogenic bacteria are harmless and can perform beneficial roles, such as decomposing organic matter.
Pathogenic bacteria are harmful and can lead to disease or infection.

Benefits of Nonpathogenic Bacteria

Nonpathogenic bacteria contribute to environmental health by decomposing garbage and enhancing soil fertility.

Forms of Pathogenic Bacteria

Cocci are round-shaped bacteria that can exist alone or in groups, such as staphylococci and streptococci.
Bacilli are short, rod-shaped bacteria.
Spirilla are spiral or corkscrew-shaped bacteria.

Contagious Diseases

Contagious diseases are transmittable, often infectious illnesses that can spread from person to person.

HIV in the Salon Context

HIV is considered a low risk in salon settings as it is a blood-borne disease with no documented cases of transmission through salon services.

Cleaning, Disinfecting, and Sterilizing

Cleaning involves removing visible dirt using soap and water or detergent.
Disinfecting entails a chemical process that destroys harmful organisms using specific products.
Sterilizing is the method that completely eradicates all microbial life.

Complete Immersion for Disinfection

Complete immersion requires that the item be fully submerged in the disinfectant solution, covering all surfaces.

Disinfectant Usage Precautions

Essential precautions include wearing gloves and glasses, using diluted products, ensuring items are submerged for 10 minutes, changing disinfectants per client, and using pre-cleaned surfaces.

Disinfectability of Items

An item can be disinfected if it is a multi-use item, such as clippers and brushes.

Porous Items and Disinfection

Only certain porous items can be disinfected; their disinfectability varies.

Changing Disinfectant Solutions

Disinfectant solutions must be changed based on the manufacturer's recommendations to ensure effectiveness.

Universal Precautions

Universal precautions are guidelines issued by OSHA to ensure safety in handling potentially infectious materials.

Exposure Incident Handling

In the event of an exposure incident, stop the service, wear gloves, apply pressure to the injury, clean the area with antiseptic wipes, and properly disinfect the workstation.

Cleaning Non-Electrical and Electrical Tools

Clean non-electrical tools and implements by removing debris, washing or rinsing, immersing in disinfectant for 10 minutes, and thoroughly drying them.

Cleaning Whirlpool Foot Spas

After each client, wear gloves, scrub the spa, rinse it, add disinfectant solution, run jets for 10 minutes, and finally drain and rinse with clean water.
