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.
