Study Notes
MSDS and Regulation
- Availability of Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS's) is essential for safety when handling hazardous materials, critical for legal compliance.
Disinfectants and Salon Safety
- Tuberculocidal disinfectants can damage salon tools and require specific disposal methods.
- Always wear gloves when handling cleaning products.
Infections in Salons
- Mycobacterium fortuitum infections were linked to whirlpool foot spas in salons.
- Salon professionals cannot diagnose or recommend treatments for infections or diseases.
Types of Diseases and Bacteria
- Infectious diseases arise from harmful organisms, not always contagious.
- Bacteria are one-celled organisms displaying both plant and animal characteristics.
- Pathogenic bacteria include Cocci, Staphylococci, Streptococci, Diplococci, Bacilli, Spirilla.
Bacteria Characteristics
- Cocci are spherical, while Streptococci cause strep throat and Diplococci can lead to pneumonia.
- Spirilla are responsible for sexually transmitted diseases like syphilis and Lyme disease.
Bacterial Growth
- Bacteria reproduce by binary fission, dividing once they reach maximum size.
Infection Response
- Presence of pus indicates a bacterial infection, often localized in lesions or abscesses.
- Contagious diseases spread easily between individuals, occurring through direct or indirect transmission.
Microorganisms and Contamination
- Microorganisms can be harmful, producing various toxins affecting human health.
- Contamination refers to infectious materials on surfaces; decontamination involves removing these materials.
Understanding Diseases
- Occupational diseases result from workplace exposures, while systemic diseases affect the entire body through the bloodstream.
- Fungal infections, like Tinea Pedis, are common on feet; severe infections generally originate from compromised systems.
Infection Control
- Sterilization is the most effective infection control method.
- Follow guidelines for cleaning tools, maintaining a logbook for safety records.
Disinfectants
- Use effective disinfectants such as Accelerated Hydrogen Peroxide (AHP), changing every two weeks.
- Avoid fumigants in salons; limit bleach use to prevent damage to surfaces.
Personal Protective Equipment
- Always handle disinfectants carefully, preventing skin contact with harmful substances.
Cleanliness Procedures
- Store clean, disinfected tools in covered containers.
- Regularly disinfect foot spas: run disinfectant for ten minutes, then rinse with clean warm water, followed by proper handling after each use.
Occupational Health Practices
- Universal Precautions require assuming all blood and body fluids are potentially infectious; include proper handwashing and safe handling of sharp objects.
Effective Cleaning Tips
- No additives or tablets can replace the need for manual cleaning and disinfecting.
- Antibacterial soaps may dry skin and are no more effective than regular soap.
Routine Cleanliness
- Maintain a schedule, disinfect tools and equipment weekly at a minimum, particularly foot spas, ensuring safe client interactions.
