Introduction:

Before a freshmen works on the clinic floor, we must have a full understanding with
the spread of bacteria and disease to perform infection control procedures with the
proper disinfectant. Cosmetologists work very closely with the public, therefore the
student will complete sanitation and disinfection procedures on various salon tools
and services; ensuring the safety of the client, coworkers, and themselves to
prevent the spread of disease. When knowing that diseases can spread from one
person to another and having the full understanding if the infection control
procedures, their daily diligent will be in compliance with State Law.
Body:
Key points and terms for Infection Control:

Federal Agencies
o Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
o Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)
o Environmental Protection Agencies (EPA)
Hospital disinfectants
Tuberculocidal disinfectants
State Regulatory Agencies
Laws and Rules
o Laws (written by federal and state)
Scope of Practice (what a licensee may do)
Statutes (as known as law)
Infection Control
o Four types
Bacteria
Virus
Fungi
Parasites
o Clean
o Disinfection
Bactericidal
Virucidal
fungicidal

Infection control: methods used to eliminate or reduces transmission of

infectious organisms
Infection: invasion of body tissues by disease causing pathogens
Infectious disease: caused by pathogenic organisms that enter the body; may
be spread from one person to another
Cleaning vs disinfection (cleaning reduces number of disease causing germs
on a surface/disinfection destroys most harmful organisms on a surface)
2 types of bacteria (pathogenic: harmful or disease causing/nonpathogenic:
harmless or useful)
Contagious/communicable diseases: spread from one person to another
Common ways communicable diseases are spread: dirty hands, contaminated
implements; infected nails, cuts, or open sores; pus, mouth, or nose
discharges; sharing of cups, phones, and towels.
Summary:

As cosmetologists it is our responsibility to ensure the safety of all of our clients, our
coworkers, and of course ourselves. By being knowledgeable of the types of
contagious diseases that exist, and how to practice appropriate safety & sanitary
procedures at all times we will be able to offer all of our clients a safe and relaxing
salon service each and every time they visit. We will now move out to the clinic to
disinfect kits, following the procedure we discussed yesterday.

Why do cosmetologist need to know about infection control?

Can bacteria exist everywhere?
Do you think there is good bacteria?
Who can tell me a difference between cleaning and disinfecting?
Using the information we just discussed, what conclusion would you come to about
being a successful cosmetologist is the salon.
