Preventing Transmission
A mechanical process of using soap and water to remove all visible dirt, debris, and many disease-causing germs
Cleaning
Transmission of pathogens through touching, kissing, coughing, sneezing, and talking
Direct Transmission
What are the two primary types of BACTERIA
Nonpathogenic and pathogenic
Bonus (+100): Name which is harmful and which is harmless?
What are the 2 types of materials used to disinfect
Nonporous and porous
Bonus (+100): What do these mean?
What is the order of cleaning/disinfecting your tools?
Cleaning, disinfecting, and sterilizing
The methods used to eliminate or reduce the transmission of infectious organisms from one individual to another
Infection Control
A form of transmission where small, dry particles hang in the air, allowing for pathogens to spread farther for a longer amount of time
Airborne Transmission
Colonies of microorganisms that adhere to environmental surfaces, as well as the human body
Biofilms
A disinfectant made for disinfection of nonporous surfaces; they are used in noncritical (noninvasive) environments and are effective against most pathogens of concern
Quats
Bonus (+100): What does Quats stand for?
The presence of potentially infectious materials on an item's surface, or visible debris or residues such as dust, hair, and skin
Contamination
The process that destroys ALL microbial life, including spores, generally with the use of an autoclave
Sterilizing
Transmission of blood or body fluids through contact with an intermediate contaminated object such as a razor, extractor, nipper, or a surface
Indirect Transmission
Single-celled organisms that grow in irregular masses and include molds, mildews, and yeasts; they can produce contagious diseases such as ringworm
Fungi
Chemical germicides formulated for use on the skin; registered and regulated by the FDA
Antiseptics
showing no signs or symptoms of infection
Asymptomatic
A chemical process for use with nonporous items that use specific products to destroy harmful organisms including bacteria, viruses, and fungi on implements and surfaces.
Disinfecting
A form of transmission when a pathogen living in our respiratory tract is expelled through coughing, sneezing, or talking. It is characterized as large particles that do not stay suspended in the air for long.
Respiratory Droplets
Organisms that grow, feed, and shelter on or inside another organism (host), while contributing nothing to the survival of that organism
Parasites
Bonus (+100): List 2 primary types commonly encountered in the salon/barbershop
Often referred to as phenolics, proven to kill bacteria that cause tuberculosis, in addition to other pathogens destroyed through the use of hospital disinfectants
Tuberculocidal disinfectants
Contact with non-intact (broken) skin, blood, body fluid, or other potentially infectious materials, which is the result of the performance of an employee's duties
Exposure incident
Federal agency that regulates and enforces safety and health standards to protect employees in the work place
OSHA
Bonus (+100): What does OSHA stand for?
Disinfectants used in the salon, spa, or babershop must be capable of destroying ___, ____, ____, ____
Bacteria, viruses, mold, and fungi
Bonus (+100): How would these be written on a cleaning product?
What are the 5 types of potentially harmful organisms
Bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, and biofilms
common household bleach; an effective disinfectant for the salon, spa, and barbershop; it has 5.25% of this ingredient
Sodium Hypochlorite
guidelines published by the CDC that require the employer and employee to assume that any human blood and body fluids are potentially infectious
Standard Precautions
Bonus (+100): What is the 16-category standard format document required by OSHA to list potential hazards of products?
