A manufacturer must only provide a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) if the product is deemed potentially dangerous by the EPA.



True or False?

False, Manufacturers must provide SDSs for all chemical products Manufactured and sold.

Bacteria can exist almost anywhere.


True or False?

True, Bacteria can exist on skin, in water, in the air, in decayed matter, on environmental surfaces, in body secretions, on clothing, or under the free edge of nails.

Most bacteria are pathogenic or harmful.



True or False?

False, Most bacteria are nonpathogenic, which means that they are harmless and may even perform useful functions.

A systematic infection is an infection where the pathogen has distributed throughout the body or a system of the body rather than staying in one body area or organ.



True or False?

True, A local infection is confined to a particular part of the body while a systemic infection is distributed throughout the body or a system of the body.

Hepatitis is a blood-borne virus.



True or False?

True, Hepatitis is a virus that is carried in the body by the blood or body fluids.

Fungal infections are much more common on the hands than on the feet.



True or False?

False. Fungal infections are much more common on the feet than on the hands.

Natural immunity is immunity that the body develops after overcoming a disease.



True or False?

False. Natural immunity is partly inherited and partly developed through healthy living. The immunity the body develops after overcoming a disease is called acquired immunity.

Disinfectants should never be used as hand cleaners.



True or False?

True. Using disinfectants as hand cleaners can cause skin irritation and allergy.

All salon disinfectants have the same contact time.



True or False?

False. While many disinfectants have a 10-minute contact time, the contact time does vary by product type and manufacturer, so you must always read the product label carefully before use.

You do not have to clean an implement before disinfecting because the disinfectant will both destroy the microorganisms and remove any dirt and residue.



True or False?

False, You must always thoroughly clean your implements of all visible matter and residue because residue will interfere with and contaminate the disinfectant, and prevent proper disinfection.

Disinfectant solutions should never be placed in an unmarked container.



True or False?

True. All containers in the salon, regardless of their content, should be labeled to prevent the accidental misuse of their contents.

Clean, disinfected tools should be stored in a clean, covered container, away from used implements.



True or False?

True. Clean and disinfected tools must be stored in a clean, covered container in order to protect them from contaminants that would make them unsafe to use without additional cleaning and disinfection.

Safety Data Sheet

sanitizing
A chemical process for reducing the number of disease-causing germs on cleaned surfaces to a safe level.
infectious
Caused by or capable of being transmitted by infection.
Disinfectants
Chemical products approved by the EPA designed to destroy most bacteria (excluding spores), fungi, and viruses on surfaces.
Mycobacterium fortuitum
A microscopic germ that normally exists in tap water in small numbers.
Nonporous
An item that is made or constructed of a material that has no pores or openings and cannot absorb liquids.
Hospital disinfectants
Disinfectants that are effective for cleaning blood and body fluids.
disease
An abnormal condition of all or part of the body, or its systems or organs, which makes the body incapable of carrying on normal function.
Infection control
Are the methods used to eliminate or reduce the transmission of infectious organisms.

fungicidal
Capable of destroying fungi.
bactericidal
Capable of destroying bacteria.
disinfection
A chemical process that destroys most, but not necessarily all, harmful organisms on environmental surfaces. The pathogens of concern in the cosmetology industry are effectively destroyed by the disinfection process, which is required in all states.

virucidal
Capable of destroying viruses.
microorganism
Any organism of microscopic or submicroscopic size.

Spirilla
Spiral or corkscrew-shaped bacteria that cause diseases such as syphilis and Lyme disease.
Streptococci
Pus-forming bacteria arranged in curved lines resembling a string of beads. They cause infections such as strep throat and blood poisoning.

Bacteria capable of producing a protective coating that allows them to withstand very harsh environments, and shed the coating when conditions become more favorable.
binary fission
The division of bacteria cells into two new cells called daughter cells.
flagella
Slender, hair-like extensions used by bacilli and spirilla for locomotion (moving about). May also be referred to as cilia.

A condition in which the body reacts to injury, irritation, or infection; characterized by redness, heat, pain, and swelling.
Pus
A fluid created by infection
local infection
