Disease
An abnormal condition of all or part of the body, or is sirens or organs/that makes the body incapable of carrying on normal function
Disinfectant

Disinfection
A chemical process that uses specific products to destroy harmful organisms (except bacterial spores) on environmental surfaces
Efficacy
The ability of a product to produce the intended effect; on a disinfectant label/indicates specific pathogens destroyed or disabled when used properly
Exposure incident
Contact with broken skin, blood, body fluid, or other potentially infectious materials, which is the result of the performance of an employee’s duties
Fungi
Single called organisms that grow in irregular masses and include molds,mildews, and yeasts/ they can produce contagious diseases such as ringworm
Fungicidal
Capable of destroying molds and fungi
Hepatitis
A Bloodborne virus that causes disease and can damage the liver
Herpes simplex virus
An inflammation disease of the skin/characterized by small vesicles in clusters
Human immunodeficiency virus
Aka HIV/ virus that causes HIV and acquired immune deficiency (AIDS)
Human Papilloma Virus
Abbreviatied HPV/can infect the bottom of the foot/resembles small black dots/contracted through sexual transmission and by genital warts
Indirect transmission
Transmission of blood or body fluids through contact with an intermediate contaminated obj such as a razor, extractor, nipper, or an environmental surface
Infection
The invasion of body tissues by disease causing pathogens
Infection control
The methods used to eliminate or reduce the transmission of infectious organisms from one individual to another
Infectious
Caused by or capable of being transmitted by infection
Infectious disease
Disease caused by pathogenic (harmful) microorganisms that enter the body/an infectious disease may or may not be spread from one person to another
Inflammation
Condition in which the body reacts to injury irritation or infection characterized by redness,heat,pain,and swelling
Local infection
An infection such as a pimple or abscess that is confined to a particular part of the body and appears as a lesion containing pus
Methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus
Abbreviated MRSA/type of infectious bacteria that is highly resistant to conventional treatments such as antibiotics
Microorganisms
Any organism of microscopic or submicroscopic size
Mildew
Type of fungus that affects plants or grows on inanimate objects but does not cause human infections in the barbershop
Multiuse
Aka reusable/items that can be cleaned, disinfected/used on more than one person, even if the item is accidentally exposed to blood or body fluid
Mycobacterium
Large family of bacteria that is often found in soil and water
Non pathogenic
Harmless microorganisms that may perform useful functions are safe to come in contact with since they do not cause diseases or item
Non porous
An item that is made of a material that has no pores or openings and cannot absorb liquids
Occupational disease
Illness resulting from conditions associated with employment such as prolonged and repeated overexposure to certain products or ingredients
Parasites
Organisms that grow, feed, and shelter on or inside another organism/must have a host to survive
Parasitic disease
Disease caused by parasites such as lice and mites.
Pathogenic
Harmful microorganisms that can cause disease or infections In humans when they invade the body
Pathogenic disease
Produced by organisms; including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites
Pediculosis captis
Infection of the hair and scalp with head lice
Phenolic disinfections
Tuberculocidal disinfectants that are a form of formaldehyde/high pH/can damage the skin and eyes
Porous
Made or constructed of a material that has pores or openings/ more absorbent
Pus
Fluid created by infection
Quaternary ammonium compounds
Aka quats/ designed for disinfection of nonporous surfaces/ effective against most pathogens of concern on the salon,spa, ect.
Ringworm
Fungal infection of the skin that appears in circulation lesions
Sanitation
Aka sanitizing/ chemical process for reducing the number of disease causing germs on clean surfaces to a safe level
Scabies
Contagious skin disease that is caused by the itch mite, which burrows under the skin
Sodium hypochlorite
Common household bleach/ an effective disinfectant for the salon,spa, and barbershop
Standard precautions
Guidelines guided by the CDC that require the employer and employee to assume that any human blood and body fluids are potentially infectious
Staphylococci
Pus forming bacteria that grows in clusters like of bunch of grapes/ causes boils and abscesses
Sterilization
The process that completely destroys all microbial life including spores
Systemic infection
Infection where the pathogen has distributed throughout the body rather than staying in on area or organ
Tinea barbae
Aka barbers itch/infection limited to the bearded area of the face and neck or around the scalp
Tinea captis
Fungal infection of the scalp characterized by red papules,or spots, at the opening of the hair follicles
Tuberculocidal disinfectants
Referred to phenolics/proven to kill the bacterium that causes TB
Tuberculosis
A disease caused by bacteria that are transmitted through coughing or sneezing
Virucidal
Capable of destroying viruses
Virus
Capable of replication only through taking oven the host cell’s reproductive function
Was created as part of the U.S department of labor to regulate and enforce safety and health standards to protect employees in that work place
OSHA
Registers all types of disinfectants sold and used to the United States
Environmental protection agency (EPA)
Salon,spas, and barber shops must maintain strict standards for cleaning and disinfecting at all times to prevent the spread of ??? Microorganisms
Pathogenic
Is characterized by redness,heat,pain,and or swelling
Inflammation
Occurred most frequently among persons with weakened immune systems or who had undergone procedures. Now it’s more towards healthy people.
MRSA
Cause common colds and other respiratory and gastrointestinal infections. Some of the ??? That plague humans are measles,mumps, chickenpox, small pox,rabies,yellow fever,ect
Virus
Spread from one person to person through blood and other bodily fluids such as semen and vaginal secretions
Hiv
Must have a host to survive
Parasites
Products and equipment that do not have the word “disinfectant” on the label are merely cleaners. They do not
Disinfect
Is effective in cleaning the skin/can be drying and irritate the skin
Isopropyl alcohol
Second step of infection control/ eliminates most but not all microorganisms on nonporous surfaces
Disinfection
If the label for not have the word concentration on it the product is already
Mixed
Form of formaldehyde/high pH/ can damage skin and eyes
Phenolic disinfectants
All disinfectants including bleach are inactivated in the presence of many
Substances including oils lotions creams hair and skin
Immerse the entire implement in disinfectant if the product labels calls for
Complete immersion
State rules require that all multiuse tools and implements be cleaned and disinfected before
Every service
