Conclusion This course provides the most current information on the definitions, transmission routes, testing, treatment and prevention of HIV/AIDs, tuberculosis, and the five types of hepatitis viral infections. There are many other communicable diseases, but these are the widest spread throughout the U.S. Cosmetologists must take precautions to ensure their health and safety and that of their coworkers and clients. This occupation requires close client contact and the use of sharp tools that must be handled appropriately to avoid accidental exposure to disease agents. As the world is faced with the pandemic of the novel coronavirus, it is even more important to address safety precautions and follow CDC guidelines that are addressed throughout this course. National and state regulators, professional boards, and local leaders will be revising many policies and procedures to allow cosmetology settings to re-open safely while maintaining social distance.
If the profession is to grow and remain profitable in the future, safety and disease prevention must be a top priority. This will involve reorganization of the work setting and the development of new policies and procedures that must be followed by all staff and clients. Please continue to review state and local regulations and follow professional updates that will inform professionals about new safety policies and procedures to address disease prevention. As we enter a new phase of cosmetology and client service following the pandemic, the application of safety and hygiene practices, as outlined in this course, must become common practice to protect everyone who enters the cosmetology setting. It is up to everyone to be vigilant and proactive to stop the transmission of all communicable diseases and ensure a safe and positive work environment.
