Ohio Cosmetology: Safety, Sanitation, and Infection Control (Satisfies Infection Control and Safety Requirement) 3 CE Hours
Overview The Ohio Legislature and the Ohio Cosmetology and Barber Board (OCBB) set forth the laws, rules, and regulations that govern the cosmetology profession in the Ohio Administrative Code . This course is specific to 2022 revisions that address cosmetology safety, sanitation, and infection control for the protection of staff and clients. This three-hour course is divided into three chapters covering the OAC rules, pathogens, disease transmission, prevention, and procedures to prevent injury in the cosmetology workplace and meets the requirements for continuing education in cosmetology in the areas of safety, sanitation, infection control, and injury prevention. Introduction The field of cosmetology contains many subspecialties, delivered in a variety of settings, each with specific procedures for safety and sanitation. They share a common bond of close contact with clients and the potential for safety and infection hazards unfortunately cannot be denied. All cosmetology sub-professions also share the fundamental requirement to protect the health and safety of the client, staff, vendors, and anyone accessing the workplace. To address this critical issue of public safety, the Ohio State Legislature and Cosmetology and Barber Board has recently updated the laws and rules that govern cosmetology safety and sanitation. The federal governmental agencies of OHSA, CDC, FDA, and EPA also have jurisdiction different aspects of workplace and public safety to ensure the rights and welfare of all.
Sources of state and federal information will be current and included as originally written. In addition to Ohio law, guidelines, and regulations from the United States Department of Labor Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are included. Only sections that apply to cosmetology safety and sanitation practices are included and therefore alpha and numerical listings may not be in consecutive order. This course includes key concepts and cannot cover every detail so documents should be reviewed in their entirety for further study of safety, sanitation, and infection control. The first step to ensuring the health and safety of staff and clients is to identify and understand potential safety and sanitation hazards that may lead to severe, acute, and chronic health and disability consequences. The cosmetology professional has the responsibility not only to identify hazards but the obligation to prevent, and in some cases, report them to the appropriate authorities if safety and sanitation violations are not addressed to meet state and federal standards. Finally, OSHA mandates that workers have the right to a safe and healthy workplace and provides support for employees to address their concerns to.
Chapter 1: Administrative Rules and Standards
Learning objectives After completing this chapter, the learner will be able to: Define the Ohio Administrative Code rules for safety, sanitation, and infection control in cosmetology. Identify the safety and sanitation hazards in cosmetology. Explain the standards for safe and effective practice.

Human Trafficking: Ohio’s Tragic Reality
Unfortunately, there have been a high number of human trafficking victims found in the beauty industry in spa, massage, and nail salons. These businesses have been used as fronts for trafficking of victims who have been lured from around the world and transported throughout the United States. In 2019, Ohio was fifth in the nation for states with the highest number of trafficking victims according to a report release in 2021 by Governor Mike Devine through the Ohio Department of Public Safety (ODPS,2021). The report culminates the work of the Governors task force on human trafficking which includes the Cosmetology and Barber Board as follows: Cosmetology & Barber Board Inspectors (ODPS, 2021) to strengthen their knowledge of exploitation within the health, beauty, and massage industry. In 2019, the Board also worked with the Ohio Department of Public Safety to create a human trafficking training video for its licensees to view as part of the license renewal process. Rule 4713-1-14: Trafficking Education, above, is one of the outcomes of the taskforce goal to expand training, identification, and assistance for trafficking victims. Another outcome of the task force was the following fact sheet entitled Human Trafficking: Ohio’s Tragic Reality , as part of the Polaris Project to stop human trafficking funded through the Ohio Office of Criminal Justice services: In 2020, the Ohio State Cosmetology and Barber Board hosted a human trafficking training for 44 of its Board and staff members, including inspectors, a branch of cosmetology, or a boutique service does so in a safe and effective manner, adhering to the standards set for safety, sanitation and disinfection in the board's laws and rules and practicing cosmetology in a manner that does not jeopardize the public's health or welfare, and (b) Adherence to acceptable and prevailing standards of cosmetology practice.

All workers have the right under the law to have a safe workplace and OSHA is the agency that oversees and regulates workplace safety. Worker’s rights include the ability to make complaints if they identify hazards in the workplace. OSHA provides the following information and resource to workers.
Worker’s Rights (OSHA, 2017) Employees have the right to a safe workplace. Employers have the responsibility to provide working conditions that do not put workers at risk of serious harm. You have the right to receive training and information on job hazards and methods to prevent harm. Workers can call OSHA to ask questions, receive information or file a complaint requesting an OSHA inspection if they believe there is a serious hazard. It’s illegal for employers to retaliate against you for raising safety concerns or calling OSHA. To ask questions or get more information, go to www.osha.gov or call 1- 800-321-OSHA (6742). It’s confidential. We are here to help.

the owner sets the rates paid by customers; and you use the owner's tools and equipment, you may be more likely to be considered an employee. Employers must provide protection against workplace hazards for their employees; independent contractors are responsible for their own occupational health and safety protection. Employees also have rights to a minimum wage, workers' compensation, and other benefits. Independent contractors do not. Just because a salon owner tells you that you are an independent contractor, it does not mean that you are one and, just because an owner gives you an IRS form 1099 instead of a W-2 does not mean that you are an independent contractor. Salons sometimes misclassify the employment status of their workers to bypass taking protective safety and health measures and also to deny benefits. That is why it is important for you to know the difference between what constitutes an employee and an independent contractor. If you need help, you can contact OSHA at 1-800-321-OSHA (6742).
Sometimes in the cosmetology industry there is confusion about OHSA safety protections extended to workers because of their status as independent contractors as opposed to employees. OSHA provides the following information and resource to clarify this issue: ● What is the difference between an Employee and an Independent Contractor for purposes of the Occupational Safety and Health Act? (OSHA,2021) It doesn’t matter how an individual is labeled by the salon owner. Instead, courts and agencies will look at a list of factors to determine whether you are an employee or independent contractor. For example, if you: rent a station at a salon; purchase your own supplies and tools; have your own customers and set your own schedule and appointments; set your own rate and are paid by customers directly; and have your own business license, you may be more likely to be considered an independent contractor. However, if the owner sets the work schedule; you are paid by the hour; the owner or receptionist makes the appointments for all workers; you do not rent the space;
● Why does it matter?
THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (EPA)
lists chemicals, brand names, and companies that manufacture and distribute these products (EPA,2022). These lists are important to document the efficacy of chemicals and staff and clients have the right to view this information about chemical used for cleaning, disinfection and sterilization. It is important to select the appropriate product because not all EPA registered disinfectants meet the OSHA standards for eradication of bloodborne pathogens.
The EPA provides several resources that help protect employees and clients in cosmetology services. One important resource is the registration of disinfectants that can be used to destroy a variety of microorganisms found in the cosmetology workplace. The products will not be EPA registered unless their efficacy data has been confirmed and the label information has been verified. These chemicals will receive an EPA registration number so they can be easily identified. The EPA registered chemicals are organized on lists titled with alphabet letters A-P. For example, list A is used for sterilization,
THE CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION
This agency is part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and provides a wealth of information to ensure health equity in the workplace as well as home and community. General guidance and information specific to hair and nail salons can be found on their websites at CDC. gov. Topics include infection
control, ventilation, hazardous chemicals, disease transmission, disinfecting the workplace, personal hygiene, protective equipment, and universal and standard precautions to protect workers. These CDC topics and precautions will be covered in Chapters Two and Three.

contaminants, processing, packaging, or shipping and handling. Under the FD&C Act, a cosmetic is adulterated if: ○ "It bears or contains any poisonous or deleterious substance which may render it injurious to users under the conditions of use prescribed in the labeling thereof, or under conditions of use as are customary and usual" (with an exception made for coal-tar hair dyes) ○ "It consists in whole or in part of any filthy, putrid, or decomposed substance.” ○ "It has been prepared, packed, or held under insanitary conditions whereby it may have become contaminated with filth, or whereby it may have been rendered injurious to health”. ○ "It’s container is composed, in whole or in part, of any poisonous or deleterious substance which may render the contents injurious to health"; or except for coal-tar hair dyes, "it is, or it bears or contains, a color additive which is unsafe within the meaning of section 721(a)" of the FD&C Act. “Misbranding” refers to violations involving improperly labeled or deceptively packaged products. Under the FD&C Act, a cosmetic is misbranded if: ● "Its labeling is false or misleading in any particular.”
The FDA does approval and regulation for many hair and nail products that fall under the heading of cosmetics. The following information is summarized from the FDA website and provides examples of the relationship between the federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) and cosmetology services (FDA,2022a): The law does not require cosmetic products and ingredients, other than color additives, to have FDA approval before they go on the market, but there are laws and regulations that apply to cosmetics on the market in interstate commerce. The FD&C Act defines cosmetics by their intended use, as "articles intended to be rubbed, poured, sprinkled, or sprayed on, introduced into, or otherwise applied to the human body... for cleansing, beautifying, promoting attractiveness, or altering the appearance" (FD&C Act, sec. 201(i)). Among the products included in this definition are skin moisturizers, perfumes, lipsticks, fingernail polishes, eye, and facial makeup, cleansing shampoos, permanent waves, hair colors, and deodorants, as well as any substance intended for use as a component of a cosmetic product. The FD&C Act prohibits the marketing of adulterated or misbranded cosmetics in interstate commerce.
“Adulteration” refers to violations involving product composition--whether they result from ingredients,
