Chapter 2: Infection Control - Sanitation: Cleaning, Disinfection, Sterilization
Learning objectives After completing this chapter, the learner will be able to: Define cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization. List the OAC rules for infection control. Explain the four main types of pathogens. OAC Chapter 4713-1-01: Definitions (OCBB, 2019) (C) "Active bleach" means an unexpired, environmental protection agency (EPA)-registered product containing at least 5.25 per cent sodium hypochlorite. (E) "Appropriate disinfectant" is defined as follows: (1) For objects that come in contact with intact skin, the appropriate disinfectant would be an EPA-registered, hospital disinfectant or sterilant that is bactericidal, virucidal, and fungicidal and is mixed and used according to the manufacturer’s directions, or active bleach, mixed in a solution of one part bleach to nine parts cool or cold water. If using a bleach solution, the contact time shall be at least ten minutes. (2) For objects that come in contact with bodily fluids or blood, an appropriate disinfectant would include a disinfectant or sterilant, as described in paragraph(E) (1) of this rule, that is also registered as effective against mycobacterium tuberculosis, human HIV‑1, and hepatitis B virus, or active bleach, mixed in solution of one part bleach to nine parts cool or cold water. If using a bleach solution, the contact time shall be at least ten minutes. (U) "Infection control" means to prevent disease and infection by addressing factors related to the spread of infections by cleaning, disinfecting, and sterilization. removes, or kills all forms of microbial life, including transmissible agents such as fungi, bacteria, viruses, spore forms, etc., present on a surface, contained in a fluid or elsewhere, and can be achieved by applying the proper heat or other by using other procedures. Sterilization terminates all possibly dangerous microbial life whereas sanitation and disinfection reduce the numbers of pathogenic organisms to a level a reasonably healthy individual can tolerate. Salon, barber shops, schools, and tanning facilities are not required to sterilize implements or equipment under Ohio law, but salons, barber shops, schools, and tanning facilities may use sterilization as an extra safety/infection control precaution after disinfection. (3) "Cleaning" means the use of soap, detergent, or a chemical cleaner, followed by rinsing with clean water, to remove surface or visible dirt or debris. Rule 4713-11-03: Water Supply; Waste Disposal. Every salon or barber shop facility shall be equipped with an adequate supply of hot and cold running water and proper plumbing. Every facility shall also adhere to the following standards: (A) Safe water supply shall be provided. (B) Sewage and other liquid wastes shall be disposed of in a sanitary manner. (1) "Disinfecting" means the use of an appropriate disinfectant to kill or irreversibly inactivate most bacteria, fungi, and viruses. (2) "Sterilization" means a process that eliminates,
Discuss pathways of disease transmission. Explain universal precautions for infection control. List OSHA guidelines for salon safety.
(C) The storage and collection of solid waste shall be conducted so as to avoid creation of health hazards, rodent harborages, insect breeding areas, and accidents; (D) Solid waste shall be stored in waste containers with solid sides. (E) Solid wastes shall be collected or disposed of at least once each week. Effective February 21, 2019. Rule 4713-15-01: General Infection Control. At all times, except for the period during which a licensee or boutique services registration holder performs a service and prepares the service area for the next patron, the licensed or permitted facility shall be clean and maintained in accordance with the infection control procedures outlined in this chapter. Used and/or unclean equipment and implements shall be stored separate and apart from clean items and must be properly cleaned and disinfected prior to use. Any implements to be used on any patrons shall be properly sanitized and then disinfected. All chemicals used for disinfection shall meet the definition of "appropriate disinfectant" found in rule 4713-1-01 of the Administrative Code and shall be used in accordance with manufacturer's instructions. Rule 4713-15-03: Disinfection of Implements and Spills, Blood, and Body Fluids. (A) Disinfectants are inactivated and ineffective when the implement to be disinfected is visibly contaminated with debris, hair, dirt, oils, particulates, and/or when heavily soiled. Thus, non-porous implements and all salon surfaces shall be thoroughly cleaned prior to disinfection. (1) All used non-porous implements, including all types of brushes with synthetic bristles, shall first be cleaned with warm, soapy/detergent water to remove dirt, debris, and or bodily fluids, and then disinfected by completely immersing in an appropriate disinfectant prior to use on a new patron. A clean, covered container of adequate size shall be used for the wet disinfectant. (2) All salon surfaces shall be thoroughly cleaned and then disinfected with an appropriate disinfectant before beginning a service. Last updated March 22, 2022, at 11:01 AM. Rule 4713-15-02: Methods of Disinfection. (3) Disinfectants shall be prepared fresh at least daily. Disinfectants shall be prepared more than once a day if the solution becomes diluted or soiled. (4) To ensure proper disinfection, non-porous implements and surfaces shall remain in contact with the appropriate disinfectant for the contact time recommended by the manufacturer, or for at least ten minutes if using a bleach solution. (B) Porous implements, including all types of brushes with natural bristles, shall be discarded after each use, and shall not be cleaned or disinfected for reuse.
