HYGIENIC PREVENTIONS NOW AND ALWAYS

Given the presence of the new coronavirus worldwide, it is important to strengthen our hygiene and cleaning measures with the aim of reducing the probability of contagion in our communities, BUT WE ALSO HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT THESE MEASURES ARE HYGIENE STANDARDS THAT WE SHOULD ALWAYS APPLY.

Preventive measures for our health care are vital, because in addition to allowing us to enjoy a life with greater well-being, it represents a lower economic impact for the home.

Currently, the world is facing one of the strongest health threats in recent years, not so much because of the health problems caused by this new virus, but because of its ease of contagion and spread.

The COVID-19 coronavirus is transmitted by contact with a carrier through droplets from the nose or mouth, when coughing or exhaling. This virus remains on the surfaces that surround the wearer (hands, clothing, desks, tables, etc.), so coming into contact with these objects and then touching our eyes, nose or mouth can infect us.

The World Health Organization - WHO - has reinforced the importance of taking care of our hygiene habits in society.

According to studies that have made it possible to evaluate how this virus behaves, the main recommendations to prevent its spread are:

Frequent hand washing or disinfection with specific products such as hydroalcoholic gel.

Cough or sneeze into a tissue or into your elbow, not your hands.

Cleaning and order in our work spaces and home with detergents and the application of specific disinfectant products.

Avoid contact with people, keep a distance of approximately 2 meters.

Try not to participate in events with many people. Use the Mask from the moment you leave the house until you return. Handle it only by the elastics, do not touch its base, do notor touch our faces without having clean and disinfected hands, since as we have said before, the entry of the virus into our body is through the mouth, nose and eyes.

Stay at home if we present symptoms of illness (cough, fever, breathing difficulties) and contact specific health services for this case.

Avoid going out if not necessary, to avoid spreading the virus in our community.

Most of these tips are basic rules for coexistence, so the best way to prevent is by strengthening these good rules to the best of our ability. This situation depends on how we take care of the people around us, it is a community responsibility.

SAFETY AND HYGIENE MANUAL IN HAIRDRESSERS, BEAUTY CENTERS OR CLINICS. INFORMATION FOR OUR CUSTOMERS.

This article aims to summarize in a set of ideas and advice a broad legal framework of different decrees and resolutions published to avoid infections and the spread of diseases in establishments with cosmetic activities whose purpose is facial, body, hair and hair beautification. ornamental.

PERSONAL PROTECTION ITEMS

The objective is to minimize the risk that a worker is exposed to contracting infections or diseases through the use of some protection elements.

The main practices that represent a risk of transmission of infectious diseases are: haircutting, shaving, trimming the beard, mustache or sideburns, making highlights, hair or body treatments, facial or body massages, manicures or pedicures. Etc.

The most common pathways through which chemical or biological agents enter the body are respiratory, skin, or ingestion; therefore, the protective equipment must be appropriate to the characteristics of the work and to the agents to which it is exposed in carrying out said work.

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: disposable masks

VISUAL PROTECTION: glasses or masks that prevent splashing

HAND PROTECTION: the use of disposable gloves, either latex, vinyl or nitrile to reduce the risk of contamination and to create a biological barrier according to the technical procedure to be carried out. Gloves should be worn for all work involving contact with bodily fluids, non-intact skin, blood-contaminated surfaces, as well as any manicures or pedicures. These gloves will be changed and discarded at each change of activity or client.

WORK CLOTHES: the use of repellent fabrics as a protection barrier is highly recommended, as well as the use of appropriate footwear for each activity.

CLEANING AND DISINFECTION

Cleaning must be carried out after applying disinfectant or sterilizing products to ensure proper removal of traces of organic matter or dirt.

Clean and dirty equipment must be separated within the work area to avoid possible contamination.

Disinfection of work surfaces between one client and another is necessary.

Dirt acts as a protector of pathogenic microorganisms against disinfectants, so a correct washing practice and subsequent disinfection or sterilization of equipment, instruments and surfaces massively reduces the microbial load that gives rise to diseases and infections.

SHARP ELEMENTS

During the handling, cleaning and disposal of sharp items, all personnel must take rigorous precautions to prevent accidents and infections.

The rigorous use of said sharp objects in a unipersonal and disposable way for each client.

Discard sharps after use in rigid-sided, puncture-resistant containers.

Handle these elements with tweezers when discarding them.

Do not throw them in garbage bags, boxes or containers that are not resistant to puncture.

Do not cover, fold or break sharp objects after use.

LINGERIE

All items of lingerie that are used by hairdressing establishments, beauty centers, clinics or nurseries; such as towels, sheets, robes, underwear, capes, etc. It must be maintained and stored in optimal hygienic and clean conditions, or use them expressly as single-use disposables and renewed for each client.

Once used by each client, they will be thrown away in the case of disposable lingerie, or deposited in suitable containers for later washing and disinfection in the case of reusable lingerie.

DISPOSABLE MASKS
The use of disposable masks is essential to create a protective barrier against germs, bacteria, contamination or any pathogenic organism that can be transmitted through the respiratory tract.

In this Article, we will focus on the different professions in which the use of a mask is especially convenient:

The hospital environment (doctors, nurses, assistants, veterinarians, patients...). It is evident that both health professionals and patients are in continuous contact with a multitude of pathogens that require the protection provided by disposable masks to prevent their contagion and proliferation.

Depending on the contaminating risk, the masks must be more or less protective, with more or less precise adjustments and more or less important filters.

construction workers , (painters, masons, workers, etc.), may be exposed to a large amount of dust, polluting gases or many other substances that are hazardous to their health. That is why the use of respiratory protection masks is so important. However, the use or not of masks, or the type of mask that must be used will be determined by the person in charge of the company after having carried out an exhaustive examination of occupational risks.

Workers in chemical companies and laboratories. Given the chemical products that are handled in these sectors, masks have become basic PPE for all employees. The risk of contamination of workers must be avoided, whether they work with gases or other types of substances.

Professionals who handle materials that produce dust or chips with their hands such as carpenters, potters or marble workers. Depending on the task to be carried out, the risks can be very different, which is why it is necessary to carry out an occupational risk study to determine the necessary protection that workers must use.

Machine shop workers . There are many toxic substances that a mechanic can inhale during his working day, gases from cars, paints, oils and other liquids, all of them are toxic substances that require the use of respiratory protection masks during handling.

In aesthetic centers, hairdressers, physiotherapists, etc. With the use of disposable masks in this area, we are highlighting an image of cleanliness and responsibility in the face of any disease or contagion that could occur between the professional and the client in carrying out the work, providing a plus of added value to our business, Since clients will use our services with the peace of mind that comes from being in an environment where pathogens are not produced or, ultimately, not proliferated.
