an intermediate contaminated object such as a razor, extractor, nipper, or an
environmental surface.
✔✔Infection - ✔✔The invasion of body tissues by disease-causing pathogens.

particular part of the body and appears as a lesion containing pus
✔✔Material Safety Data Sheet - ✔✔Information compiled by the manufacturer about
product safety, including the name of hazardous ingredients, safe handling and use
procedures, precautions to reduce the risk of accidental harm or overexposure, and
flammability warnings.
✔✔Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus - ✔✔A type of infectious bacteria that is
highly resistant to conventional treatments such as antibiotics.
✔✔Microorganisms - ✔✔Any organism of microscopic or submicroscopic size.
✔✔Mildew - ✔✔A type of fungus that affects plants or grow on inanimate objects, but
does not cause human infections in the salon.
✔✔Motility - ✔✔Self-movement
✔✔Multiuse - ✔✔Items that can be cleaned, disinfected, and used on more than one
person, even if the item is accidentally exposed to blood or body fluid.

in small numbers.
✔✔Natural Immunity - ✔✔Immunity that is partly inherited and partly developed through
healthy living.
✔✔Nonpathogenic - ✔✔Harmless organisms that may perform useful functions and are
safe to come in contact with since they do not cause disease or harm.
✔✔Nonporous - ✔✔An item is made or constructed of a material that has no pores or
openings and cannot absorb liquids.
✔✔Occupational hazard - ✔✔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 in another organism
(referred to as the host), while contributing nothing to the survival of that organism. It
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 infection in
humans when they invade the body.
✔✔Pathogenic disease - ✔✔Disease produced by organisms, including bacteria,
viruses, fungi, and parasites.
✔✔Personal Protective Equipment - ✔✔Protective clothing and devices designed to
protect an individual from contact with bloodborne pathogens; examples include gloves,
fluid-resistant lab coat, apron, or gown, goggles or eye shield, and face masks that
cover the nose and mouth.
✔✔Phenolic disinfectant - ✔✔Powerful tuberculocidal disinfectants. They are a form of
formaldehyde, have a very high pH, and can damage the skin and eyes.
✔✔Porous - ✔✔Made or constructed of a material that has pores or openings. These
items are absorbent.
✔✔Pus - ✔✔A fluid created by infection.
✔✔Quaternary ammonium compounds - ✔✔Disinfectants that are very effective when
used properly in the salon.
, ✔✔Sanitizing - ✔✔a chemical process for reducing the number of disease-causing
germs on cleaned surfaces to a safe level.
✔✔Scabies - ✔✔A contagious skin disease that is caused by the itch mite, which
burrows under the skin.
✔✔Single-use - ✔✔Also known as disposable; items that cannot be used more than
once. These items cannot be properly cleaned so that all visible residue is removed, or
they are damaged or contaminated by cleaning and disinfecting in exposure incident.
✔✔Sodium hypochlorite - ✔✔Common household bleach; an effective disinfectant for
the salon.
✔✔Spirilla - ✔✔Spiral or corkscrew-shaped bacteria that cause diseases such as
syphilis and Lyme disease.
✔✔Standard Precautions - ✔✔Precautions such as wearing personal protective
equipment to prevent skin and mucous membrane where contact with client's blood,
body fluids, secretions (except sweat), excretions, nonintact skin, and mucous
membranes is likely. Workers must assume that all blood and body fluids are potential
sources of infection, regardless of the perceived risk.
✔✔Staphylococci - ✔✔Pus-forming bacteria that grow in clusters like a bunch of grapes.
They cause abscesses, pustules, and boils.
✔✔Systemic Disease - ✔✔Disease that affects the body as a whole, often due to under-
