What is a hazard?

What is a risk?

What are the four types of micro-organisms?

Micro-organisms

There are 4 types of infections caused by Micro organisms:

BACTERIAL INFECTION

FUNGAL INFECTION

VIRAL INFECTION

INFESTATIONS

Bacterial infections

Bacteria are single celled organisms which vary in size and exist as spores.

Bacteria can multiply very quickly in the right conditions (warm and moist environments)

Examples of bacterial infections are:

Impetigo, Conjunctivitis, Acne Vulgaris  

Fungal infections

Fungi infections include moulds and yeasts and are naturally occurring on the human skin.

They feed on organic matter. They secrete enzymes which break the organic matter down, and the fungi then absorb the nutrients which are released as the organic matter decomposes.

Fungi produce spores

Ringworm

Thrush 

Viral infections

Viruses are tiny infectious micro-organisms which multiply in the cells of other living organisms.

Such as:

Warts

Herpes

Flu/ COVID

HIV/AIDS 

Infestations

Infestations are caused by tiny insects which live off the blood of their host

Example of infestations are:

Pediculosis capitis (head lice)

Scabies

Infections and Infestations transmitted by:

• DIRECT CONTACT
  
• INDIRECT CONTACT
  
• INHALATION
  
• INGESTION
  
• INJECTION
  

Can you list as many ways to limit the chances of cross-infection and infestations?

Ways to reduce cross contamination 

• Use clean towels for every client
• Wear appropriate PPE
  
• Check client for contra indications at consultation
  
• Clean and sterilise equipment after every use
  
• Clean work areas with disinfectant
  
• Wash towels, gowns etc on a hot wash
  

Can you list different Accident/ Emergency situations that could occur in a hair salon

Accident/ Emergency situations

Below is a list of 4 accidents and emergency situations. In your groups, discuss how you think each one would be dealt with.

• Slips, trips and falls
• Client or colleague being taken ill
• A fire in the salon
• A flood caused by a leaking basin

Employees have a greater responsibility for health and safety.

Employers should provide a safer environment.

Health and safety should be a shared responsibility.

What is the difference between a hazard and a risk?

1. A hazard is the likelihood of harm, while risk is the severity of the harm
2. A hazard is a physical danger, while risk is a mental danger
3. Hazard and risk are interchangeable terms
4. A hazard is a potential source of harm, while risk is the likelihood and severity of the harm occurring

Write down as many different facts about the hair structure.

Cuticle 

• Is made up of transparent overlapping scales 
• Heat/ chemicals will open the cuticles 
• The cuticle scales should ideally be closed from root to tip to give the hair shine and lustre 
• Healthy hair reflects light 
• Damaged cuticle scales will make the hair feel porous and appear dull
• When the hair is in good condition they are water repellent and when in poor condition they will allow more water to be absorbed into the hair making it more porous. 

Cortex 

• This is the section under the cuticle and is where most the action happens.  
• Your natural colour is determined in the cortex and this is where artificial colouring mostly takes place.
• It is this layer that has the bonds which hold your hair in place to determine if your hair is straight, wavy, curly or very curly. 
• Where the hair is temporarily or chemically changed from straight to curly or curly to straight. 
• It is the main part of the hair that gives it's strength and elasticity.  

Medulla  

• The medulla is the least interesting layer. 
• it is the central part of the hair but is not always present. 
•  In a single strand it may fade in and out when analysed under a microscope  or it may be present all the way through in some hair types.
• it tends to appear in more thicker or coarser hair textures. 

Is the medulla always present in every strand of hair?

1. No
2. Sometimes
3. Yes
4. It depends on the hair type

Which layer of the hair is responsible for determining your natural color?

1. Medulla
2. Epidermis
3. Cuticle
4. Cortex

What is the cuticle made up of?

1. Transparent overlapping scales
2. Sebaceous glands
3. Protein fibers
4. Melanin pigment

What can open the cuticles?

1. Water
2. Sunlight
3. Heat/chemicals
4. Brushing

What happens when the cuticle scales are damaged?

1. Hair loses color
2. Hair feels porous and appears dull
