Session Outcomes 

In todays session we will cover:

Recap Legislations, codes of practice and workplace policies 

Discuss the difference between Hazard and Risks

Infection Control in the salon

Introduction the hair structure 

Health and Safety- Lesson 1

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  

Recall the definition of 'Legislation'

What is legislation?

1. A law or a set of laws passed by Parliament
2. A document that outlines government policies
3. A decision made by a judge in a court case
4. A process for electing government officials

Legislation 

Legislation is a law or a set of laws that have been passed by Parliament. The word is also used to describe the act of making a new law.

Infection control in the salon

It is important to have high standards of hygiene and infection control in salon. Without this, the risk of cross infection or infestation is increased.

Using your textbooks, find out what the 4 types of micro organisms are.

 

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

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 

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 

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
  

Which type of micro-organism causes impetigo?

1. Bacteria
2. Virus
3. Insects
4. Fungi

What type of infection is caused by ringworm?

1. Fungal
2. Viral
3. Bacterial
4. Infestation

What is a common viral infection?

1. Impetigo
2. Scabies
3. Flu/COVID
4. Ringworm

Which type of infestation is caused by head lice?

1. Thrush
2. Conjunctivitis
3. Warts
4. Pediculosis capitis

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

Hazards in salons

There are many hazards within a hair salon, some obvious, some not so much.

The next slide shows an image of a salon. In your groups, make a list of all the hazards you can see.

Risks

Swap your list with another table.

Now identify the risks associated with the hazard.

Someone could slip.

Hazard

Risk

Clients and staff would not be able to escape incase of fire

Hot water

Clients head not supported

Could cause burns.

Can cause Hyperextension

Water on the floor

Trailing wires

Someone could trip over

Boxes blocking fire exit

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

The structure of the hair

The structure of the hair

The hair is made up of 3 layers:

• Cuticle
• Cortex
• Medulla

In your groups, use the text books to find out as much information as you can about each layer

Write down as many different facts about the hair structure.

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
3. Hair grows faster
4. Hair becomes thicker

the hair is made of keratin, but what is keratin?
