• Infection control -✓✓The methods used to eliminate or reduce the transmission of
infectious organisms. (4 types of harmful organisms; bacteria, viruses, fungi, and
parasites)
• Disinfection -✓✓Destroys MOST bacteria, but not bacterial spores; disinfecting tools
(disinfectants must be bactericidal; capable of destroying bacteria; virucidal, capable of
destroying viruses; and fungicidal, capable of destroying . Pesticides & can be harmful)
• Contamination -✓✓The presence, or the reasonably anticipated presence, of blood or
other potentially infectious materials on an item's surface or visible debris or residues
such as dust, hair, and skin.
• Decomtamination -✓✓The removal of blood or other potentially infectious materials on
an item's surface and the removal of visible debris or residues such as dust, hair, and
skin.
• Occupational disease -✓✓Illness resulting from conditions associated with
employment, such as prolonged and repeated overexposure to certain products or
ingredients.
• Parasitic disease -✓✓Disease caused by parasites, such as lice and mites.
• Scabies -✓✓Contagious skin disease transmitted by the itch mite, which burrows
under the skin
• Natural Immunity -✓✓Immunity that is partly inherited and partly developed through
healthy living.
• Acquired immunity -✓✓Immunity that the body develops after it overcomes a disease,
or through inoculation (such as vaccination) or through exposure to natural allergens
such as pollen, cat dander, and ragweed.

• Cross contamination -✓✓occurs when you, the esthetician, touch an object or product
with the same hand or utensil
• Aseptic procedures -✓✓The process of properly handling sterilize and disinfected
equipment and supplies to reduce contamination.
• BSI (Body Substance Isolation) -✓✓Assumes that all substances are infectious,
procedures are set by OSHA and local policy. Developed in 1987.
• PPE (personal protective equipment) -✓✓Is to be worn for contact with all body fluids,
even if blood is not visible.
• Standard precautions (SP) -✓✓Precautions such as wearing personal protective
equipment to prevent skin and mucous membranes where contact with the client's
blood, body fluids, secretions (except sweat), excretions, non-intact skin, breast milk
and mucous membranes is likely. Workers must assume that all blood and body fluids
are potential sources of infection, regardless of the perceived risk.
• Mycobacterium fortuitum -✓✓A microscopic germ that normally exists in tap water in
small numbers.
• Methicillin -✓✓Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) type of infectious bacteria
