Ohio Laws and Rules
(A) Disinfectants are inactivated and ineffective when visibly contaminated with debris, hair, dirt, particulates and/or when heavily soiled. Thus, implements and surfaces shall first be thoroughly cleaned prior to disinfection. Disinfectants shall be prepared fresh daily or more often if solution becomes diluted or soiled. Contact time: Leave surface wet or completely immersed, if possible, for a ten-minute contact time or longer as required by manufacturer for disinfecting against "HIV", "HBV", and all other viruses, bacteria, and fungi. In all cases the disinfectant used shall be in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendation or other guidance in this rule.
(B) All used implements shall first be cleaned of visible dirt, debris and/or bodily fluids with warm soapy/detergent water and then disinfected by completely immersing in an "appropriate disinfectant".
(1) All non-porous implements, which come in contact with intact skin, shall be thoroughly cleaned before immersion in an "appropriate disinfectant". An "appropriate disinfectant" for objects, which come in contact with intact skin is an environmental protection agency registered, hospital grade bactericidal (esp. pseudomonacidal), virucidal, and fungicidal that is mixed and used according to the manufacturer's directions or household bleach in a ten percent solution for ten minutes.
(2) All non-porous implements, which have come in contact with blood or body fluids, shall be thoroughly cleaned before immersion in an "appropriate disinfectant". An "appropriate disinfectant" includes an environmental protection agency registered tuberculocides or products registered against "HIV/"HBV" or household bleach in a ten percent solution for ten minutes. For personal protection against blood-borne pathogens, cleanup should always be done wearing protective gloves and also gowns, and eye protection for large spills. All implements, which have come in contact with blood or body fluids, shall be disinfected by complete immersion in an "appropriate disinfectant".
(C) Any non-porous surface that comes in contact with blood or body fluids shall first be cleaned with warm soapy/detergent water, and then an "appropriate disinfectant" shall be used. An "appropriate disinfectant" for surfaces, which have come in contact with blood or body fluids, include environmental protection agency registered tuberculocides or products registered against "HIV"/"HBV" or household bleach in a ten percent solution for ten minutes. For personal protection against blood-borne pathogens, cleanup should always be done wearing protective gloves and also gowns, and eye protection for large spills.
(D) Household bleach is an effective disinfectant for all purposes in a salon. Bleach solutions shall be mixed daily and used in a ten to one solution (nine parts tap water and one part bleach). Bleach shall be kept in a closed covered container and not exposed to sunlight. Bleach may produce eye irritation or mouth, esophageal, and gastric burns. Bleach is corrosive to metals. Bleach vapors might react with vapors from other chemicals, and therefore should not be placed or stored near other chemicals used in salons (i.e. acrylic monomers, alcohol, other disinfecting products, or near flame). Used or soiled bleach solution shall be discarded every day by pouring down sink basin or toilet bowl.
(E) All bottles and/or containers other than the original manufacturers' container used for application of "appropriate disinfectant" shall be properly labeled as to contents, percentage solution and date mixed.
(F) Cleanup items from minor cuts shall be double bagged or placed in biohazard containers, regardless of quantity. Double bagging could mean use a zip lock baggie for the waste, and then put the baggie in a normal trash bag. If the spill or cleaning materials are of a relatively larger volume, those materials used to clean spills, which do contain blood spills or bodily fluids, shall be weighed logged on a disposal log sheet and double bagged for disposal in the normal trash. If in doubt of what to do, call the local health board for directions.
(G) All food and drug administration designated "medical devices" shall only be disinfected by appropriate environmental protection agency approved disinfectants, for example microdermabrasion service wand, tip or head.
(H) Environmental protection agency approved disinfectants are indicated by their registration number on the product label and the manufacturer's directions for use shall always be followed.
