CHEMICAL HAZARDS
Chemical hazards are substances used and/or produced at work that have the potential to harm the health
and safety of people at work. These chemicals can harm the health of the people exposed to it.
The Beauty industry is exposed to repeated exposure to numerous hazardous substances including those
that are use for nails and skin care products, hair dyes, bleaches, perming solutions, hair styling agents,
straighteners, rebonding solutions, peroxides, disinfectants, and cleaning products. Health effects of some
hazardous substances include skin irritation, coughs, asthma, sensitization, poisoning and cancer.
Measures of Concentration of Toxic Chemical Substances
Threshold Limit Value (TLV) TLV it is the measure of concentration of toxic substances. It is the average
concentration of an airborne substance to which most workers could be safely exposed over an eight-hour
working day throughout a working lifetime.
Maximal Allowable Concentration (MCL) MCL is a peak or maximum concentration of an airborne to which
most workers could be safely exposed.
Control Measures:
a. Use alternative substances or processes which are less hazardous
b. Provide good ventilation to get rid of the fumes and chemical smell that builds up in a salon
c. Provide separate eating and drinking amenities for employees
d. Ensure appropriate safety signs, training, instruction and provision of Material Safety Data Sheets

Manual handling involves any activity that requires the use of force exerted by a person to lift, lower, push,
pull, carry or otherwise move any load. These can result in injuries to any part of the body. Nail salon
workers use forceful repetitive movements such as filing and buffing nails and holding uncomfortable
positions for long periods of time, thereby increasing risk to joint and musculoskeletal injuries.
Control measures
a. Plan the lift before you begin.
b. Position your feet shoulder width apart.
c. Bend your knees without moving your upper body, squat down to the floor. Keep the shoulders level and
facing in the same directions as the hips.
d. Get a firm grip and keep your arms within a boundary formed by the legs.
e. Keep the load as close to your body as possible.
f. Lift the load smoothly; do not jerk.
g. If an item is too high, use a stepladder or stool to help you.
Biological Hazards
Biological hazards, also known as biohazards, refer to biological substances that pose a threat to the
health of living organisms, primarily that of humans. Micro-organisms are everywhere and are continually
introduced into the environment. They live on skin, in food and dirt.

Micro-organisms are easily spread between clients and operators and are easily transferred by contact
with unwashed hands, soiled equipment or contact with blood and body substances. To minimize transfer
of micro-organisms, you must perform all procedures in a safe and hygienic manner, following all infection
control techniques and procedures. Skin that is intact, without cuts or abrasions, is a natural protective
barrier against infection.
Control Measures: The following are the methods on how to control infectious diseases:
1. Cleaning is the removal of soil and a reduction in the number of micro-organisms from equipment
surfaces by washing in detergent and warm water.
Methods of Cleaning:
1. Rinse the equipment in warm water (15-30°C) to remove any blood or body fluids. Hot water used at
this stage will cause coagulation and the substances will stick to the instrument. Cold water will
harden fats, making cleaning more difficult.
2. Wash the equipment in a sink filled with warm water and a mild alkaline detergent to remove all visible
soiling (strong alkaline detergents may damage some instruments). Hold the items low in the sink to
limit the generation of aerosols during scrubbing. Use of a scouring pad can assist in removing stains.
3. Rinse the equipment thoroughly in running water.
4. Dry with a cotton cloth. Drying prevents residues from damaging equipment during sterilization.
5. Store under cover in a clean, dry, and dust-free environment.
2. Disinfection is the removal of micro-organisms by chemical or physical means. The level of
decontamination depends on duration of exposure to lethal levels of disinfectants. Unlike sterilization,
disinfection does not remove all microorganisms but reduces the population to safe levels.
Proper use of disinfectants:
a. All implements must be thoroughly cleaned of all visible matter or residue before soaking in disinfectant
and prevent them from being effective.
b. Implements and tools must be completely immersed in disinfectant solution for the time specified on the
product label. Complete immersion of tools and implements means enough liquid to cover all surfaces
of the item including the handles.
3. Sterilization is the total destruction of all living micro-organisms and their spores. Methods of
sterilization includes; a. Physical agents such as radiation and heat b. chemical agents, such as
antiseptics, disinfectants and vapor fumigants
Ergonomics
Ergonomics is the study of how equipment and furniture can be arranged in order that people can do work
or other activities more efficiently and comfortably. It is important in the adaptation of work conditions to
the physical and psychological nature of people.
A nail technician should consider the three main factors in nail servicing:
1. Supporting the weight of the client's arm or leg
2. Working while looking down at the hand or foot of the client
3. Looking forward at the hand or foot of the client

Lesson 4: Practice Nail Shape
Direction: Look at the pictures of nail disorders below and identify them. Write your
answer on the blank.
___________ __________ __________ __________ __________
A. Hangnail B. Bitten nail C. Onychauxis D. Leukonychia E. Bruised nail
NAIL DISORDERS
1. Blue nails- Bluish in color; these may be attributed to poor blood circulation or heart disorder.
2. Brittle nails- vertical splitting or separation of the nail plate layers at the distal (free) edge of the nail
plate. Over exposure to detergent soap and other chemical solvents may be the cause.
3. Bruised nails- Shows dark purplish (almost black or brown) spots, usually due to injury and bleeding of
the nail bed. As the nail grows, dried blood in the nail bed will also go out.
4. Eggshell nails- In this disorder, the nail plate separates from the nail-bed and curves at the free edge.
It may be caused by chronic illness of the systemic or nervous origin.
5. Furrows- These are long ridges that run either lengthwise or across the nail. Some lengthwise ridges
are normal in adults. These ridges increase with age and can also be caused by psoriasis, poor
circulation and frostbite. Ridges that run across the nail are caused by high fevers, pregnancy, and
measles.
6. Hangnails- These are marked by a condition in which the cuticle splits around the nail. Carelessness in
removing the cuticle, dryness, cutting off too much may result in hangnails. It may cause infection if not
treated

7. Lekonychia or white spot- White spot appears frequently in the nails. They may be caused by injury to
the base of the nail. As the nail continues to grow, these white spots eventually disappear.
8. Pterygium- It is an overgrowth of cuticle which sticks to the surfaces of nail plate. Carefully remove the
adhering growth by means of a cuticle nipper.
9. Onychatrophia- It is described as wasting away of the nail. The nail loses its luster, shrinks, and falls.
This can be caused by injury to the nail matrix or by internal disease.
10. Onychauxis or hypertrophy- It is an overgrowth of the nail usually in thickness rather than length. It
is caused by an internal imbalance, such as local infection or heredity.
11. Onychophagy or bitten nail- It is a deformity of the nail plate caused by biting the nails. Biting is an
acquired nervous habit which prompts the individual to chew the nail or the hardened cuticle.
12. Onychorrhexis or split or brittle nails- These are caused by an injury to the finger, careless filing of
the nails, excessive use of cuticle solvents and nail polish removers. The nails may be extremely dry
because of some granular disorder.
13. Ridges- It is caused by uneven growth of the nails, usually resulting from illness. Buffing the nails with
paste polish will help remove the ridges.
14. Treating cuts- It is caused by an accident during manicure. Apply an antiseptic immediately. Do not
apply nail polish on the affected area.
