Personal hygiene
Handwashing is the most important measure in preventing the spread of infection. You must wash your hands:
- before and after each client
- before putting on and after removing gloves
- before contact with instruments that penetrate the skin
- after contact with blood or other body substances
- after contact with used instruments and jewellery
- after eating, smoking, going to the toilet
- whenever hands are visibly soiled
- in any other circumstance when infection risks are apparent.
You must not smoke while attending to a customer. You need to wear clean clothing and closed puncture-resistant footwear and cover all cuts and abrasions with adhesive water-resistant dressings.
