The aim of the study was to examine hygiene practices and risk factors for bloodborne infections in the selected staff of beauty parlors and hairdressing salons.
In this study, 118 people (112 women and 6 men), aged 18-55 years, were surveyed. The majority of the respondents (76 people) fell within the 20-29 age group.
Negligence in obeying some rules of work hygiene were found in the surveyed group of workers; at the same time most of the parlors and salons met legal requirements concerning sanitation and equipment hygiene. Of the total group of respondents, 53% of the staff employed in beauty parlors and hairdressing salons replied "Yes" to a question on incidents of sharp injuries during typical work activities over the last 2 years. The staff of hairdressing salons reported more accidents of this kind.
It is necessary to teach this group of employees about hygiene and sanitary practices. The current state of affairs in this small, but quite representative occupational group shows considerable ignorance in this regard. As for sanitation and disease control, special attention must be paid to the constant observance of hygiene rules at work. In particular, hands should be kept clean, gloves should be worn and adequate microbiological cleanliness of tools should be ensured. Inspection services should pay particular attention to whether the rules of handling used materials, a potential source of infection, are obeyed by workers. The results of numerous studies show that a large majority of parlors and salons to cut their operating costs do not follow relevant regulations in force. Incidents of staff exposure to potentially infectious material are usually connected with mechanical skin injuries. Contact with mucous membranes is less frequent. It should be pointed out that employees failed to wear protective gloves during incidents of exposure to potentially infectious material. Scissors, the major tool used by the staff of hairdressing salons were most frequently the cause of injuries.
本研究旨在调查美容院和美发沙龙特定工作人员的卫生习惯及血源性病原体感染的危险因素。
本研究共调查了118人（112名女性和6名男性），年龄在18至55岁之间。大多数受访者（76人）年龄在20至29岁之间。
在所调查的工人群体中发现存在违反一些工作卫生规则的疏忽情况；与此同时，大多数美容院和美发沙龙符合卫生和设备卫生方面的法律要求。在所有受访者中，在过去两年典型工作活动期间，美容院和美发沙龙的工作人员中有53%对关于锐器伤事件的问题回答“是”。美发沙龙的工作人员报告的此类事故更多。
有必要对这组员工进行卫生和卫生习惯教育。这个规模虽小但颇具代表性的职业群体目前的状况表明在这方面存在相当大的无知。至于卫生和疾病控制，必须特别注意在工作中始终遵守卫生规则。特别是，应保持手部清洁，佩戴手套，并确保工具具有足够的微生物清洁度。检查服务部门应特别关注工人是否遵守处理用过材料（潜在感染源）的规则。大量研究结果表明，大多数美容院和美发沙龙为降低运营成本未遵守现行相关规定。工作人员接触潜在感染性材料的事件通常与机械性皮肤损伤有关。与黏膜的接触较少。应当指出，员工在接触潜在感染性材料事件中未佩戴防护手套。美发沙龙工作人员使用的主要工具剪刀最常导致受伤。
