3 Corrective Maintenance
The process of preserving a condition or situation or the state of being preserve is
termed as maintenance. Maintenance is carried out following detection of an
anomaly and aimed restoring normal operation. Preventive maintenance is
conducted to keep working and/or extend life of the equipment. Corrective
maintenance sometimes called “repair” is conducted to keep equipment working
again.

the series of activities starting from your first day of
reading this module. So keep going!

Let’s Explore
After going through the process of sanitizing and sterilizing, you now
have the knowledge to move to the next level of understanding, what the
illustration below tells about?

 As a manicurist, you should give attention to the proper maintenance
of nail care implements and equipment. They should be properly cleaned
and disinfected after servicing each client. The information listed below
will help you learn how to perform basic preventive and corrective
maintenance, sanitize nail care equipment and implements as well as
your nail care station.

Let’s Elaborate
How can tools and equipment be kept safe, clean and
functional?
It is vital to sterilize metal implements, sanitize wooden tools, and
disinfect hand and foot spa machines as well as environmental surfaces
before and after each use. Contaminated tools can cause bacterial and fungal
infections that are unsightly, painful and sometimes, fatal. There are several
methods of cleaning and sterilization. Do a cursory cleaning after each nail
care service and deep-clean monthly to keep tools safe and useful all the time.

1. Sterilize metal implements after each use in a hospital-grade disinfectant

that is bactericidal, virucidal, and fungicidal. This disinfectant can be found
in beauty supply stores. Immerse the tools in the disinfectant for 10 minutes.
2. Disinfect foot basins after each use with a bleach solution. Make a
1 is to 10 solution by mixing one part bleach with 10 parts water. Using gloves,
rinse the basin with the solution to disinfect. If necessary, scrub with a
detergent to remove any dirt or debris.
3. Use a boiling method of sterilization once a month to disinfect all metal
implements. Designate one pot for sterilization to prevent cross-
contamination with food. Submerge the tools in boiling water for 10 minutes.
Drain the tools and allow them to dry.
4. Store sterilized metal implements in an airtight, zipper-sealed bag to keep
them from being exposed to dirt and bacteria. Be sure tools are completely
dry before storing them. If waiting more than a couple of weeks before the
next nail care service, sterilize the tools again before use.
5. Inspect tools and equipment regularly to identify defective ones for repair,
replacement or condemnation.

Keeping the Workplace Clean and Safe

1. All beauty salons must be well-lighted and well-ventilated and must be in
good sanitary condition.
2. The salon premises must be free from rodents, vermin, flies or other similar
insects.
3. All salon establishments must be provided with continuous running hot
and cold water.
4. The curtains and floor coverings in the salon must be washable and kept
clean.

4
5. All hair, used cotton or other waste materials must be removed from the
floor immediately, and deposited in a closed container. Get rid of them from
the salon premises at frequent intervals.
6. The rest rooms must be well-sanitized and be provided with individual
towels.
7. Each beautician must wear a washable uniform while working on clients.
8. Each client must be provided with a freshly laundered towel.
9. All waste materials should be disposed of in an enclosed waste bin fitted
with polythene bin liner, durable enough to resist tearing.

The activities ahead of you will refine your understanding

about workplace hazards and risks. Readings and insights
are provided to nurture the existing knowledge brought by the
series of activities starting from your first day of reading this
module. So keep going!

Let’s Explore
Direction: Analyze the illustration below. What have you observed? Can you
tell what causes harm to the persons in the picture?

7
 In every workplace, hazard is inevitable that is why it is important to know
safety procedures for every workplace. Employers have a general duty to
ensure the health, safety and welfare of their employees, clients, visitors and
others who may be affected by workplace activities. Accident preventative
measures are within the control of the management.

Let’s Elaborate
Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) is a planned system of working
to prevent illness and injury at work by recognizing and identifying hazards
and risks. Health and safety procedure is the responsibility of all persons in
the beauty service industries. You must identify the hazards where you are
working and evaluate how dangerous they are. Eliminate the hazard or modify
the risk that it presents.

Harm- is an adverse health effects on something or someone under certain

conditions at work.
Risk - the chance or probability that a person will be harmed or experience
an adverse health effect if exposed to a hazard.
Hazards – harm or adverse health effects on something or someone under
certain condition at work.

Identifying workplace hazards means looking for those things at your

workplace that have the potential to cause harm.

Common hazards in a beauty salon

There are many hazards present at a beauty salon that deserves your
attention. Use this guide as a starting point for conducting a risk assessment
at your facility to correct potential hazards and to keep your clients’ safety.

Ask a qualified electrician

1.) Electrical Hazard to check all pieces of
electrical equipment in
the workplace annually or
as often as possible.

Many of the electrical appliances used in the beauty salons can create
serious health and safety risks, particularly in wet conditions. Damage to
equipment increases this risk. Electrical shock can result in electrocution,
burns, and injuries from falls.

8
 Good ventilation can get
2.) Chemical Hazard
rid of the fumes and
chemical smell that builds
up in a salon. Use
appropriate personal
protective clothing (PPE).

These are substances used and/or produced at work that have

the potential to harm the health and safety of people at work. Health effects
of some hazardous substances include skin irritation, coughs, asthma,
sensitization, poisoning and cancer.

An emergency exit way will be

the easiest route by which all of
3.) Fire Hazard the clients and staff can leave
the building or salon safely.

As a beauty salon staff, you must be aware of and trained in fire and
emergency evacuation procedures in the workplace.
Nail technicians must assume
4.) Biological Hazards that all blood and other body
substances are potential
sources of infection.

Biohazards also refer to biological substances that pose a threat to the

health of living organisms, primarily that of humans. Micro-organisms live on
skin, in food and dirt are easily spread between clients and
manicurist/pedicurist and are easily transferred by contact with unwashed
hands, soiled equipment or contact with blood and body substances.

5.) Ergonomics Paying attention to how you

perform these tasks can prevent
many injuries, e.g. lower back,
neck, wrist, and shoulder pain.

Manicurist/pedicurist use forceful repetitive movements such as filing and

buffing nails and holding uncomfortable positions for long period of time,
thereby increasing risk for musculoskeletal injuries.

6.) Manual handling of

Lifting and moving heavy
material and tools
stock materials and working
at poorly designed
workstations can cause
injuries and muscle strains.
