What can make preventing the spread of infection easier?

Knowing the proper procedures is essential in preventing the spread of infection in a nail tech setting. Understanding and consistently applying infection control protocols, such as proper sanitation and disinfection techniques, hand washing, and personal protective equipment (PPE) usage, ensures that all surfaces, tools, and implements are free from harmful microorganisms. This knowledge empowers nail technicians to handle products and equipment safely, reducing the likelihood of cross-contamination between clients.

While having sufficient supplies and working in a smaller space can contribute to a more organized environment, they do not directly ensure that proper infection control measures are followed. Using expensive equipment may enhance the quality of services but does not inherently improve infection prevention unless those tools are also accompanied by the knowledge of how to use and maintain them properly. Hence, knowing the proper procedures remains the cornerstone of effective infection control.
