IV. LEARNING PHASES AND LEARNING ACTIVITIES

I. Introduction (Time Frame: 2 Days)

Having the adequate knowledge about tools and equipment is essential in nail care services for they are the
foundation in performing different nail care tasks. On the previous weeks you were given developmental activities and
learning tasks to be able to identify, use and observe safety procedures of using tools and equipment according to task
requirements. This week, you will be acquainted with preventive and corrective maintenance of nail care tools and
equipment that is equally important in nail care services.
Preventive maintenance is a strategy that is carried out in a regular basis which means that all tools and equipment is
inspected regularly even if there is no sign of failure. By doing so, any tool and equipment failure is avoided and prevented
to make sure that they are functioning well and safe to use. This maintenance routine requires a maintenance plan to ensure
reliability of tools and equipment in terms of performance and safety of the people.

On the other hand, corrective maintenance is a set of technical tasks which are designed to repair tools and
equipment as there is a need to fix or even replace them. This kind maintenance is used to correct errors which needs to be
repaired to restore its function. It does not require a maintenance plan because the problem should be solved immediately
since failure is not predicted. This means that this type of maintenance is only performed when there is failure and malfunction.

Therefore, after going through the learning activities in this lesson you will be able to perform basic preventive and
corrective maintenance of nail care tools and equipment. Specifically, you will be able to perform the following tasks:

1. Clean tools according to standard procedures.

2. Inspect defective tools and equipment.

Hello, I am very excited for this 2-week activities because I invited a nail care technician friend named Louis
from a renowned salon in our community. He will help you in performing preventive and corrective maintenance
of nail care tools and equipment.

Hi there, I am Louis, and I have been a nail care technician for two years. I will provide you the appropriate
knowledge and skills in performing preventive and corrective maintenance of nail care tools and equipment. Let
us start with understanding the difference between disinfection, sanitation, and sterilization so as with the distinction
of antiseptics and disinfectants.

Sir Louis, let me enlighten them with the differences of those 3 important terms. To avoid the spread of
contagious germs, the first and most critical step is to clean.

1. Cleaning is also known as sanitation. Both terms apply to the elimination of visible pollution and
debris, as well as a substantial reduction in the number of germs on the surface.
2. On the other hand, the destruction of viruses, bacteria, and fungi on surfaces that have contacted a client's skin is known as
disinfection. When disinfected correctly, a surface is less likely to spread infection or disease. Since disinfectants are harmful to
skin and can cause irritation or allergic reactions, disinfectants are only used on non-living surfaces.

3. Alternatively, the absolute removal of all microscopic organisms on a surface is referred to as sterilization. Surgical instruments
are sterilized in hospitals. Chemical sterilization is too dangerous for salons, however, sterilization of nippers, files, and other tools
using pressurized steam) is needed in certain areas and preferred by some salons. Tabletops and foot spas are too large to fit
into an autoclave and must be disinfected instead.

Thank you Mam Salie for explaining their differences as well as their important roles in nail care services. Now, I
want you to have an initial idea about the roles of antiseptic and disinfectant in cleaning. Antiseptics are drugs
that are applied to living organisms, such as human skin, to destroy any microorganisms that may be found on the
surface. Mouthwash and hand sanitizer are two examples of antiseptics that are both safe to use on your skin while
still being highly effective at destroying large numbers of microorganisms. Disinfectants are applied to non-living surfaces like
countertops and handrails to destroy the microorganisms that live there. Alcohols and bleach are different forms of
disinfectants. Before performing the standard cleaning procedures, you must have the skills in preparing the needed materials.
I have prepared visual representations of the preparation for sanitation and sterilization. I want you to read, analyze and
understand the procedural diagram below:

 Preparation of Equipment and Surface for Sanitation Sterilization of Metal Implements

Bear in mind that all tools, implements, and equipment should not be used until they have been properly sanitized or sterilized
to avoid diseases, and that all products on the trolley are neatly arranged. Personal hygiene should be a priority
for all beauticians. Using disposable goods wherever possible is highly recommended. The following diagram will
help you to know and perform cleaning of tools and equipment according to standard procedures.

Clean Tools and Equipment According to Standard Procedures

You must always guarantee the client's protection and comfort by using good working condition tools and
equipment, as well as supplying him or her with sufficient personal protective equipment.

Here are the standard procedures in keeping tool and equipment clean, safe, and functional.
Your main goal is to provide each customer with the best quality nail care service possible, so all tools and
equipment are thoroughly examined to decide which ones are in good working condition and which ones are not.
That is why functional tools and equipment are maintained in a secure manner in compliance with salon and local
health regulations. Non-functional or defective tools and equipment are correctly isolated and numbered for repair
or disposal. You can use the following checklist form in reporting the condition of nail care tools and equipment.

All you must do is to put a CHECK (/) in column if the tool or equipment is FUNCTIONAL.
On the other hand, put a CHECK (/) in column if the tool or equipment is DEFECTIVE.

I hope you learned the essential knowledge and skills in basic preventive and corrective maintenance of nail
care tools and equipment. You are amazing! Now, you can move forward with the learning tasks I have
prepared for you! Good Luck!
