TEMPERATURE TESTING PROCEDURES

Learning Objectives:

After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to:

1. Determine and test appropriate temperature for heat tolerance of

client.
2. Demonstrate the procedure in Testing Paraffin Wax Temperature.

Introduction:

Temperature measurement, also known as thermometry, describes

the process of measuring a current local temperature for immediate or later
evaluation.
Paraffin Wax is a mixture of a wide range of nonpolar high-molecular-
weight alkanes that can crystalize from crude oils or solutions primarily due
to temperature decrease.
This section covers the temperature testing procedures in performing
hand spa using Paraffin Wax and Paraffin Wax Machine.

Procedure in Testing Paraffin Wax Temperature

Paraffin wax if often applied to the hands and feet. The wax is a
natural emollient, helping make skin supple and soft. When applied to the
skin, it adds moisture and continues to boost the moisture levels of the skin
after treatment is complete.

Paraffin waxes are renowned for their healing and pain-relieving

properties. It can also help open pores and remove dead skin cells. That may
help make the skin look fresher and feel smoother.

“It has a low melting point, which means that it melts into a liquid at
a temperature that is not too hot to immerse onto the skin,” says Shapiro.

The following steps are to be followed when testing paraffin wax temperature.
1. Wax is at an ideal consistency and temperature when it resembles honey
and glides over your skin. After your wax, test it on the inside of your wrist
before use.
2. Test the wax with your fingertip to make sure it’s right temperature. If
not, adjust the temperature.

3. The wax should not be uncomfortably hot on your skin.

4. If it feels too hot, leave it cool for a couple of minutes and test again on
your wrist.

5. If wax is not spreading easily and has a stringy texture, it is too cool and
will need a bit more heating time.

What is Paraffin Wax Treatment?

A paraffin wax treatment is a therapeutic and cosmetic procedure that
produced and transports moist heat to produce benefits on a deep muscular
level as well as on the outer layer of skin. Paraffin has been used for
decades, and it was first used for therapeutic purposes in the 1930s to treat
orthopedic injuries.

An extra benefit of paraffin wax treatment is miniaturization and repair of

cracked, thirsty skin. This service is very sought after in spas and salons,
and it is most usually applied on hands, feet, elbows, and face. This is how
paraffin wax smooth’s skin:

 The heat in the wax expands the blood vessels and circulation
increases, activating the eccrine glands —which produce sweat— and
the sebaceous glands —which produce sebum— and flush out toxins
and dirt from the skin pores in the process. The result is glowing skin.
A good moisturizer is usually applied before the paraffin wax
treatment so that the heat will trap the hydration into the deeper
layers of skin. Areas which have been treated with paraffin become
more hydrated, pliable, and soft.

 Cosmetic application of paraffin needs fewer layers: anywhere between

three to ten depending on the extent of the dryness.

 People who experience seasonal dry skin often find these treatments
to be helpful and relaxing preventative measures. Dry, cracked heels and
knuckles can make cold weather unbearable. One or two moisturizing
paraffin wax treatments can help a great deal during snowy months. If you
are interested in purchasing paraffin wax treatments for yourself or as gifts,
get in touch with the spas in your area to see if they are offered.

SETTING HAND SPA MACHINE

Learning Objectives:

After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to:

1. Determine the procedure in setting the hand spa machine

2. Perform setting hand spa machine.

Introduction:
A paraffin wax machine contains a heat source and tank that holds
paraffin wax. The machine melts the wax and maintains it in a liquid state.
When you immerse your hand in the liquid paraffin, the wax coats the hand
part completely. The warm temperature from the wax penetrates the skin,
muscles and bones to provide a soothing effect that can help relieve the pain
of arthritis, bursitis, joint inflammation or muscular strains or spasms.

Procedure in setting the hand spa machine:

Place the paraffin wax machine on a flat

and stable surface. Place the paraffin provided
with the machine into the tank of the machine.
If the machine comes with a plastic grill, place
that on top of the un-melted paraffin. Position
the lid on top of the grill and the paraffin.

Plug the machine into an electrical

socket. Leave the machine plugged in for
eight to 15 minutes to allow the paraffin to
melt completely. Leave it plugged in at all

times to keep the paraffin liquid ready for use.

Remove any jewelry from the body part to be treated, then wash and
dry the skin. Apply a liquid sanitizer to the body part and allow the sanitizer
to dry completely. Apply a lanolin-based lotion to make the removal of the
hardened paraffin easier.

Touch the tip of your finger to the

melted paraffin to test that the temperature is
comfortable. The wax should not be
uncomfortably hot on your skin. If it feels too
hot, leave it cool for a couple of minutes and
test again on the tip of your finger.
But, if the wax is not spreading easily and has a stringy texture, it is
too cool and will need a bit more heating time.

HAND SPA PROCEDURES

Learning Objectives:

After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to:

1. Identify Hand Spa Procedures

2. Describe the systematic procedures in conducting Hand Spa.

Introduction:

Hand Spa is a hand care treatment to pamper our tired hands and to
keep the nails look healthy and strong. This treatment is another way to
relax and relieve stress from day to day activities accompanied by massage
and has many beneficial effects. Hand Spa which is used by professional
skin care technicians done in salon and spa shops was found helpful to
combat anti-aging.

Once you learned the concepts about hand spa, this could be your
stepping stone to augment personal income. This activity can be performed
at home.

Before you precede with the steps in hand spa treatment, there is a
need for you to have a background on how to give basic hand massage or
hand and arm massage techniques as these are also part of the steps in
hand spa treatment.

Basic Hand and Arm Massage Techniques

The hands contain many acupressure and reflexology points which

are associated with the organs and certain parts of the body.

Do not proceed with the hand spa treatment if there are signs of
infections. It is advisable for the clients to wear a protective clothing to avoid
contamination of stain.

Massage should be included with each treatment because it provides

significant health benefits.

Methods in giving Hand Massage

1. Hold the client’s hand in your hand. Place a

dab of lotion on the back of the client’s hand and
spread it to the fingers and wrist.

 Cup the elbow joint in your hand. Massage elbow with circular
motion. Repeat 10 times.

WARNINGS:

The Homedics Paraspa Instruction Manual recommends that

individuals with diabetes not use a paraffin wax machine. Do not apply
paraffin to skin that has cuts or other open wounds, is inflamed or irritated,
or has decreased sensitivity. Stop using the paraffin bath machine if the wax
feels too hot or not hot enough. Consult with your physician concerning
your experience with the machine to determine wether continued use is
warranted.

POSITIONING CLIENTS (ERGONOMICS)

Learning Objectives:
After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to:
1. Determine the proper positioning of clients (Ergonomics) in a salon.
2. Explain the basic positioning of clients (Ergonomics) in a salon.

Introduction:

It is nearly always possible to find a position that is comfortable for

the client, and also allows you to maintain your body in as near to a neutral
posture as possible as you work. Position your clients so that the part of
their body you want to work on is directly in front of you, close to your body,
and facing up toward you. A good rule of thumb is to work only on the parts
of the client’s body that you can access directly, both visually and manually.

Working ergonomically will create an optimal environment by

eliminating muscle strain that will benefit both your physical and
psychological health.

Posture and position are important, whether you are sitting at the nail
table or in front of your client giving a treatment. Paying attention to how
you perform these tasks can prevent many injuries, e.g. lower back, neck,
wrist and shoulder pain.

 Ergonomic Tips
Furniture: Chairs designed for
“task-forward” work provide support to
the sitting bones and help support the
lumbar.
Hand tools: In addition to
choosing correct tables, hand spa
booths, and chairs, techs can find hand
spa tools and equipment’s, and even callus stones that are designed with
hand mechanics in mind.
Rest and stretch: Correct furniture and posture are only part of the
story. Your body also needs to rest and to release pressure through
stretching. The stretches should compensate for the forward motion
required of a technician. In an ideal world, we would change positions and
stretch every 20 minutes. If that’s not possible, be sure to move around and
stretch between clients.
Steps to Reduce Ergonomic Hazards

 Use an adjustable chair that gives proper back support and can be raised
and lowered. Position the body so that feet stay flat on the floor and use
a footrest if needed.
 Make sure that there is enough space between the back of the knees and
the front edge of the seat to help ensure proper blood flow to the legs.
 Adjust the lighting to see without bending over a work table.
 Raise and position the client's hand or foot to avoid bending over.
 Avoid resting hands, wrists, forearms, and elbows against hard and/or
sharp edges of work tables.
 Put a towel or foam pad on the work table edge for a softer surface for the
arms.
 Put soft pads on tool handles to make them larger and easier to hold.
 Take frequent breaks if possible. Changing positions and doing a
different task is also helpful.
 Pace the work. When working too fast, the body can become tense, which
could cause muscle pain.
 Do gentle stretching exercises in between sessions with clients to relax
and give muscles and joints a chance to move.

HANDLING AND USE OF CHEMICALS

Learning Objectives:
After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to:
1. Identify different chemicals use in a salon for hand spa.
2. Determine the general rules for handling and use of chemicals.

Introduction
Chemicals have become a part of our life, sustaining many of our
activities, preventing and controlling many diseases. However one cannot
ignore that many of these chemicals may, especially if not properly used,
endanger our health and poison our environment.

Common substance used in hand spa:

Paraffin Wax – is a white or colorless soft, solid wax. It’s made from
saturated hydrocarbons.
Hand Soak liquid – is an herbal blend to relax, energize, soothe and
deodorize the feet.
Hand scrub lotion – is a mixture of natural ingredients to keep feet
soft, smooth and moisturized.
Hand lotion – is any various cosmetic preparations that are applied to
soften the skin.
Moisturizing soap - is a salt of a fatty acid used in a variety of
cleansing and lubricating products.
Callous liquid remover - is used on the skin to treat common skin and
foot (plantar) warts. Salicylic acid helps cause the wart to gradually peel off.
Disinfectant – is an agent, such as heat, radiation, or a chemical,
that destroys, neutralizes, or prevents the growth of disease-carrying
microorganisms.
Wet Sanitizer - is a substance or preparation for killing germs.

March 2012 Page 3 of 160
Facilitating Training NTTA
Sessions
General Rules for handling chemicals:
These rules help to prevent contamination of the chemicals, but can
also be used to prevent users from having problems caused by undesirable
events during use.

 Do not return chemicals to their original packaging. An incompatible

mixture may accidentally be formed.
 Keep chemical containers closed. Dust and vapour may escape from
an open container, while gases and suspended material may penetrate
this, causing the nature of the chemical to change. This will also avoid
unnecessary exposure.
 Never use the wrong or an unmarked reagent. If you are unsure about
the compound, do not use it. Instead, have it disposed of (see Disposal
of Hazardous Waste).
 Never use spatulas, stirrers or other objects in what was originally a
storage container for chemicals. Remove the contents by pouring and
rolling the contents of the glass into a beaker, watch glass or other
suitable equipment. Spatulas may be used with caution in laboratory
reagent containers. Remember the labelling (see the General Safety
Rules).
 Once removed from the bottle or glass, cork stoppers must be placed
on a clean surface (e.g. a watch glass or other suitable equipment)
with the opening facing down. This is to avoid contamination of the
compound and unnecessary exposure.
 Chemicals must not be carried by the neck of the bottle, nor next to
the body. Suitable carrying arrangements should be employed, e.g.
buckets or trolleys.
 When pouring from bottles, the label should always face upward to
prevent any spillage from destroying the label.
 Never place any chemicals in the bottle other than the one indicated
on the label.
 Special precautions should be taken when handling concentrated
acids. Dilution of acids should be performed by pouring the acid into
water and stirring continuously.

OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH & SAFETY RULES AND REGULATIONS

Learning Objectives:
After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to:
1. Determine the Occupational Health & Safety Rules and
Regulations.
2. Explain different Health & Safety Rules and Regulations.

Introduction:

Getting your nails and hand treatment done can be a soothing and
relaxing experience. Grabbing a cup of coffee and heading to the nail salon
with a girlfriend can be a great way to spend a peaceful afternoon.

Yet while salons can be an enjoyable experience, they also present

some health hazards. The obvious hazard might be the chemicals they come
into contact with, but have you ever considered hazards such as those
presented by being in close proximity to someone with a skin infection, or
the difficulties that poor posture or repetitive motions can cause?

Occupational Health and Safety and You

One of your most important responsibilities is to protect your Health

and Safety as well as that of your co-workers. This booklet will discuss some
of your duties under the occupational Health and Safety legislation and help
you to make your workplace safer and healthier.

What the law requires

Workplaces under the jurisdiction are governed by your provincial
legislation. The legislation places duties on owners, employers, workers,
suppliers, the self-employed and contractors, to establish and maintain safe
and healthy working conditions. The legislation is administered by your

CBLMs on Trainers Date Developed: Document No.

Sessions
provincial legislation. Your officials are responsible for monitoring
compliance.

Duties Of Your Employer

Your employer is responsible for providing you with safe and healthy
working conditions. This includes a duty to protect you from violence,
discrimination and harassment. You must cooperate with your employer in
making your workplace safe and healthy.

Your Responsibilities
You must also comply with the legislation. You have responsibilities to: ƒ
 protect your own Health and Safety and that of your co-workers; ƒ
 not initiate or participate in the harassment of another worker;
 and ƒ co-operate with your supervisor and anyone else with duties
under the legislation.

Your Rights
The legislation gives your three rights: ƒ
 the right to know the hazards at work and how to control them; ƒ
 the right to participate in Occupational Health and Safety; and ƒ
 the right to refuse work which you believe to be unusually
dangerous. You may not be punished for using these rights. An
employer can be required to legally justify any action taken against
a worker who is active in Health and Safety.

Your Right To Know

The Act requires your employer to provide you with all the information
you need to control the hazards you face at work. For example, chemicals at
the workplace must be listed. You are entitled to review this list. Your

To Participate You have the right to become involved in occupational Health
and Safety. The legislation encourages employers and workers to work
together to maintain a healthy and safe workplace. Employers at workplaces
with (ten or more – consult your provincial act) workers must set up an
occupational health committee of employer and worker representatives.

Committees Have Duties To: ƒ

 Regularly inspect the workplace; ƒ
 Conduct accident investigations; ƒ
 Deal with the Health and Safety concerns of employees; ƒ
 Investigate refusals to work;
 Meet at least (four times a year – consult your provincial act); and
return minutes of each meeting to the Division.
Committee members are entitled to five days (consult your provincial
legislation) of unpaid educational leave each year to take occupational
Health and Safety courses. They may attend courses provided by the
Division without loss of pay or benefits. Certain types of workplaces with
less than (ten – consult your provincial act) employees must have a worker
Health and Safety representative. The representative must be selected by the
workers at the workplace. He or she has many of the responsibilities of an
occupational health committee.

Your Right To Refuse

You have the right to refuse to do work which you believe is unusually
dangerous. The unusual danger may be to you or to anyone else. An
unusual danger could include such things as: ƒ
 a danger which is not normal for your occupation or the job; ƒ
 a danger under which you would not normally carry out your job;
and/or ƒ
 a situation for which you are not properly trained, equipped or
experienced.
To exercise this right, use the following guidelines. Once you believe that the
work you have been asked to do is unusually dangerous, you should inform
your supervisor. Make sure that the supervisor understands that you are
refusing to do the disputed job for health and safety reasons. Work with the
supervisor to attempt to resolve the problem.
If the problem cannot be resolved by the supervisor to your
satisfaction, and no worker health and safety representative or occupational
health committee exists at the workplace, your supervisor should phone the
Division and ask for advice. You also have the right to contact the Division
at any time.
The supervisor has the right to assign you to other work (at no loss in
pay or benefits) until the matter is resolved. Do not leave the site without the
permission of your employer.

 If a committee exists at the workplace, contact your local
representative and ask for help. Your supervisor should contact the co-
chairpersons and ask them to investigate. They will try to resolve the matter.
If they cannot resolve the matter to your satisfaction, they will convene for
an emergency committee meeting. The committee will investigate and
prepare a report on the refusal.

You have the right to continue to refuse until: ƒ

 measures have been taken to satisfy you that the job is now safe to
perform; or ƒ
 Your occupational health committee has investigated and ruled
against your refusal.
If the committee rules against your refusal, you have the right to appeal the
ruling to an occupational health officer. The officer will investigate and
prepare a report on the disputed work. If you disagree with the decision of
the officer, you may appeal to the director of the Division.

An employer cannot assign another worker to do the disputed job unless the
replacement worker is advised in writing:
 of the refusal and the reasons for it; ƒ
 of the reasons why the employer believes that there placement worker
can do the disputed job safely; ƒ
 that the replacement worker also has the right to refuse; and ƒ
 of the steps to follow when exercising this right.
