Pathogens Standard Class Position |

 Position Statement of the Society of
Permanent Cosmetic Professionals Board of Directors:
While not an industry requirement in all
localities, it is the position of the Society of Permanent Cosmetic
Professionals Board of Directors that permanent cosmetic
professionals should take annual Bloodborne Pathogens Standard
Classes.
Rationale:
With the ever-increasing prevalence of
diseases and infections such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus
aureus (MRSA), it is in the technician’s best interest to obtain and
regularly review information necessary to work safely within the
industry, thereby protecting themselves and their clients. The
SPCP Board of Directors encourages all permanent cosmetic
professionals to take at minimum, a four hour industry-specific
class annually.

principles and ethics.
