3.1.3 CLIENT INJURY CAUSED BY HEAT, OUTPUT OF ENERGY AND
MATTER, HEAT AS A RESULT OF FRICTION ON THE SKIN OR
NAILS
Heat development through friction on the skin is a problem, particularly
when working at higher rev. counts with large-surface nail file drills or
tools.
In cases such as these, the working and contact surfaces should not be
too small. You shouldn't do deep, point-focused work but you should
make wider, sideways cutting movements across the skin. You should
interrupt the contact with skin or nails from time to time to allow the
working areas to cool down.
3.1.4 INJURY CAUSED BY HAIR GROWTH IN THE TREATMENT AREA
It can happen, for example when working on toes or insteps, that thick-
er and longer hairs grow in the treatment area. This is particularly the
case with male clients.
In order to avoid the risk of these hairs getting entangled in the tool
and being painfully pulled out, they should be cut off as a prophylactic
measure beforehand.
3.1.5 CLIENT INJURY CAUSED BY ACCIDENTAL INVASIVE
APPLICATIONS
There is always the risk of accidental invasive applications when using
rotary tools.
Inconsistencies in the tissues, changes in the depth of skin cornifica-
tion, sudden movement by the client or lack of concentration on the
part of the operator can all lead to this.
3.1.6 PERMANENT VISUAL INSPECTION MINIMISES INVASIVE
APPLICATIONS
With fine work there should be permanent visual inspection and with at-
risk clients, e.g. clients being treated with a coumarin derivative, you
should only work with illuminated magnification.
Invasive working methods should be avoided at all times!
