Pathogen Transmission & Barrier Standards
DOCUMENT PI-WIKI-BIO-07 // VERIFIED_STANDARD
EXECUTIVE_SUMMARY
Defining the aseptic techniques and chemical barriers required to prevent the transmission of HBV, HCV, and HIV in clinical art settings.
Infection control is the hallmark of a professional body art studio. The Bloodborne Pathogens (BBP) standard provides the clinical framework for 'Universal Precautions'—treating all human blood and certain body fluids as if they were known to be infectious.
Aseptic Technique & Viral Persistence
Viruses like Hepatitis B can survive on dry surfaces for up to 7 days. This necessitates the 'Surface Barrier' system where all high-touch areas are physically wrapped and chemically disinfected between every procedure.
- Hand Hygiene: The first line of defense; 20-second scrub with antimicrobial soap.
- PPE Hierarchy: Nitrile gloves (ASTM D6319), procedural masks, and protective eyewear.
- Sharps Container: Immediate disposal of single-use needles in puncture-resistant containers.
