【爱马斯全球】美甲师如何预防健康风险

　　While crafting the perfect manicure or giving a relaxing foot massage, nail technicians need barrier protection to guard themselves against harsh chemicals and blood borne pathogens. When making purchasing decisions, salon owners are not only looking out for the safety of their employees, but they are also liable to regulations from the U.S. Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA).

　　美甲师在(为客人)进行完美的美甲或放松足部的按摩时，(手部)需要保护屏障，以防止自己受到刺激性化学物质和血源性病原体的侵害。在做采购决策时，沙龙的主人不仅要考虑员工的安全，也要遵守美国职业健康与安全管理局(OSHA)的(相关)规定。

　　These regulations are important for a reason. Prolonged exposure to the chemicals used by technicians may lead to:

　　▪ Headaches

　　▪ Dizziness

　　▪ Skin, eye, mouth, and nose irritation

　　▪ Asthma

　　▪ Harm to fetuses of pregnant technicians

　　▪ Kidney and liver damage

　　▪ Cancer

　　这些规定很重要，首要原因是：长期接触化学品的美甲师可能会产生(以下情况)

　　▪头痛

　　▪头晕

　　▪皮肤、眼睛、嘴巴和鼻子的过敏反应

　　▪哮喘

　　▪危害怀孕技师腹中的胎儿

　　▪损害肾脏和肝脏

　　▪癌症

　　Additionally, blood borne pathogens contribute an additional biological risk to nail technicians. When grooming nails and nail beds, they can be exposed to hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV viruses.

　　此外，血源性病原体将会增加美甲技师感染生理风险(的几率)。当(他们为客人)梳理指甲和指甲床时，他们会面临(感染)乙型肝炎、丙型肝炎和HIV病毒(的可能性)。

　　In order to address these risks, nail salon owners purchase several types of barrier protection in their supply order. As they stock up on shellac gel polish, nail drills, and other nail supplies, they will also order disposable gloves and face masks to keep their employees safe.

　　为了解决这些风险，美甲沙龙店的老板会在他们的供货购物单里加一些防护用品。

　　除了囤积一些甲油胶、钉钻等美甲用品，他们也会订购一次性手套和口罩来保障员工的安全

　　Disposable Gloves

　　一次性手套

　　Disposable gloves are necessary for protecting nail technicians against these health concerns. However, due to the prevalence of latex allergies, the industry is trending toward non-latex gloves. Nitrile is a synthetic material that is a great alternative to latex. Disposable gloves made of nitrile have a better fit because the material conforms to your hand the longer you wear it. For nail technicians, an exam-grade nitrile glove such as AMMEX blue Nitrile Gloves(pictured above) can keep nail technicians safe against blood borne pathogens and latex sensitivities. Nitrile gloves also have the benefit of avoiding potential latex allergies for nail technicians as well as salon clients.

　　对于美甲师而言，一次性手套是他们用来保护自身免受这些健康威胁的必需品。

        然而，由于乳胶过敏的患病率(增加)，该行业更倾向于(使用)非乳胶手套。丁腈是一种合成材料，也是乳胶的最佳替代者。丁腈制成的一次性手套更加适合贴手，因为你佩戴的时间越长，(这种)材质就越贴合你的肌肤。对于美甲师而言，(拥有)一副爱马斯的蓝色丁腈手套，可以保护他们的健康，远离血源性病原体和乳胶过敏的危害。(选择)丁腈手套也有利于避免潜在的对乳胶蛋白过敏的美甲师和沙龙客户(受到伤害)。

　　Masks

　　口罩

　　Face protection gives nail technicians a barrier between their respiratory system and chemical dusts and germs in their environment. Many salons use ear loop face masks, which also protect customers from what workers exhale. For better protection, salons should consider a filtering face piece such as N95-rated face masks. These masks can filter out dust while technicians apply acrylic powders of other air born hazards.

　　面部防护措施使美甲师在呼吸系统和环境中的化学灰尘和细菌之间形成了一道屏障。许多沙龙场所使用挂耳式口罩，这也保护客户不会受工作人员的呼吸影响。为更好的防护(效果)，沙龙场所应该考虑使用过滤面的N95口罩。当美甲师面临空气中其他危险时，例如：丙烯酸粉末，这些口罩可以过滤灰尘(起到防护效果)。

　　Wide Open Market

　　开放市场

　　More than 375,000 nail technicians Salon owners are purchasing disposable gloves and face masks along with their other salon supplies. If you are a distributor with salon clients, have you considered carrying barrier protection to satisfy this need?

　　超过375000名美甲师，需要从这些具有极端危害的工作场所中获得保护。沙龙业主购买其他沙龙用品时，也会一起购买一次性手套和口罩。如果你是一个有沙龙客户的分销商，你考虑过携带防护用品，以满足(客户)这方面的需要吗?
