  1. Bloodborne pathogen training is one-off at hiring, never refreshed
  2. Sharps disposal containers overflow before collection
  3. Post-exposure protocol unknown to most staff

6. Dialogue

🦉 & 🐥 & 🐮 — Salon operator dialogue

🐥
Piyo: Poppo, what's the most common infection risk in a hair salon?
🦉
Poppo: Fungal infections — ringworm (tinea capitis) — transmitted through contaminated combs, brushes, and capes. It's incredibly common and incredibly preventable: sterilise between every client, never share tools without sterilisation.
🐥
Piyo: What about bloodborne pathogens from razor nicks?
🦉
Poppo: Hepatitis B and C are the real risks. A single-use razor blade, immediate sharps disposal, and gloves for any service involving skin contact near potential cuts. The post-exposure protocol — wash, report, seek PEP advice — must be drilled, not just posted.
🐮
Mou: Strong, kind, beautiful — infection control is invisible when it works, catastrophic when it fails.
