What is the first step to take in the blood spill procedure?

The blood spill procedure is critical in maintaining a safe and sanitary environment for both the client and the nail technician. Stopping the service is the essential first step because it allows the technician to prioritize the client’s safety and prevent any further exposure to blood or potential contamination. This also ensures that the technician can address the situation without any distractions.

Once the service has been stopped, the technician can then proceed with appropriate measures such as putting on gloves to prevent any direct contact with blood, washing hands afterward, and cleaning tools used during the service to ensure proper sanitation and adherence to health regulations. The initial act of stopping the service reassures the client and allows for a focused and calm management of the situation.
