Be sure to look for the colour changing indicator in the top left-hand corner of the pouch to show that the instruments have been processed in an autoclave.

Help protect both yourself and your nail technician from infection.

***Can you spot the difference?***
Thanks to @BFBnails we now can.
Only the package on the right has been sterilized. Some nail salons use this packaging to make it appear as though your instruments have been sterilized in an autoclave when in reality, they have not.

Do you know the true cost of discount nail services to the nail technicians and customers? Check out the post below ... @BFBnails "nailed" it.

When you really know your stuff, you don't even need the slides. Victoria Arrandale freestyles the lightning round to describe Monte Carlo simulations of workplace exposures. #CARWH2018

A strong demonstration of how service workers from vulnerable social backgrounds are subject to work environments where they lack control over their safety due to the precarirty of their employment making them unable to refuse a client’s request

It’s important to understand how work injury affects the whole family, as per Sonja Senthanar’s presentation. #carwh2018

Initial results from an @CancerCare_ON exposure study show that while the use of Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) in cosmetics is banned in Canada, their presence has been demonstrated in nail salons in Toronto particularly in artificial nails #regulation #precarity #carwh2018 @carwh_ca

We are privileged to have the opportunity to share our work @carwh_ca #CARWH2018

[Toronto HNSN @TOHealthyNails]

One of many positive outcomes that substantiate the importance of shifting research to be conducting "with us" not "on us"

In Question Period, @AndreaHorwath pushed @fordnation to protect 2 paid sick days for all workers who deserve to be able to take a day off when they're sick without fear of getting fired. It's fair and good for everyone's health. @DecentWorkHlth #15andFairness #OnPoli #CanLab
