Safety is paramount in all things that we do; the processes that we follow, the environments that we operate in, and the status of the equipment that we use to complete our missions. Most of the equipment utilized on a daily basis is easily brought to mind during operational risk management briefs and as the evolution unfolds such as extension cords, climbing gear lanyards and stitching, insulated tools, safety glasses, hard hats, or safety boots that have a non composite toe.

Cleanliness of equipment and implements is the most important step to preventing nail infections and cross contamination.  Tools/implements such as nail clippers, cuticle cutters, files, etc. should be cleaned and disinfected using an EPA Registered Hospital Level Disinfectant that is effective against Hepatitis B or is Tuberculocidal.  One of the most effective methods for cleaning implements is the use of an ultrasonic cleaner.  While this device is usually capable of working with delicate items, some pieces of equipment may have instructions regarding immersion in water or exposure to specific cleaning solutions. Before placing any implement/tool into the ultrasonic cleaner, refer to the manufacturer and inquire whether or not this is a suitable option,  as well as what cleaning solutions are most appropriate for the tools being cleaned. If the workplace will need to switch between multiple solutions, or operate multiple ultrasonic cleaners simultaneously, the solutions currently in each cleaner should be clearly marked and all employees briefed on which tools are associated with which cleaner. This will help ensure that tools are not harmed by the cleaning
