What must a technician do if they have a communicable disease?

A technician with a communicable disease is required to notify the Board and refrain from working until they have been cleared. This protocol is in place to protect the health and safety of both clients and the technician's colleagues in a professional setting. By notifying the Board, the technician ensures that appropriate health standards are maintained within the nail or beauty industry, mitigating the risk of disease transmission.

Choosing to continue working until symptoms worsen, informing clients about the disease, or only notifying their employer does not adhere to the established safety regulations outlined by the Board. These actions could potentially endanger clients and coworkers, as well as violate the laws that govern health standards in the industry.
