2.2 I always respect the health and safety procedures and the infection control procedures, so before working with any client I wash hands, I use antibacterial gel, I put on gloves, apron, plastic shower shoes. I also respect some good rules when giving a shower: was first face, hands and upper part with a white flanel and groins, bottom and feet with a dark flanel.
