Dos Changos Locos Training Center: ASHI Training Center.

Dos Changos Locos Training Center.

Yes, we are a registered and certified training center for (ASHI) American Safety and Health Institute!  We are instructors for CPR/AED, CPR Pro, First Aid, and Blood Borne Pathogens. If you are in need of any of the above certifications contact Pattie Chapman, Manager of Dos Changos Locos Training Center, and she can get you scheduled for your classes.  We are focusing on the tattoo studios in the Stanislaus County area first.  We can train your staff to be compliant in the following areas: HIPAA, CPR/AED, First Aid, and Blood Borne Pathogens.  We meet all of the OSHA / JCAHO standards that you will have to be trained for in order to comply with AB 300 MA. CFR 29 1090.1030, CCR Title 8 5193, etc.

We will be scheduling classes for the general public after July 1st 2012.  As for right now we are only scheduling legitimate tattoo studios and their artists.  Those will be on a first come first serve basis.  The classes consist of no more than 10 people at a time.

CPR / AED 4.5 hours $60.00
Basic First Aid 2.5 hours $40.00
Blood Borne Pathogens 2 hours $50.00
Full package of all the above is a two day course that is 10 hours
CPR/AED, Basic First Aid, BBP 10 hours $120.00

We have talked to many of the tattoo studios throughout California and we thought it would be nice to mention things that have been brought up in the past weeks.

Yes, we train for Blood borne pathogens, First Aid, and CPR/AED.  Our training center is certified through ASHI (American Safety and Health Institute.  We meet the CFR 29 1910.1030 OSHA, and CCR title 8 5193 requirements for BBP training.  There is a difference from county to county as far as the CPR/AED, First Aid requirements.

There are differences from county to county regarding studio requirements as well.  Counties can differ on the requirements for sinks, walls, ceilings and floors.  We highly recommend that you become friends with your county inspector.  Ask questions, ask question, ask questions!

Things you must have: Infection Control Prevention Plan (Exposure Control Infection Prevention Plan) the name differs county to county, MSDS binder, training modules (engineering control), job categories, job tasks, and HIPAA management.  Autoclave requirements concerning spore testing and autoclave certification schedules.  There are some great options out there for your autoclave schedule.  You will need to run a class V indicator in your autoclave along with an indicator in each bag unless you have a peel pack with an indicator on  the bag (most bag do).  If you are using the tube style of bags you will have to put in an indicator strip in each bag. You are required to spore test monthly at a minimum. There are other requirements that are added depending on the county.  Some counties require  you to run a thermometer in the autoclave that records the temperature or have a printer on the autoclave that records the temperature and cycle time.  You can resolve all of this by running a spore test every time.  There are spore testing companies that can help you with that.  You will need a bathroom sink, clean room dirty sink (some counties want a clean room clean sink as well), and a common sink for the artists to wash their hands ( some counties want a sink a every procedure area), all sinks must have foot pedals, or knee pedals, or motion sensor faucet.  Must have hot and cold water! Must have motion sensor hand sanitizer and motion sensor soap dispensers at every sink.  Touchless hand towel dispensers as well.  Many counties are requiring motion sensor hand sanitizer dispensers in every procedure area as well.

A long list at best.  I think my best advice would be that you really need to find out what your county is asking for and meet that by 1 July 2012.  Many will have to end up moving and some will have to close.  AB 300 MA is going to separate those that want to be in the industry and those that do not.  For better or for worse this will make this industry come out of the dark ages.  The tattoo industry is full on mainstream now and I do not think, IMHO, there is any turning back.

Lastly, we do not travel away from our studio or training center to do training.  It would be very expensive to say the least for us to travel and do the training outside Stanislaus County.  We can, but it would cost you more than what you could find locally.  You can go to the hsi.com and find a training center in your area.  The American Safety and Health Institute is OSHA compliant and meets or exceeds all requirements for the training you will need.  You can find HIPAA training online for around $25.oo and you can find much of the training for that for free on the states health department website.  We can help you write your Infection Control Prevention Plan for $300.00.  You might be able to find someone in your area to help you write it.  Again, we would have to go to your site in order to help you write it, so having me travel a long distance will not be cost effective if you can do locally.

Critics

I know we are going to have our critics on the topic of us trying to make money with this, but this is a necessity for this industry.  We wanted to make sure that our staff was trained to give the best service possible to our clients.  This industry has become so much more than it was in the past.  As it evolves, we try to stay one step ahead of the game. So, my question is this: Do you want someone who is on point within the tattoo industry?  We are trend setters.  We do not follow the trends.  If I am to be criticized for hustling a dollar then so be it.  At least I am prepared.  It is those that are not prepared doing all the whining. At least I am willing to help out my fellow tattoo family by staying on point.

We can help you with all of your tattoo needs.  All of our artists are experienced tattoo artists that excel at what they do.  Please check our tattoo portfolios.  You should check the portfolios of every artist that you consider getting tattoo from.   There is a reason that you found us online.  We are highly recommended by our clients.  We get lots of traffic because we provide high quality art in Modesto.  We design custom tattoo designs daily.  We do have tattoo flash designs available in the tattoo studio if you prefer that type of design.  Tattoos that come from tattoo flash designs can usually be applied that day if we have an opening.  You can usually get tattooed quicker if it is from a tattoo flash design because the design is ready to be made into a stencil and be applied.

Custom tattoo designs generally take time to draw.  Depending on the design and how complex the design is will depend on how long it will take to draw up the design.  You must remember that we still have to tattoo during the day so we will be drawing on your tattoo design in the evening, or if we have down time, so please be patient.  It will be well worth your wait for the finished design because it will be a one of a kind design.

How to Write: Exposure Control Infection Prevention Plan or Infection Control Prevention Plan.

Frustrated?

Are you ready to write a 50 to 100 page document?  Do you know what California State Standards are being asked for?  Do you know which section of the 14 section document applies to what?  Do you know any of the codes or vocabulary?  Do you know any of the disease definitions?  What MSDS sheets do you need? What are those and where do you find them?

Does all this sound like Greek?  We can help!  We can help with the writing and getting you set up with your records.

We can get you and your tattoo studio trained in every module that you need in order to fulfill AB 300 MA, and Title 8.  We are a licensed training facility and can train you in the areas: Blood Borne Pathogens, First Aid, CPR, AED, and all of the Cal OSHA material for your studio and your artists.  We can help you get your MSDS binder and all or your HIPPA material ready for your county inspector.  July 1st is fast approaching and OSHA is a bigger concern because their fines can be up to $10,000 per day!  You must have this material ready and displayed in your studio.

Well, relax and contact us and we can help you through all of this.  We can offer you a package deal for training and ICPP or ECIPP.  We offer consulting for those that have to remodel due to new standards.  For example: You must have a separate restroom with sink, touchless dispensers for towels, soap, and sanitizer, etc. You must have a clean room that has a barrier and sink with counter for autoclave and ultrasonic cleaner, touchless dispensers for towels, soap, and sanitizer, etc. plus cabinets to store cleaning supplies.  You must have a hand sink in the common work area for hand hygiene with touchless dispensers for towels, soap, and sanitizer, etc.. This must be in place by July 1st!  If you have not been contacted by the county do not wait for them to come to you.  Call them and make an appointment.  They will inform you on what you need to do to be in compliance and stay open.  If you wait until after the July 1st deadline then you take the chance on immediate closure.

If you plan to start up a tattoo or piercing studio after July 1st 2012 then you will want to talk to us first before you drop a very large sum of money.  Gone are the days when you could start up a tattoo studio with little money.  It will not be exponentially more to start that business. Protect your investment by talking to us first.  We can help you with your plan, location, training, and paper work.

The bright side to all of this is that the legitimate studios will stay in business and the studios that were not will close.  No more are the days when you could tattoo out of your garage or house.  No more are the days of running a studio without have proper sterilization.  The bright side is we will not have to compete with the studios that are careless and dirty.

To those that can make it… Welcome!  To those that cannot make it… Better luck next time.  Learn your craft correctly or get out of the industry.
