    Medical cleaning practices can be very beneficial if they are implemented into other cleaning situations. Germs and viruses have the ability to spread just as fast at residential and commercial facilities. The strict guidelines being practiced during medical cleaning could help to lessen the spread of bacteria in other buildings as well.

     Pushing for a higher standard of cleaning could decrease the number or people getting sick at workplaces, schools, gyms etc. Most medical facilities are required to use chemicals that have the ability to kill dangerous viruses and bacteria. These viruses and bacteria can also be found be residential and commercial spaces therefore require the same attention.

    Implementation of medical cleaning practices should begin with education first. People should be given the information on which cleaning techniques and chemicals to use to best mitigate the spread of infection. Most people coming into medical facilities for assistance are contracting infections at work or home which shows you these areas need the same attention as medical facilities. If medical cleaning practices were the standard, the number of people getting sick would decrease.

    The corona virus pandemic is proof that cleaning properly is more important than ever. Medical cleaning being the only standard would greatly improve the cleanliness of both residential and commercial facilities.

    Bloodborne pathogens are microorganisms that are in human blood and has the potential to cause various disease if exposed. These diseases may include HIV/AIDS, hepatitis b, hepatitis c, malaria, and syphilis. The CDC reported that approximately 5.6 million healthcare and janitorial service workers are at risk of exposure to bloodborne pathogens. Therefore, we must maintain gaining knowledge of bloodborne pathogens.

    It's important to have knowledge of bloodborne pathogens because when knowledge is applied correctly it reduces the potential of a threat. Continually educating yourself on OSHA guidelines keeps the employer and their employees safe, also eliminates exposure in the workplace. With the training and guidelines of OSHA, it teaches us that we should treat all bodily fluids as if they are contaminated since there is no way to differentiate between infected fluids and non-infected fluids.

    In conclusion, educating ourselves about bloodborne pathogens should remain our priority. Annually educating ourselves and employees on the proper clean up of bodily fluids will continue to ensure workplace safety. Taking the initiative to meet OSHA guidelines will help you and others around you by limiting exposure.

    Understanding Bloodborne Pathogens: A Crucial Element in Employee Safety

    In any workplace, the safety and well-being of employees are paramount, and this includes knowledge about potential health hazards such as bloodborne pathogens. These invisible threats, including viruses like HIV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C, can be present in blood or other bodily fluids and pose serious risks if not handled correctly. Educating employees and staff about bloodborne pathogens is not just a legal requirement in many industries, but it is a critical step in fostering a secure and healthy work environment.

    Preventing Workplace Risks: The Power of Knowledge

    Awareness about bloodborne pathogens empowers employees to take proactive measures, reducing the risk of exposure and transmission. IJCSA training programs provide valuable insights into proper handling, disposal of contaminated materials, and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE). This knowledge ensures that employees understand the importance of exercising caution when dealing with situations that may involve blood or bodily fluids, minimizing the potential for accidents or exposure. By equipping staff with the necessary information, businesses create a culture of safety, reinforcing the idea that every individual plays a crucial role in maintaining a secure workplace.

    Legal Compliance and Ethical Responsibility

    Beyond the immediate health benefits, ensuring that cleaning employees are well-versed in bloodborne pathogen safety is often a legal requirement. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations mandate training programs for employees who may be at risk of exposure. Companies failing to comply with these regulations not only risk legal consequences but also jeopardize the well-being of their workforce. Ethically, it is the responsibility of employers to provide a safe working environment, and comprehensive training on bloodborne pathogens is a fundamental component of fulfilling this obligation. In doing so, businesses not only protect their employees but also contribute to the overall health and safety of the community.

    I was a young single mother my only skill at the time was being a mom and homemaker working endless jobs to make ends meet while attending classes  and paying my way through college I worked hotels and other no end jobs barely making ends meet then I discovered I could clean on my own I landed a new construction contract through my fathers long time best friend it didn't take long until the money started flowing in I have been building different avenues ever since cleaning residential ,  commercial ,  and new construction .

My clients are  people that I have grown to love knowing and caring for their needs for so many years some more recent than others  I consider them friends as well as an extension of family when you are working for the same costumers throughout the years would be hard not too in my opinion  . Up until a few months ago I was very confident within my skill and experience as a cleaning professional to clean and disinfect for my clients keeping them safer every clean giving extra protection through the cold and flu season then Covid - 19 came , when I realized  how serious the pandemic was I suspended business immediately even before the state started shutting down I knew this virus was bigger than anything I had ever experienced . My instinct was to immediately start looking for more astringent PPE for proper protection for my personal protection as well as my clients protection I immediately thought to seek training and certification for bio hazard cleaning  did a quick search online and found IJCSA I was navigating the website and found I could get certified in biohazard cleaning but first I would have to get certified in hazardous chemicals customer service , residential cleaning specialist  then move on to bio hazard cleaning certification  IJCSA also has many other certifications available . I have had a lot of fun taking these refresher course study for these certifications has reminded me of the importance of chemical safety and the different resources out their for us professionals .

    Janitors and Janitorial staff are essential to not only the cleanliness of the areas that we frequent; but also the sanitation. Janitorial staff are responsible for upkeeping areas that are frequently touched as well as areas that are not generally disturbed. Both areas over time will accumulate particles to include skin cells, dust, and germs and if ignored they can cause damage to buildings or spread illnesses. Without Janitorial staff, busy areas would be ridden with disease and filth. Proper upkeep of these areas is essential to fostering an environment that is welcoming and safe for customers and this is accomplished through an experienced janitorial staff. 

    Janitorial staff are the backbone to any thriving business and they perform the work that is often overlooked. These staff are trained to recognize and mitigate the spread of germs and filth and keep you and your customers safe from unseen dangers. Often performing duties when others are off work, these staff members reset the workplace at the end of the day so that others can come in knowing that they are entering a clean environment. The presence of a good janitorial staff can also increase productivity and enhance employee satisfaction with where they work and how they are able to perform their duties. 

    Locating an experienced janitorial staff can be very easy by utilizing the IJCSA's Janitorial Services Directory. This directory will connect you with janitorial services companies in your area. You can also be certain that you are making connections with companies that are highly skilled in their trade and are ready to provide top notch services.
