For the cleaning staff it is very important to have knowledge of Bloodborne Pathogens because when working in cleaning there is always a great probability of being exposed to the different fluids that human beings produce, which can contain pathogenic microorganisms that if not treated in the correct way can cause great problems to the person who comes into contact with these fluids. Another reason that knowledge of bloodborne pathogens is important is that if they are not treated correctly, they can expose other people to being infected with these diseases.

literally the way in which a good prevention for these cases, can represent the difference between life and death. That’s why it is important to follow the requirements and precautions provided by OSHA. as well as having the right equipment for each task.  the employer must also have an exposure control plan for the workplace in which details and protection measures are included. And finally, always make sure to have adequate supplies in stock to cover the functions that employees must perform.

that the protective equipment is always personal, and always have close to everything that may be required for a task. Do not perform actions such as eating, drinking or smoking in areas where the risk of being exposed to a Bloodborne Pathogens is high. Another is, avoid picking up infected items with your bare hand, and do not reuse cleaning items in these places such as sponges or rags finally use the color language appropriately to divide the contaminated items and always have the containers and bags labeled for their respective functions.
