It is very important to maintain a clean environment in the cleaning healthcare field. It is of significant importance to not only protect yourself but also protect the other employees and patients. If you are careless in a healthcare setting it can have a very negative impact. 

Bloodborne Pathogens are infections in the blood that can be spread to others if exposed. The pathogens include the three types of Hepatitis and HIV. 

These pathogens can be found in the healthcare setting. Although, the healthcare staff should be the initial crew to begin the proper disposal of infected items there can still be traces of blood or other bodily fluids on surfaces. The cleaning crew must be sure to have the proper PPE to help protect themselves from these infected items.

You must always be sure to wipe all surfaces properly to avoid infection to yourself or to the other patients that have just had surgery and have fresh incisions.
