There is a lot of reasons why Educating the cleaning employees and staff about Bloodborne pathogens is so important.

First without knowledge the employees or staff wouldn’t know how to protect the patient, staff or themselves. And we all know keeping workplace safe, clean , organized and free of odor is one the goals of every single employer. All these cannot be possible without knowledge.

Second once the employees or staff know how The Bloodborne pathogens are transmitted and what to do to prevent them , it reduces the danger as employees can be held accountable if they’re not following the guidelines but without the knowledge everybody will be risk.

Lastly, our cleaning employees or staff are the first defense at workplace, and they cannot assume this person looks healthy therefore I would clean his/her bodily  fluids differently from that person who seems sick meaning they need to treat all bodily fluids as if they’re contaminated by applying universal precautions. And this wouldn’t be possible without having the knowledge of Bloodborne pathogens.
