Bloodborne pathogen training is important in cleaning service staff and employees because you never know what you may com into contact with while you are on the job site. If you are not properly trained even the smallest accident can have the biggest consequences.

Everyone that is going to work at a location where they may come into contact with blood whether it be needles or garbage or blood soaked linen are at risk. You must always wear protective PPE for the job that you are doing at hand. If you are exposed to blood let you supervisor know right away so they can take further action and send you to get tested. Even if there is no risk of infection better to be safe then sorry

Always remember never recap a needle. Do not try to compact the trash manually by standing in the trash and jumping up and down or pushing down with your hands. If you any open wounds be sure to flush the wound and then report to your supervisor so that the right steps can be taken and reported.
