It is important for cleaning employees to know about bloodborne pathogens, because as a Cleaning Specialist you may be exposure, or in contact viruses such as, but not limited to HBV, Hepatitis B, or Human Immunodeficiency Virus, HIV.  Understanding this, cleaning employees will follow OSHA's Bloodborne Standard Universal Precautions when cleaning, and disposal infectious material. In addition, a written Exposure Plan would be in place, both staff and employees would know how to safely protect employees and others in the decontaminate area. Employers and employees would know what PPE, and cleaning products is needed to eliminate and reduce exposure to bloodborne pathogens.
