Blood Borne Pathogens

With over 5 million health care workers in the United States, it is imperative that cleaning companies are sending in their employees fully knowledgeable and skilled to deal with blood borne pathogens. TCES Cleaning Services knows the importance of having staff and employees (health care industry or related occupations) fully trained in the area of blood borne pathogens. Improper handling of trash can easily increase the risk of coming into contact with needles and a potential threat of being infected.

As a business owner, it is my responsibility to ensure the safety of my clients and staff. I will provide at no cost to my employees a blood borne pathogens training, and have each employee certified before sending out to a cleaning site. TCES Cleaning Services will also provide the proper PPE for staff to ensure their safety while working. TCES Cleaning Services will always abide by OSHA guidelines.

By following OSHA guidelines, TCES plans to reduce or eliminate the hazards of blood borne pathogens. We will put in place an exposure control plan for each worksite. This plan will include the details on how each employee can take precautionary measures. This plan will include the proper procedures step by step on how to proper clean the health care site. The plan will also include the exact steps to take if the employee becomes exposed in anyway to blood borne pathogens and the safety steps they will take to decrease their risk of infection. In the event an employee becomes exposed they will take universal precautions and act as if all blood borne pathogen are infectious. Any employee that does not abide by our companies and OSHA standards will ultimately be terminated.
