Importance of Knowing About Bloodborne Pathogens

10 Dec 2020 12:46 AM | Deleted user

While professional cleaning can be very gratifying and make a home or business look welcoming and presentable, it can come with risks. Bloodborne pathogens can be present in almost any cleaning situation so employees and staff need to know the proper way to dispose of and clean contaminated items without causing exposure or harm to themselves. 

Employees and staff need to know that without the proper precautions the most efficient cleaning person can still be contaminated, or injured. Knowing about the risks and procedures of cleaning bloodborne pathogens can reduce instances of illness and injury to employees and staff. Proper care when disposing of contaminated items such as using labeled bags, wearing gloves or eyewear, hand washing, and placing items in the proper place are just a few essential ways to effectively cleaning surfaces and leaving them contaminate free.

Providing cleaning services is more than making a space look comfortable and tidy it is also to help promote safer, germ free environments for people to live or work in. Educating and developing a plan for employees and staff regarding blood borne pathogens makes sure that in instances of illness or injury the issue can be contaminated and cleaned properly to reduce spreading from either employee to employee or to home to their families and loved ones.
