    Cleaning employees and staff play a critical role in the ongoing effort to control the spread of germs and pathogens which can often lead to any number of diseases including but not limited to HIV and HBV.  When we receive training and education on bloodborne pathogens, we help guard against the spread of contagions that can result in negative health consequences for anyone who might otherwise be exposed to them. 

    As a professional in the janitorial services field, I value the training that I received particularly since I work in medical facilities.  My training has helped me to better understand best practices for the properly handling of trash including a process which is very common that being the compacting of trash within trash liners and how that is a potentially hazardous practice which I will advise my staff not to perform.

    My training has also helped me to better understand the most likely sources for the transmission and exposure to bloodborne pathogens, that being that pathogens are most likely to enter our bodies through our mucus membranes and or through cuts to our skin.  I think that most cleaning professionals take the basic precaution of wear gloves but armed with a better understanding of the other ways an infections can occur, I am inclined to resume wearing additional PPE including protective eyewear and a face mask.  

    I think our collective relief that the threat posed from COVID 19 has been drastically reduced, got us all a little lax and this training reaffirmed the need for cleaning professionals to be as vigilant now as we were in the not- so-distant past.

    All cleaning done in the world for all work cleaning settings should be done with medical guidelines to keep the world healthy from diseases. 

    I do a lot of cleaning for College apartments so turn cleaning, making sure the apartments are cleaned and sanitized from germs is very important for the spread of disease and viruses. 

    The problem with the cleaning industry is that nobody wants to pay for proper cleaning, especially in the college apartment world not only do you need to turn them quickly they do not pay enough money to do the job correctly.

    In healthcare facilities, research labs, and various workplace environments, the knowledge and awareness of bloodborne pathogens among cleaning employees and staff members play a pivotal role in ensuring the safety of both the workers and the public. Bloodborne pathogens are microorganisms that can be present in blood and other bodily fluids, posing significant health risks when not handled properly. Understanding the importance of cleaning employees and staff knowing about bloodborne pathogens is essential for maintaining a safe and healthy work environment.

    First and foremost, educating cleaning employees and staff about bloodborne pathogens is crucial for their own safety. These pathogens can transmit life-threatening diseases such as HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C. Cleaning personnel often come into contact with potentially contaminated surfaces and materials, making them susceptible to exposure. With proper training and awareness, they can take precautions such as wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and using disinfection protocols to minimize their risk of infection. This not only safeguards their well-being but also ensures that they can continue to provide essential services without fear.

    Moreover, the knowledge of bloodborne pathogens among employees and staff extends beyond personal safety. It is essential for preventing the potential spread of infections to others. In healthcare settings, for instance, the thorough cleaning of medical equipment and surfaces is paramount to reduce the risk of healthcare-associated infections. Cleaning personnel must understand the correct protocols for decontaminating surfaces and disposing of contaminated materials safely. In non-healthcare workplaces, such as educational institutions or research labs, the proper handling and disposal of materials containing bloodborne pathogens are essential to prevent accidental exposures and potential outbreaks.

    In conclusion, the significance of cleaning employees and staff being well-informed about bloodborne pathogens cannot be overstated. Their awareness not only protects their own health but also contributes to the overall safety of the workplace and the community. Proper training and education on handling bloodborne pathogens empower these essential workers to carry out their duties safely and effectively, reducing the risk of infection and ensuring a healthier environment for everyone involved.

    How Important Are Janitors & Janitorial Staff To Our Daily Lives

    Janitors are extremely important to our day to day lives. Just think without janitors, going to the hospitals with bodily fluids and trash everywhere. I can tell you now that you would probably walk out. Or what about going to the grocery store and seeing trash and old food all over the floor, again you would probably walk out.

    Janitors make up the back ground of the world but without janitors the world would be a complete mess. Mostly every company in the world that allows customer access to their facility should understand that customer service starts with a clean waiting area.  If you agree, you are at the right place. Please see IJCSA's Janitorial Service Directory- https://www.ijcsa.org/Janitorial-Service-Directory-Find-A-Janitorial-Service-JanitorialServices for all your janitorial needs.

    Before I let you go, you should understand when go to the bank, gym, store, or even events that it take a lot of effort from great men and women to have cleaned up the place so you could enjoy the best experiences of your lives.   Please see a janitor, thank a janitor.

    Janitors and Janitorial staff are essential to not only the cleanliness of the areas that we frequent; but also the sanitation. Janitorial staff are responsible for upkeeping areas that are frequently touched as well as areas that are not generally disturbed. Both areas over time will accumulate particles to include skin cells, dust, and germs and if ignored they can cause damage to buildings or spread illnesses. Without Janitorial staff, busy areas would be ridden with disease and filth. Proper upkeep of these areas is essential to fostering an environment that is welcoming and safe for customers and this is accomplished through an experienced janitorial staff. 

    Janitorial staff are the backbone to any thriving business and they perform the work that is often overlooked. These staff are trained to recognize and mitigate the spread of germs and filth and keep you and your customers safe from unseen dangers. Often performing duties when others are off work, these staff members reset the workplace at the end of the day so that others can come in knowing that they are entering a clean environment. The presence of a good janitorial staff can also increase productivity and enhance employee satisfaction with where they work and how they are able to perform their duties. 

    Locating an experienced janitorial staff can be very easy by utilizing the IJCSA's Janitorial Services Directory. This directory will connect you with janitorial services companies in your area. You can also be certain that you are making connections with companies that are highly skilled in their trade and are ready to provide top notch services.

    It is extremely important for cleaning employees to be aware of the risk that comes from bloodborne pathogens. Cleaning staff could come into contact with many forms of bodily fluids that have the possibility of spreading disease. There is a possibility to infect themselves and many others by not properly handling situations where bloodborne pathogens could be a risk. Cleaning staff should always use universal precautions.

    Even if a particular cleaning staff member would not usually be expected to come into contact with a bloodborne pathogen, they should have the proper training to be able to handle the situation and reduce the chances of anyone contracting a bloodborne pathogen whenever possible.

    Bloodborne pathogens training can help employees to be aware of the risk and to use universal precautions by wearing proper PPE and following all established safety protocols. Without training employees may not be aware of the risks and that could lead to many people being at risk to be infected by a bloodborne pathogen that could have otherwise been avoided.
