It is imperative that any person in the cleaning industry is aware of the potential risk you face. You can be exposed to bodily fluids at any given time, and it is important that you as the cleaner knows the proper precautions and procedures to take when a situation occurs. You as the cleaner and any other potential employees should always maintain the proper training and regulations that are in place to protect not only you, but your staff and others.

Bloodborne pathogens are present in human blood and can cause disease in humans. These pathogens include but are not limited to, Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) and Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (associated with AIDS). It is imperative that any employee uses the proper universal precautions to minimize the risk of infection. Always follow the proper practices that are set in place. Always assume that all bodily fluids are contaminated with bloodborne pathogens. Wear the appropriate personal protective equipment such as, gloves, glasses, and any other PPE needed to protect yourself and others. Also use the appropriate disinfectants to clean the area or surfaces that were contaminated.

As explained in the beginning you can be potentially exposed to bloodborne pathogens at any given time during a clean. If this incident occurs, it is important that you follow the proper steps in taking care of this matter. Immediately notify a supervisor in charge to report the incident. The exposed person needs to immediately notify their healthcare provider and be properly treated. If you or a supervisor are unaware of the proper protocol refer to the OSHA handbook, website or phone number. Any employer should always have an OSHA exposure control plan in place.

The education on Blood borne pathogens is for your safety and those around you. These pathogens we want to avoid is Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and Human Immunodeficiency virus (HIV) which is also associated with AIDS. 

In preventing this infectious spread there are guidelines and universal precautions set in place. We want to treat all bodily fluid potentially contagious and to treat it as such, before proceeding to the clean up. Preparing for the clean includes the correct cleaner, protective gear like gloves, mask and protective clothing. 

Ensuring the health and safety of yourself and others start with proper education from the managers to the staff. Following the universal code, precautionary procedures, and written exposure plan regularly ensures our safety. These guidelines will definitely make your day a whole lot better knowing your safe!

Hi, my name is Javier Velez and I signed up again as a member to IJCSA on Oct, 2022. I have successfully completed my recertification for green cleaning and have added on to my knowledge more solid ideals to implementing a good green cleaning program routine.

I plan to start small by buying more basic equipment that I will need for any workplace be it business or residence.

Some natural Green Cleaning Products and tools will do! These will cover all surfaces for windows, floors, bathrooms, kitchens.Also proper PPE equipment.

I will also be providing myself with easy,safe and reliable manuals to implement better and faster step by step methods and techniques to complete tasks or multi-tasks Depending on the size of the business or residences and be providing customers with up to date surveys to question overall satisfaction in my work.

I am happy to announce that I've completed my IJCSA Green Cleaning Recertification and am prepared to be well on my way to even better Opportunities towards a good career in the Green Cleaning industry. 

Cleaning a solid surface involves wiping away dirt, debris and any microorganisms that you happen to catch. The natural agent typically won't kill the germs on your surfaces as well.Disinfecting includes the use of chemicals to kill the germs but may not get rid of all the dirt and grime left behind. - wickfloormachine.com

Chemical cleaners are generally more efficient than natural cleaners-you will always want a product that's going to complete the task fast keeping your pace fast and steady and reliable.

Natural products can remove germs from a surface but don't kill 99.999% like some chemical cleaners do. When it comes down to natural chemicals the right frame of mind is the task completion by reducing air and water pollutants and helping to fight ozone depletion and climate change.

Many regular chemicals can irritate the eyes or throat,and cause headaches and other health problems-- you will definitely need PPE Gear such as :Gloves,body suits,masks, goggles and slip resistant work shoes.

With proper PPE on you can start working confident with the advantage in mind that these products will play an essential part in people's daily lives by removing soils, germs, and other contaminants to help prevent the spread of infectious disease and control allergens, such as dust or mold. --www.
