    The topic regarding knowledge on bloodborne pathogens is a big risk to employees working as cleaners. Cleaning employees are very likely to come in contact with bodily fluid, which can spread disease to others unknowingly. PPE is extremely important for staff to wear, being given by the owner of the cleaning company. Universal precaution should always be use at all times, thinking that you may have a chance of being exposed to bloodborne pathogens.   

    In the event that staff comes into contact with bloodborne pathogens, staff should be PPE prepared and utilizes the training that they received to address the possible issues with bloodborne pathogens.

    Training for Bloodborne pathogens for staff should be a great help for staff to prepare for the unknown situations that may happen during one's shift. Not having trained staff is against the law and put a lot of people at risk for bloodborne pathogens and not being knowledgeable about how to clean and deal with the problems accordingly.

    Germs and viruses are common in every workplace. Every time you touch your desk, phone, door knob, keys etc. you are coming in contact with germs. there are different ways that germs can be spread. Direct contact infections spread when disease-causing microorganisms pass from the infected person to the healthy person via direct physical contact with blood or body fluids. Indirect contact transmission occurs when there is no direct human-to-human contact. Contact occurs from a reservoir to contaminated surfaces or objects, or to vectors such as mosquitoes,flies, mites, fleas, ticks, rodents or dogs. Wiping down high touch surfaces will help prevent the spread of germs and viruses. Practicing good hygiene will help prevent the spread. Practices that are generally considered proper hygiene include showering or bathing regularly, washing hands regularly (for 20 seconds or more)and especially before handling food, washing scalp hair, keeping hair short or removing hair, wearing clean clothing, brushing teeth, cutting finger nails, besides other practices. Germs and viruses are in every workplace. Bacteria counts are lowest at the beginning of the workday (because offices are often cleaned overnight), but it doesn't take long for germs to show up for work, too. As the day ramps up and more people touch more surfaces, the risk of coming in contact with bacteria goes up. there is no way to completely avoid germs and or viruses. you just have to do your best to prevent getting and spreading them.

    There are many mold cleaning products out there but the one I have actually used in the past is the CLR Mold & Mildew cleaner, I’ve been using it for a few years now and I will say it does a good job on the tiles in bathrooms of course a decent size scrub is required lol; but with a little elbow grease if comes off very quickly just make sure to let the chemical set in for about 4 to 5 minutes giving the solution sometime to aggregate the surface and it comes off like magic! However, I am looking to find a better commercial solution. Any recommendations?

    Mold can infect homes and commercial businesses, whether your business is an office building, healthcare facility, or even a warehouse mold is something every homeowner and business owner should take very seriously. However, having a mold cleaning program in place is paramount in any setting.  The benefits of having a mold cleaning program are beneficial because it reduces the chances of mold reproducing or coming back because mold spore is invisible to the naked eye, which can easily be transported by contaminated objects or consequently people. 

    Another benefit in having a mold cleaning program in place is identifying the problem at the source; being knowledgeable of molds and the various places they grow is key to recognizing potential areas which can be addressed, and the spread of mold can be prevented. Furthermore, having a mold cleaning program in place will reduce the health risk of your employees and customers, which is another benefit to your business because you won’t have to worry about worker’s compensation suits or legal fees due to mold sickness.

    It is important to keep healthcare facilities clean, especially since the general idea of going there is to get better yourself or help someone else heal from their illness or injury.  "Above all else do no harm!"  This is the oath physicians and other medical providers declare when becoming a licensed professional.  It is considered hypocrisy to be getting paid to increase someone's health when one is in fact making the person's health decrease.  At times, a person's declining health cannot be stopped.  However, making sure interventions, such as a hospital stay, don't actually make someone worse is paramount.

    Is is impossible to do accomplish this, if there is not a good infection control program in place at healthcare facilities.  Germs are carried into facilities many ways, and infections can be spread even when people don't intend to do so.  Staff members touch surfaces in the facility all day long, and it is important not to transfer one patient's germs to another.  It is also important working in a healthcare facility providing services is safe, or facility employees will be the next patient.  Frequent hand washing, Universal Precautions, the use of personal protective equipment, routine cleaning of the facility, and the use of disinfectants while cleaning all works together to prevent the spread of bacterial and viral pathogens.

    Thorough cleaning and disinfection is a foundational service healthcare facilities cannot go with out.  Otherwise, they will do more harm than good.  Contact a IJCSA healthcare cleaning provider today by clicking here https://www.ijcsa.org/Janitorial-Service-Directory-Find-A-Janitorial-Service-JanitorialServices
