    It is imperative that employees and staff of cleaning companies have deep knowledge of  bloodborne pathogens. According to OSHA Bloodborne pathogens are infectious microorganisms present in blood that can cause disease in humans, like hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the virus that causes AIDS.

    Anyone who is exposed to bloodborne pathogens is at risk for serious or life-threatening illnesses and even death. Workers can protect themselves from harm from bloodborne pathogens if they are provided information on how to effectively use PPE and handle blood and bodily fluid.

    It is important for employers to have exposure plan that provide staff information about the step-by-step plan of how to manage any exposure to bloodborne pathogens.

    Being Green Cleaning certified is going to give me the opportunity to show that I am really knowledgeable about cleaning beyond using rags and the good old mop and bucket.  To be certified means knowing how to work with sustainable products that will have a positive impact on the environment. I can also teach my team how to properly use and manage products that place the environment, people, and health on the front line.  These do not need to be competing forces. They can all work together.  For instance, I will be able to share why the use of micro-fiber cloth is better for the environment other than the use of paper towels.

    One other area that is extremely important with the certification is that my team and my customers will know exactly the reason why we use such products and not those with harsh chemicals.  Many of these chemicals are toxic and can cause personal physician damage. Also there might be people who are not aware of the serious damages these toxic chemicals can cause. And having a certification will help to support my explanation beyond giving a generic statement that these chemicals are bad for us and the environment. I will be equip with the professional language.

    To be green certified will also give me the knowledge to confidently do research and learn about what additional products and techniques I would like to support the sustainability of our environment. I will not only be relying on the marketing jargon of companies, but I will be relying on the information I learned from getting certified. This will help me to explain the specific product purchase choices I make or recommend to my staff and to customers.

    For the reasons listed above, these are the reasons I believe being green cleaning certified will be a benefit to my company.  This certification will help me further develop my team’s skills on green products, it will help them understand the reason we can eliminate germs without toxic chemicals, and confidently help me select certain products and not fall prey to marketing gimmicks from cleaning companies.

    Sometimes we often forget how the chemicals we use harm our environment and the creatures who live in it. Green cleaning products have a positive impact on protecting the earth and providing a safe habitat for the creatures that live on it. Green cleaning products is another word for "natural products". These natural products are made from the earth and can be used to disinfect and sanitize our homes, facilities and more. The world should not suffer from us using hazardous chemical to clean.

    Using green cleaning products are not only safe for the earth and its creatures, but it reduce health risks for the people that are using these products. Green cleaning products are environment friendly, affordable, and natural. Most people do not realize that when recycling we separately throw away bottles, cans, plastic and paper. However, are we really doing all we can to protect the earth and its creatures? What about the chemicals that we are using in our gardens, homes, cars and etc? Hazardous chemicals are destroying our environment and produce a high risk of health issues right under our nose. 

    My goal is to implement green cleaning to one of my cleaning services to be able to serve my clients with different types of cleaning methods. Green cleaning will be beneficial to implement due to the fact that some of my clients have children or health issues to where some chemicals can be too strong and environmentally friendly. Some benefits of green cleaning are using safer products, purer environment, better quality, less expensive and to gain more knowledge on healthier ingredients. Green cleaning products do not contain hazardous chemicals and are more likely to reduce health risk.

    Green cleaning products are proven to be safer to use in households and commercial areas. It is also proven to have a better impact on the environment.

    Last week you began to feel sick.  You started feeling very fatigued and had a fever. You began to feel nauseous with a pain in your abdomen and even though you had no appetite you forced yourself to eat, only to vomit up your meal. Your urine was dark, too dark for all the fluids you were drinking and your stool looked gray like creek clay.  Something was wrong, really wrong. 

    You contacted your doctor, maybe they could get you into the office next week, but you explained your symptoms and suddenly there was a sense of urgency because they could see your right away.  After arriving at the office a battery of tests were given, blood was drawn. The doctor came in to see you, and like a detective solving a crime began questioning you about your symptoms. The doctor asks your occupation and you reply ‘Terminal Cleaning Specialist”.  The next question takes you off guard, have you had any contact with bloodborne pathogens? 

    Then you remember, two months ago, that even while gloved up, you had pushed down on trash marked biohazard and received a pin prick in your palm.  It was just a slight sting, but you thought nothing of it. You tell your doctor of this.  And his diagnosis makes you feel light headed and tingly in a bad way.  Your doctor thinks you have contracted Hepatitis B.  The doctor will put you on antivirals until the results return in 1 - 3 weeks.  If it comes back positive for HBV, there is a vaccine, but in the meanwhile you will continue to feel sick, even though the medicine should start to help. You're sent home to rest, no work until results come back…what will you do for income? 

    You thought you had followed all the right steps, this wasn't your first rodeo, you have been cleaning for years. You knew about Blood Borne Pathogens, micro-organisms that could make you sick. You had washed up, gloved up, masked up even put on those gowns and booties. But it was that one mistake of pushing down on the trash and that second mistake of not telling your supervisor.

    Had you only remembered your training this wouldn’t be your reality.

    There is no overemphasis on the need to keep a well uptodate precautionary measure against Bloodborne infections. Though today's health challenge is against the Covid-19 pandemic, Bloodborne infections are still plaquing lives. Being considered as microorganisms pathogenic in nature and present in human blood susceptible to causing infections.  With the number of homeless and overcrowding the few existing shelters in my city. i got interested in learning more about bloodborne pathogen control. There are reportedly high cases of addictions, fights and blood spills on the scenes, toilets and hallways. Cleaning should be done by well trained personnel applying universal precautionary measures. This is to ensure personnel and other users onsite from contaminations of bloodborne diseases like hepatitis B virus and HIV.  After this training i certify to be proficient in my practice in the cleaning business.
