In the cleaning industry, more than ever, employees are being exposed to bloodborne pathogens. While cleaning a restroom at a health clinic, school, or a commercial building. People are gross, it's a public restroom and don't care how they leave it...  One doesn't think twice about being exposed or not. Especially, when it becomes a daily routine.

Customer Service.   It seems simple enough, however it is truly the cornerstone of any companies success.   Let us focus on the two words Customer and Service.

Customer.   No longer is a customer just a person from whom a company receives money.  A customer is a client, a reference, a valued resource, and an amazing source of potentially FREE promotion.  A customer is an individual or busisness with whom a great relationship has been cultivated.  Time, dedication, integrity, and trust has been used and/or established.  Respect has been cultivated and earned.   The customer has the potential to, in this social media and social media influencer culture, to respond to the world at large favorably.

Service.   To actively serve.  When one serves the customer, it is an opportunity to help the client/customer create an atmosphere and enviroment that helps to promote their business venture.  To serve the customer is the help alleviate stress and worries and replace them with confidence and excitement.  To serve the customer is to show them THEY are a priority and worth time.

Employees must practice utilizing personal protective equipment and read any safety labels on any chemicals used.  Cleaning employee’s might be responsible for cleaning up bodily fluids such as blood and have to be aware of the safety precautions one must make to avoid hazardous diseases and cross contamination. Cleaning Employee’s, play an important role in preventing or reducing contact with Bloodborne pathogens to others as well as themselves. They are held responsible for proving a safe, clean, and healthy environment.

Employees responsible for throwing out trash, cleaning up body fluid, handling laundry are exposed to potential disease that can be life threatening. Some of the disease that employees are exposed to is Hepatitis B virus and HIV/AIDS. Employees can be exposed to infectious materials when the blood borne pathogens comes in contact with an employee’s mucus membrane such as the mouth, nose, and open cuts. Employees should follow universal precautions such as wearing mask, gloves, and handling any body fluids as potentially infectious to minimize the risk of being exposed to any Bloodborne pathogens.

It is very important that Employee’s are educated on how to properly decontaminate an area by using the appropriate disincentive cleaner and how to properly label items that might be harmful to themselves and others. If an employee is exposed to any Bloodborne pathogen they must immediately notify a supervisor and their health care provider. Business owners should train and educate their employees on following OSHA blood borne pathogen safety precautions and provide a written OSHA exposure control plan.

As a Surgical Technologist I am familiar with OSHA standards on BBP but as a new owner/operator of a Medical cleaning company I see the importance of all my employees are trained on how to stay safe around medical waste.

Hand hygiene is the most important and easiest way to stay safe.Wearing PPE can seem unnecessary but all these standards keeps everyone safe from exposure from viruses, bacteria and diseases. 

It is important to lead by example and follow the training to minimize exposure.

After studying for the Bloodborne Pathogens test, I have come to understand the importance of educating myself and my employees. 

As a cleaner, one is subjected to coming into contact with harmful pathogens on a daily basis.  Proper training is crucial to the health and safety of yourself and employees.

Being prepared to take control and handle dangerous exposures to bloodborne pathogens is essential to the health and safety of everyone that is subjected to become in direct contact.  Knowing how to protect yourself before attempting to clean an area that is contaminated should be a priority in educating one self about bloodborne pathogens. 

It's very important to understand the risks and hazards of exposure to human blood and other bodily fluids.

Proper training ensures you are equipped with the knowledge of how to spot a potential hazard and what to do about it.

In the cleaning industry/profession there are many opportunities to come into contact with bloodborne pathogens. While it is more likely to come into play in some atmospheres more than others, it is extremely important for all employees in the cleaning industry to understand bloodborne pathogens, the risk associated with them, how to avoid them, and what the universal protections, as outlined by the CDC and OSHA regulations are as well as the appropriate way to implement them.

Bloodborne pathogens are microorganisms (IE viruses and bacteria) that are found in human blood and other bodily fluids. These pathogens have the potential to be transmitted causing disease through contact with mucus membranes, scratches, cuts, or needle sticks. A list of common pathogens includes but are not limited to Hepatitis B and C as well as HIV. All of these pathogens have the potential to take years to develop or become detectable, as well as debilitating side effects including severe liver damage and AIDS. In some cases, saliva and vomit may harbor bloodborne pathogens as well.

According to the CDC's universal approach "All patients should be considered potentially infectious, and precautions should be taken to minimize risk of exposure." Following this line of thought, any cleaning personal, especially, but not reserved to, those in healthcare settings should be aware of and take measures against all exposure to bloodborne pathogens.

THE BEST DEFENSE IS OFFENSE

To be offensive in the work environment Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is necessary. PPE encompasses many thing including gloves, masks, and eyeglasses. It is important to remove such PPE and dispose of it in appropriately labeled containers or color-coded bags after decontamination of an area, and then wash hands thoroughly to prevent the spread of pathogens, disease or infection. One should never eat, drink, smoke, apply lip balm, or touch face while working in an environment where there is a risk of exposure to bloodborne pathogens. It's very important to never compress trash, because it may contain contaminated material. Using tools to aid in clean up, such as tongs or absorbent sponges, is always preferred to limit touching of potentially infectious materials. Handling linens cautiously and always disinfecting cleaning containers after use is a must!

Following these protocols outlined by the CDC and OSHA will help to keep you and your employees safe. Let's all enjoy a clean and healthy work environment!
