Paramount to cleaning touch surfaces; knowledge and training about bloodborne pathogens (BBP) and protecting yourself and staff members when coming into contact must be universal and transparent. This article will explain the  importance of bloodborne pathogen training and how it effects the quality, health, and safety of those exposed in a cleaning setting. 

Several setting will potentially put a cleaning technician in direct contact with bloodborne pathogens such as, blood, vomit, urine, saliva, etc.   Most notably, hospitals and healthcare settings will have some of the greatest chances for this to occur. Other settings where exposure to BBP can occur are: schools, residential/commercial/restoration cleaning crews , garbage collectors, to name a few. In order to ensure safety and quality, every staff member and or employee who may come into contact with BBP's must be trained in identifying and properly disposing of and or cleaning materials contaminated with BBP.

Consequently, wearing proper personal protector equipment (PPE) while cleaning or sanitizing is the best way to prevent accidental exposure to these bio-hazards.  As each employee is trained in what BBP's are they must also be educated in best practices for cleaning and sanitizing. Equally important are PPE used to reduce exposure, such as: goggles, splash guard/face shields, respirators, gloves--chemical resistant, aprons or suits, and most importantly taking care to avoid needle sticks or punctures, and reporting any accidents to their appropriate supervisor.

As a final step, thorough hand washing, avoiding facial touching, and wearing masks will ensure protection against illnesses and exposure to potentially life threatening toxins.  Following these practices will ensure transparency across quality, health, safety of each cleaning staff member, and utilizing best industry cleaning practices.

It is very important for our staff to know about bloodborne pathogens. The staff are on the frontline of interacting with potential dangerous and terminal diseases. They have to know what they are encountering and how to deal with those situations. They need to have the support of our company to teach them. It is our responsibility and the law to do this.

There are potential dangerous and deadly diseases that can come from bloodborne pathogens and bodily fluids. The most well known ones are HIV, AIDS and Hepatitis. These can severely impact the lives of people who get these illnesses. It is vital that we protect our employees by giving them the proper training and instruction on bloodborne pathogens. Their lives are at stake if we dont properly train them.

Many times there is alot more to know about bloodborne pathogens than the general public knows. There are many myths that can be dangerous if the staff dont have the proper instruction. Furthermore if we neglect our duty to protect our employees we may be financially liable. We could lose our business and livelihood over not properly training our employees regarding bloodborne pathogens. They need to know about this because one failed misstep can change their entire future and ours too.

It is imperative that we listen to you the customer. By listening closely we'll be able to determine what it is you want us to do to resolve any problem. We prefer to take a team approach to any complaints. 

A complaint comes in many forms and from many different sources; be it a trash can that wasn't emptied to soap dispensers that weren't filled to poor behavior by employees. Therefore, our first plan of attack is to ensure we understand the precise nature of the complaint. If need be, we will visit the job site to see why you are unhappy and take care of the problem immediately.

If we happen to solve the problem before figuring out the root cause of the problem, we will go back and figure out the cause. Once we know the cause we will decide on a preventative course of action so the problem does not happen again.

Bloodborne pathogens can be encountered by a janitorial agency on a regular basis depending on the cleaning site. We must be aware and knowledgeable on the Universal Precautions when it comes to bloodborne pathogens. These precautions can be the difference between life and death, which we hope to avoid the death. Taking the proper steps when approaching potentially infectious environments should be known and taken advantage of.

Cleaning employees should be educated on these Universal Precautions free of charge when employed by the cleaning company. Teaching your employees how to protect themselves in and infectious environment should be your main priority. No employee should be at risk due to lack of education when it is readily available. Sometimes approaching these bodily fluids can be troubling, however it is fairly easy.

All employees of the cleaning company should wear proper PPE at all times. We must use the proper BETCO disinfectants when cleaning the infected area and reusable equipment like mop buckets. Employees should report all potential incidents where bloodborne pathogens could have infected them. It is our responsibility to know and follow the Universal Precautions. Not only for our safety, but for the safety and well being of others.
