    Medical cleaning practices use a number of practical tools and guidelines to combat the transfer of bacteria, bloodborne pathogens, germs, microorganisms, and viruses.  These practices may be applied to residential and commercial spaces.

    The transfer of potentially infectious microorganisms occurs with hand contact to high-touch surfaces or infected persons.  Therefore, the initial step to implement infection control is to adhere to and teach good hand hygiene. Washing the hands regularly, with soap and water, for 20 seconds or more, will reduce to spread of contagious diseases.  When Soap and water is not readily available, apply an alcohol based hand sanitizer. 

    Cleaning is the physical process of removing bacteria, dirt, germs, and viruses typically using soap and water. It’s the necessary first step of any residential or commercial infection control procedure.  The physical action of rubbing/scrubbing any object with a cleaning agent will lower the risk of spreading infection.  Once the obvious debris is removed, a disinfectant or sanitizer may be used.

    Disinfecting uses chemicals to kill a broad spectrum of pathogens/germs and can lower the risk of spreading diseases. Disinfecting the home or workplace may be achieved with cleaning agents readily found in the grocery store.  Once a week, if not daily, wipe down the high-touch surfaces (door handles/knobs, faucet handles, toilet flush handles).  If ever feasible, remove tiles, and sanitize/deep clean carpets to eliminate the exposure to microorganisms that may have carried in from an infected area.

    The risk to bloodborne pathogen exposure is important to understand in both our professional and personal lives.  Ensuring that our employees receive training on how to handle potentially contaminated materials and cleanup of bodily fluid release in a safe manner is extremely important to our organization.  We strive to illustrate our commitment to our employee's safety by ensuring that each employee has the opportunity to get their questions answered so that when presented with this situation they are confident in their ability to respond.

     

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's "Universal Precaution" approach should be the standard of each employee in our organization.  Understanding that when walking into a situation the employee should assume that they are at risk to exposure to bloodborne pathogens is the best way to ensure that the employee will take every precaution to minimize transmission.

     

    The protective practices illustrated in this training provide a foundation for the mindset our team will adopt around the handling of bloodborne pathogen exposure.  Each employee will be expected to own the responsibility of minimizing transmission to bloodborne pathogens by following the personal safety guidelines in this training.  Each individual taking that responsibility ensures that the team will have a safety focused mindset and take active roles in mitigating bloodborne pathogen transmission.
