    All cleaning employees everywhere come in contact with a bodily fluid of some sort whether they realize or not so for the safety of everyone involved it is important to have knowledge of bloodborne pathogens.

    It is critical for cleaning employees and staff to know about bloodborne pathogens to ensure the safety and well-being of themselves and anyone else who can potentially become exposed to contamination from bloodborne pathogens. Staff having this knowledge can help to ensure their personal safety, the safety of others by eliminating the spread of contaminants, and maintaining awareness of the signs of potential exposure to bloodborne pathogens.

    Employees having the proper awareness of potential bloodborne pathogens and how to handle situations of potential exposure will be better educated and equipped on the proper steps to take to minimize and potentially eliminate the threat of hazardous exposure. Knowing how to recognize bloodborne pathogens, how to properly clean and dispose of them, and how to keep safe with the proper use of sanitizing agents and PPE will decrease if not eliminate the potential health and safety risks of exposure.

    Along with employees keeping themselves safe from the hazards of exposure to bloodborne pathogens, having knowledge of them will also allow them to effectively stop the spread of these contaminants. Knowing how to properly sanitize and dis-infect contaminated materials and surfaces, and to properly and safely organize and dispose of  them will greatly decrease the possibility of these contaminants being spread. 

    Along with having a working knowledge of the potential risks of bloodborne pathogens and how to handle them once they have been identified, employees having this knowledge will keep these potential issues at the forefront of each employee's mindset. They will be more likely to engage in all cleaning and working functions in a cautious manner which will allow them to recognize these hazards before it is too late to avoid risk. 

    In conclusion, cleaning employees and staff having knowledge of bloodborne pathogens will help to ensure the safety and well-being of anyone who may potentially be at risk of exposure.

    As stated on the website and training. 

    It is important for cleaning employees and staff to know about bloodborne pathogens because anyone exposed to them are at risk for serious or life-threatening illnesses. Bloodborne pathogens are infectious microorganisms present in blood that can cause disease in humans. The pathogens include hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the virus that causes AIDS.  

    An employer is required by law to provide employees with bloodborne pathogens training.  This will ensure that the employee understands how to use safe practices when handling potentially hazardous materials such as blood, vomit, and bodily fluids.  It protects workers who can reasonably be anticipated to come into contact with them as a result of doing their job duties. 

    Once the employee is trained on bloodborne pathogens, they will understand the employers responsibility to provide them with personal protective equipment, hepatitis vaccinations and post exposure treatment free of charge to them.  They will also understand the steps to take to report a potential exposure to the employer

    Employer's in the cleaning industry should be taking proper precautions due to risk of staff exposure to bloodborne pathogens. The risk of infection is higher for cleaners as they are exposed to blood and other body fluids due to their jobs.

    The way to prevent this is to provide the proper bloodborne pathogens safety certification class.

    It's the employers responsibility to provide employees with PPE and a safe place to work.

       Wow, IJCSA has truly changed my perspective on customer service. We all know that being polite is important, but understanding how and what actually works requires a new level of knowledge. Customer service is at the core of any company, and in the cleaning industry, it is crucial that customers can perceive your demeanor while you are speaking to them in person or over the phone.

       Customer service may provide us as a cleaning company the ability to keep the clients we now have while easily attracting and acquiring new ones. IJCSA's customer service training offered me the skills to resolve any problems, please clients, and simply figure out how to keep them around so I can expand my business.

    Knowing and understanding these transmission methods is an important part of bloodborne pathogens training requirements. If you know these methods, you can protect yourself and others when working with infected people or fluids.
