    We as employers are responsible for ensuring that workers are protected from exposure to deadly diseases. Also well as ensure workers are not exposed to harmful levels of chemicals used for cleaning and disinfection. Reading and understanding OSHA is a major factor in the cleaning business. Knowing what's required helps reduce accidents and increase knowledge to properly controlling any incidents that may occur. 

    Per OSHA Guidelines we train our staff to immediately clean and disinfect any visible surface contamination from blood, urine, feces, vomit, or other body fluids. Isolate areas of suspected contamination until decontamination is completed to minimize exposure to individuals not performing the work. Ensure adequate ventilation in areas where workers are using disinfectants, including by opening windows and doors, or using mechanical ventilation equipment.

    If we can follow those guidelines and a few others from OSHA my staff and those of our clients will stay safe. Carefully removal of bags with needles and syringes that could possibly be contaminated with HIV and HBV diseases. With the proper knowledge to collect and dispose of properly can maintain a healthier life for us all.

    It is important to make sure that your employees as well as yourself are properly trained in Bloodborne Pathogens due to high exposure risks. Janitors have a high risk of exposure due to the type of work they perform. Knowing the proper procedure for the use of PPE, proper procedure for handling Bio-Hazard items as well as Blood spill clean ups.

    Your employees health and overall well being are your main concern. It is very important to train employees to detect when they are working in a potentially hazardous environment and what objects may put them at risk and what they can do to protect themselves. 

    Your employees should also know what to do incase of a potential exposure. They will know how to determine the exposure level and how to follow through on reporting the exposure. It is the employers duty to make sure all employees with the risk of being exposed are knowledgeable about BBP to keep a healthy.

    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.
