We now live in a time of uncertainty, where no one knows any one truly. This comes down to the point of keeping clean. It is extremely important to practice proper and safe measures when dealing with any kind of cleaning or emergency response. Its not just cleaning, put on gloves and go. There is a safety protocol to follow as well as a step by step guide to protect employees, and owners.
With cleaning normally comes a punch list. Step 1- completion of job. Each punch list should start with what type of clean are we dealing with, what is the severity, what caused it. Ultimately, gloves and mask are first thing. Also depending on what is being cleaned and the process may require extra PPE. But gloves and a face mask are key at a minimum.
We don't walk into a job without proper safety gear. With virus's and disease such as HIV, HBV, Hepatitis, and so forth some things are very important. Such as not pushing down on trash, and being cautious about tight areas as theres no way of telling if there is a syringe or something that can puncture skin. If someone else is sick or there are body fluids present, sanitization is key. In a situation such as that each staff member would need to be suited with PPE gear to prevent catching or transferring something, or getting injured or sick themselves.
We as people are social, with that comes the inherent risk of cross contamination. To prevent this all staff should be trained in exercising protocols from beginning to decontamination of themselves before getting into a vehicle, eating, drinking, smoking etc.
