   People may believe bloodborne pathogen cleanup is only necessary in medical settings, but that is not the case. Wherever humans are, bloodborne pathogens could be present. It’s important to treat all blood as if it contains potentially harmful bloodborne pathogens that could cause disease. Proper cleanup methods should always be used to protect yourself and others
 
  Bloodborne pathogens are infectious microorganisms carried in the blood, including HIV and hepatitis B and C, that can cause serious, long-term illnesses. They are spread through exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials

The OSHA standard for bloodborne pathogens applies to manufacturing facilities or any workplace where employees might have job-related contact with blood or other potentially infectious materials.

The OSHA standard requires workplaces to put an exposure control plan into place, defining roles where exposure might take place and steps that will be taken after an exposure incident.

Workers can be protected from exposure to bloodborne pathogens using universal precautions, engineering and work practice controls, personal protective equipment (PPE), and housekeeping.

Customer service is a key component of the janitorial and cleaning industry. This is why all members of the IJSCA make it a priority to understand exactly what their customers need. Our Members listen, understand and then always make sure the customer is cared for and that their needs are 100% taken care of. 

To ensure IJSCA members consistently adhere to the highest levels of customer service we ask our members to remember three key principles. Firstly, always listen to the customer. By listening, IJSCA members can then accomplish the second principle which is to fully understand what their customer’s specific needs are. By accomplishing these our members can deliver the most important principle which is providing the customer with the right solution each and every time.

It is important to keep your home and office clean. But you can never be too clean in my eyes. You could also incorporate a "deeper" cleaning process by implementing medical cleaning practices in these areas.

By doing this, it could make a huge difference in the amount of harmful bacteria, germs, and viruses across the world. If we could implement the basics of the healthcare and medical facility cleaning procedures, it would stop the spreading of infections and diseases everywhere. Even possibly could have made a difference with the unfortunate Covid-19 issues we are dealing with today.

The little changes that could be made, as far as disinfecting high touch areas such as door knobs, handles, keyboards, etc. often throughout the day are great ways to implement medical cleaning practices in areas outside of these facilities. With the proper employee training, this can be achieved.

All workers in general--and health and cleaning professionals in particular--need to be aware of potential health hazards and take preventative measures to protect themselves and others. This article focuses on the best practices for minimizing exposure to bloodborne pathogens such as Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). 

It is important to approach any situation involving blood (and certain other body fluids) with universal precaution; that is, consider all blood to be potentially infectious, then take precautions to minimize the risk of exposure. Taking universal precaution is the smart, respectful and caring way to prevent the spread of human disease by bloodborne pathogens. OSHA has formalized this standard of behavior by requiring a Bloodborne Pathogens Exposure Control Plan for any workplace with reasonable expectation of exposure. If you are an employee in such a workplace, be sure to read your plan. If you are a cleaning professional, always use universal precaution and be sure to observe the following practices.

When your job frequently brings you into potential contact with body fluids, always use protective practices. Your best plan of attack is to arm yourself with readily available equipment in good condition, to strategically avoid increasing risk, and to achieve containment and decontamination. Always use appropriate gear: disposable gloves, eye protection, face masks, tongs to pick up sharp objects that may be contaminated, and spill kits to absorb body fluids. Avoid endangering actions: never smoke, eat, drink or apply lip balm in areas of possible exposure; never manually compress filled trash bags; never reuse a sponge or towel used for infectious cleanup; handle contaminated laundry as little as possible; and never splash or splatter during cleanup. To effectively achieve decontamination, remove clean and disinfect both the areas affected and the equipment used for cleaning; remove and dispose of protective equipment in labeled infectious waste containers; and thoroughly wash your hands.

If you feel you have been exposed to bloodborne pathogens, notify your supervisor and follow your in-house protocol. Because HBV and HIV symptoms may not appear until even years after the exposure incident, contact your health care provider immediately if you think you are at risk.

The intent of the rule form OSHA is to reduce the risk of on-the-job exposure to blood and other infectious materials that may contain bloodborne pathogens. OSHA standards are meant to protect employees from potentially hazardous and infectious materials by using a blend of personal hygiene, personal protective equipment, work placement training and practices. Putting all of this together and following the OSHA standards and precautions greatly reduces the risk of contracting and transmitting bloodborne diseases.

The current OSHA standard requires that engineering controls must be used where they will reduce employee exposure either by removing, elimination or isolation the hazard. This places a larger responsibility on the employer to identify positions or tasks that are covered by the standard and develop a system of annual training for all covered employees. (pg. 10-11 Blood Borne Pathogens Training; American Red Cross) Because there are specific guidelines that employers are regulated to em place, employees know how to handle soiled equipment and supplies which insure that they are properly cleaned and disinfected.

Following the precautions usually removes at least one of four conditions necessary for disease transmission. For any disease to be spread, including bloodborne diseases all four of the following conditions much be met: a pathogen is present, there is enough present to cause disease, the pathogen passes through the correct entry site and, a person is susceptible to the pathogen. If one of these conditions is missing than the infection will not occur. (pg. 5 BloodBorne Pathogens, American Red Cross) Because the necessary training and information is provided for employees working in these positions that could possibly put them in contact with infectious materials it is critical
