As a cleaner, it is imperative to your safety and those around you to be aware of possible dangers and take precautions. Bloodborne Pathogens such as HBV, HCV, and HIV may be present in blood but also other bodily fluids. In order to prevent infection to yourself or the spread to others, follow OSHA Standards such as the ones discussed in this article.

When working around potential Bloodborne Pathogens, always assume the blood or bodily fluid is infectious. Be sure to use Personal Protective Equipment such as gloves and goggles when cleaning up bodily fluids. Furthermore, avoid eating, drinking, smoking, or applying cosmetics such as lip balm when working in potentially dangerous areas. 

In the event you feel you may have come in contact with blood or other bodily fluids, contact your supervisor immediately. Be sure to communicate the Post Exposure plan and take all steps necessary. These steps are crucial to prevent the spread of infections and disease and should always be taken seriously. 

      With regards to Bloodborne Pathogens there is no more effective way to protect yourself and those around you, than to be proactive. Thinking re-actively is not only careless, but it can also be the difference between life and death. It is imperative that all cleaning personnel follow the OSHA standard, when dealing with Bloodborne Pathogens.

        Personal protective equipment, as well as effective cleaning solutions are crucial to not only your own protection, but it helps prevent the spread of Bloodborne Pathogens. The personal protective equipment protects the cleaner and the cleaning solutions protect the environment. Proper cleaning techniques are also very important. 

         Speaking of proper cleaning techniques, one thing not mentioned in the video is dwell time. Whether you're using a bleach solution, one of the recommended solutions from the video or the like, you MUST give each product the proper dwell time or contact time, for the solution to be most effective. Knowing what Bloodborne Pathogens are, how to protect yourself and the contaminated environment around you can truly be the difference between life and death.

Workers that clean for a living, such as janitors, housekeepers and maids might not be the first professions that come to mind when you think of hazardous jobs. Still these workers have the potential to encounter deadly illnesses every single day. 

The workers most at risk are in hospitals, nursing homes, clinics, laboratories, but also they could be exposed working in any other facility, such as schools and daycares. Bloodborne Pathogens (BBP) can be contacted in various ways and they pose a dangerous risk for cleaner’s health. These viruses such as Hepatitis C (HCV) and B (HBV) and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) are also considered carcinogenic to humans.

Identifying and communicating these risk factors in the workplace, as well as educating the cleaning workers and staff how to prevent injuries and avoid contamination, is not only extremely important and imperative but can also save lives.
