Bloodborne Pathogens are microscopic organisms that are in human blood. They  cause disease/sickness in a human body. It is vital that all employees and staff be trained on how to prevent being contaminated from these pathogens.  There are OSHA standards to be met while working near or with bloodborne pathogens.

You should always use universal precautions when there is a possibility of being exposed to these BBP (bloodborne pathogens). You need to make sure you are always using the proper PPE (personal protective equipment) given to you by your employer.  This may very well save your life.

Your employer should always make sure there is a written OSHA Exposure Control Plan Manual available and he must maintain three years of records after an exposure has been reported.  You can learn more about safety standards at www.OSHA.gov.

“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” ~ Benjamin Franklin

In other words, it is better to stop something bad from happening than it is to deal with it after it has happened.

As janitorial professionals, we have a duty to prevent the spread of infection and to also protect ourselves in the process.  The best way to do that is through education of the Bloodborne Policies and Procedures.  Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is our last line of defense.

In order to protect employees from Bloodborne Pathogens (BBP), it is important to create a BBP Exposure Control Plan and implement policies and procedures for them to follow.  The BBP should be reviewed annually and updated as required.

Bloodborne Pathogens are microorganisms that may be present in human blood and cause disease such as HIV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C.  There are also other potentially infectious materials which include other body fluids, human tissues and cultures.  Since we are not certain of the infection status, we should assume that all materials are infectious and MUST follow Universal Precautions.

The presence of known biohazards must be communicated via warning signs and labels, as well as color coded containers.  The potential of occupational transmission includes puncture injuries such as needlesticks, scalpels, breaks in the skin or exposure via mucous membranes (ie. Eyes, nose or mouth)

In the event of exposure involving BBP, one should immediately implement the Post Exposure Protocol.
