    One major benefits from implementing a green cleaning program is for health reasons. Many people often find themselves using hazardous cleaners and disinfectants, containing synthetic chemicals. Products containing these hazards can lead to health risks such as irritation of the skin, fatigue, headaches, and a lot more. Green cleaning can improve the health of building occupants, reduce pollution and sick days. Consumers and laborers will be able to reduce exposure to these harsh chemicals by using more ecologically-friendly products. Therefore, it is very beneficial to one’s health to include green cleaning in their cleaning program. 

    One way I can implement a green cleaning program into my business is by gaining suitable knowledge on the different products, applying the appropriate cleaning techniques where required, and finally replacing all hazardous products containing chemicals with green cleaning mixtures of my own. A specific example of this is replacing my surface disinfectant spray with baking soda and white vinegar. The baking soda can be used as a non-abrasive cleaner for surfaces and the vinegar serves as an acidic liquid that cuts stains and removes odors. The baking soda provides grit for scrubbing and also reacts well with the vinegar to help speed up the cleaning process. The combination of these two green products will serve as the perfect tool to transition to green cleaning.

    Bloodborne pathogens are microorganisms that are infectious and can contaminate other humans. 5.6 million workers are at risk of being exposed to bloodborne pathogens and all occupational exposure puts workers at risk for infection. Exposure occurs when the pathogen comes into contact with the employees mucus membranes or breaks in the skin. 

    Always use Universal Precaution and treat all blood and body fluids from all patients as infectious, and make sure precautions are taken to minimize exposure. Wear the proper PPE. Never eat, drink, smoke, or apply lib balm in an area that could be infected. Never manually compress trash as sharp objects or needles may be hidden inside. Never reuse sponges or towels that have been used for infectious cleanup. Use tongs or other mechanical means to pick up dropped sharps. Handle contaminated laundry as little as possible with as little agitation as possible. Sharp objects and needles may be hidden in the laundry. When cleaning a spill do so in a way that won't cause splash or spatter. Use appropriate cleaners and wash hands with antibacterial soap. Make sure to disinfect any equipment following use. 

    62-88% of SHARPS injuries are preventable. Cleaning professionals need to be educated in bloodborne pathogen risks as an important part of their training. The best defense is a thorough offense.

    Bloodborne pathogens are micro-organisms that transmit serious illness and diseases. These diseases include, but are not limited to, HBV (Hepatitis B Virus) and HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus). These diseases are not visible to the human eye, and may be contracted in any environment with substantial risk of Blood-borne Pathogen exposure, such as hospitals. Properly educating staff on the risks of these diseases is the first step to prevention.

    Most likely methods of contact with these viruses, that many may be first unaware of, include but are not limited to; garbage, laundry, and cleaning up after sick personnel. As such, staff should be educated on proper approaches to handling task that may render potential exposure hazards. Garbage should never be manually compressed, as needles or sharp infectious material could potentially stab or cut the person, potentially causing exposure. Laundry that is infected with bodily fluids should always be treated as highly dangerous and bagged and labeled separately in an orange or red bag marked bio-hazard. When cleaning up after an individual who is ill, especially if there is vomit or other bodily fluids, the cleaner must take the utmost caution to avoid spraying/splattering chemicals that may spread the infected environment. 

    Staff should also receive HBV Vaccination within 10 days of receiving an assignment that has a high risk of Bloodborne pathogen exposure. All job sites with this potential risk of exposure are required to have a written exposure control plan that must be updated annually. A copy must be distributed to any staff at their request. In the event a staff member is exposed to potential pathogens they should inform their employer and also consult a doctor immediately. Also in the event of exposure, an employer is required to maintain records of the incident for a minimum of 3 years.

    By following these steps to educate and inform staff and employees, we can mitigate the risk of infection and spread of disease.

    Nowadays we have different and better environmental techniques to build and if we have done this changes on the construction side, why not on the cleaning side?

    If we look to preserve the environment, we have to do it in every aspect. We want to provide a green cleaning to new buildings and a green janitorial plan to existing ones.
