Janitors and Janitorial Staff are just as important as the rest of the employees of an organization. The Janitors and Janitorial staff work to ensure that all employees and clients have a safe and clean environment. The Janitorial staff is taking care of the work that often goes unnoticed initially, but can leave a negative or positive impact for the organization overall.

The Janitors take the necessary safety precautions to properly clean the facilities, especially the restrooms, eating areas and rooms to prevent the spread of germs. Following the guidelines of the MSDS and PPE protocol also protects the janitorial staff and promotes a safe work environment.

The Janitors and Janitorial companies that are certified by IJCSA are trained on the proper precautions to take when cleaning and disinfecting restrooms, offices, schools and other facilities to prevent the spread of Bloodborne pathogens. The Custodial Janitorial Certification and Course are approved by the OSHA guidelines.

Individual precaution and safety is very important for employees who deals with equipment and other materials that come in contact with blood. Knowing the processes to take when cleaning and disposing the materials is important to the safety and health of those who are doing the cleaning and also those they may come in contact with.

If the procedures of disposing or packaging the materials correctly is ignored, the bloodborne pathogens could be spread and cause a massive situation that could have been avoided if the rules and guidelines were followed properly.

The cleaning and care when dealing with bloodborne pathogens when done correctly will make sure that the safety of the cleaning employees, their family, and surrounding associates will be protected also. Making sure that hands are washed and reporting of any incidents will isolate the matter and initiate great precautions that will eventually prove itself successful in preventing major issues.

Please consider the environment before the use of dangerous chemicals.

It is important for cleaning employees and cleaning companies to understand how to protect themselves when dealing with blood borne pathogens. The cleaning employees are responsible to disinfect and clean areas where there was possible exposure of hazardous materials and pathogens to protect other employees and others around them.

The use of PPEs, Universal Precautions and OSHA guidelines ensure that the cleaning employees are properly discarding materials, human waste, needles or anything that came into contact with blood. These guidelines outline how to properly label the type of waste using color coded bins and and how to disinfect the materials used to clean the potentially infected area.

In the event of potential exposure to blood borne pathogens, the employees have to immediately inform their employer and follow the proper protocols to prevent potential spread. Once an Occupational Exposure has been recorded it has to be followed up and make sure to monitor new symptoms to prevent the spread to another employee or to the clients.

It is very important in this current climate that we are especially mindful of the health of our clients. It is our job to provide a clean and safe environment, and using the  proper techniques every time helps ensure the safety of those in our care. 

Using the right chemicals and procedures for potentially hazardous materials greatly reduces the risk of spreading infection to our clients and our loved ones. 

It is never acceptable to cut corners when pathogens are involved. We have to remember it’s not just our health at risk. We not only owe it to our clients, but we owe it to ourselves to take these risks seriously, and act appropriately. 

   We all have them, whether they are in our homes, schools, or at our offices. Our daily cleaners or as we all know them janitors or maids are the ones that keep our every day lives going smoothly. Now, don't get me wrong i'm not say that they do it all by themselves but what i am saying without these people our daily lives would be a lot harder and a lot longer.

   Your at your math class at Sacramento State and its 12 noon the toilets flood and its a mess everywhere. What do you do? You let the closes janitor on duty and they will go try to resolve the problem at hand. If the problem is bigger then they are trained for they are able to let the school know so they can make a call to have someone come in a fix it. Usually the janitor on hand will have signs, caution tape, plugers, or even a snake to unclog the pipes.

   Its 8pm and you have been in the office all day trying to make sure you have you bid typed for your boss by 9 am meeting...who do you hear coming down the hall nobody but Joe the janitor coming to make you smile and tell you a joke and tell you that you got this just like he always has every night for pass 5 years.....Janitors become part of you family part of your heart...they make sure the floors are dry to you don't get hurt. It depends on what kind of building you work in but it could be the difference between touching something or a surface that had a bloodborne pathogen on it or any bodily flood on it and get sick. you couldn't eat in your school or work cafeteria if wasn't for your daily janitorial workers.
