It very important for every cleaner to know and understand what bloodborne pathogens are and what they need to do in order not to get infected and protected themselves. Cleaners move from one office to the other and from one residence to the other.

Cleaners must take extra care of how they handle bodily fluids and blood stained materials as well as surfaces. Cleaners should not assume that it safer for them to handle anyway soiled material either by blood or any other bodily fluid any how but should do that with caution. It is required that cleaners be trained on BB pathogens even if their exposure is next to nothing.

It is very important for cleaners to handle trash with caution and know  what it means to be exposed to the pathogens so they can take care of themselves. We know that HBV and HIV can be contracted through sexual contact, sharing of hypodermic needles, open cuts, and abrasions etc.  

Every one of Big River Janitorial`s employees are trained in the importance of following OSHA`s Bloodborne Pathogen Standards and are re-trained yearly
