The competing demands of speed and efficiency don't apply when it comes to custodial/janitorial services and potential bloodborne pathogens. Safety takes priority!

Every environment where there are lots of people going through on a regular basis needs to ensure that the janitorial/custodial staff are properly trained and equipped to handle potential biohazards. Bloodborne pathogens are potential everywhere. Some bloodborne pathogens are short-lived when exposed to the environment but some bloodborne pathogens survive longer periods and pose a greater risk of cross-contamination. 

Every environment can't be treated the same as they do not pose the same potential level of risk. The first step to taking on any new custodial or janitorial service contract is a risk assessment. Identify and categorize all of the potential types of risks. Ensure that risk mitigation processes and procedures are in place to handle the risks that are likely to occur. At a minimum, custodial/janitorial staff need to be trained to handle potential biohazards and provided the proper biohazard containment kits.

Janitorial and cleaning services employees should be aware of the dangers of bloodborne pathogens.  These pathogens may contain hepatitis B and/or HIV.  Certain procedures must be followed to protect yourself.

Personal protective equipment (PPE) must be worn when cleaning in an area where there is a risk of bloodborne pathogens.  PPE includes gowns, gloves and goggles. Hand washing is also a  critical step in protecting yourself.

When handling contaminated laundry, sharp objects and trash, certain protocols must be followed.  Laundry must be placed in a bag labeled or color coded.  All sharp objects must be put into a sharps container that this labeled and handles only sharp objects.  Trash should not be compressed and always handled as if there was blood inside.  

Proper focus on ensuring that customers are satisfied is essential in any business, and this is certainty true for cleaning companies as well. Cleaning and janitorial companies have both the potential to lose or gain clients based on the level of attention paid to customer service. A satisfied customer is likely to refer more business to a a company that is attentive to their needs while the opposite is true for a dissatisfied client. The key to good customer service is to be as attentive to the customer's needs as possible- the more the client feels that their issues or concerns are being listened to and addressed, the happier they will be. 

A huge advantage to a customer hiring a cleaning specialist through the IJCSA is that all companies place a huge emphasis on customer service.

"Why Is Properly Cleaning Healthcare Facilities So Important" 

There are at least 3 reasons why properly cleaning healthcare facilities is so important.  The primary reason is to keep individuals (patients, residents, staff, visitors) as healthy as possible.  To ensure the cleaning industry follows specific guidelines to reduce the risk of transferring infectious matter.  This is not a fail-proof method, because unless rooms and equipment are disinfected continuously throughout the day – infectious matter can easily be spread.  Unless visitors and staff wear protective wear, they too can inadvertently transfer infectious matter.

Example: a room has just been cleaned and sanitized or the restroom has been disinfected.  A visitor or the patient/resident coughs or sneezes without covering their mouth or into their hand(s).  Infectious matter can now be spread unknowingly through touching (bedding material, remote control, flooring, coffee cup, shaking hand, fist bump, etc.) https://www.ijcsa.org/Janitorial-Service-Directory-Find-A-Janitorial-Service-JanitorialServices

A secondary reason is the cost associated with additional sickness caused by the transfer of infectious matter.  “The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that approximately 1 in 20 patients will acquire an infection during a stay in a healthcare setting where they are receiving medical or surgical treatment. These healthcare-associated infections (HAI) result in nearly $33 billion dollars in preventable healthcare costs per year.

With Medicare and Medicaid payments now tied to how well healthcare providers protect patients from hospital-acquired infections, reducing HAIs has become an even larger priority for healthcare facilities.”

A tertiary reason, is physical appearance.  If a room/area is not kept in clean and organized manner, it can become challenging to identify possible hazards, such as, spills on flooring, frayed carpet, or electrical cords running under carpets/rugs.  These can cause unintended slips or falls causing injury to patient, visitor, staff or contractor.
