    Bloodborne Pathogens are often present in cleaning situations whether that be in our own homes or a medical facility. It is very important to understand the impact they can have on our health.

    It is important to follow universal precautions when these Pathogens may be present. These include HIV,HBV, and HB. Following universal precautions includes wearing the proper personal protection equipment, such as gloves, masks, etc 

    OSHA has established these guidelines to prevent exposure.It is very important for employers to have a safety plan on hand if there is exposure, as the plan is already established and can prevent further harm to employees.

    The most important benefit knowing about the risks of bloodborne pathogens is employee's safety when it comes to cleaning a Health's Care Facility.

    I found this course helpful because as business owner knowing how to protect my employees from any contagious situation make my workforce healthy and safe therefore, more proactive and professional to their tasks.

    HBV, HIV, are threats that all of us in the cleaning industry should be aware and ready to stop the spread according to the OSHA regulations.

    When it comes to cleaning our homes and workplaces, many of us reach for familiar, widely available chemicals without giving much thought to their potential impact on our health and the environment. However, research suggests that these everyday cleaning chemicals can have serious harmful effects on human health and the environment. In contrast, green products offer a safer, more sustainable alternative.

    Health Risks Associated with Everyday Cleaning Chemicals

    Studies have linked exposure to common cleaning chemicals to various health problems, including respiratory issues, allergic reactions and even cancer (1). For example, a study published in the Journal of Exposure Science & Environmental Epidemiology found that women who used cleaning products regularly experienced reduced lung function (2). Additionally, many cleaning chemicals contain endocrine disruptors, which can interfere with hormone function and lead to reproductive issues (3).

    Environmental Impact

    Conventional cleaning products also pose a significant threat to the environment. Chemicals like ammonia, bleach and quaternary ammonium compounds (quats) can contaminate waterways, harming aquatic life and ecosystems (4). Furthermore, the production and disposal of these chemicals contribute to greenhouse gas emissions and waste management issues.

    Benefits of Green Products

    Green products, on the other hand, offer a healthier, more sustainable alternative. Made from natural, biodegradable ingredients, these products minimize environmental harm and reduce exposure to toxic chemicals. Some benefits of using green products include:

    • Reduced indoor air pollution

    • Lower risk of allergic reactions and respiratory issues

    • Environmentally friendly packaging and disposal

    • Sustainable sourcing and production practice

    • International Journal of Consumer Studies and Applications (IJCSA) have a directory with green companies you can find.

    Conclusion

    The risks associated with everyday cleaning chemicals are clear. By choosing green products, individuals can protect their health, reduce their environmental footprint and promote sustainable practices.

    Understanding the role that bloodborne pathogens play in the need for professional cleaning and the risk factors that cleaning personnel face is important. Firstly, understanding that what we are trying to “clean” is not always visible to the naked eye will help us to do a thorough job even when there doesn’t appear to be anything to clean. Secondly, we are more likely to consistently use universal precautions when we understand the risks to ourselves and our clients. Finally, we will select the right cleaning methods when we understand what we are trying to clean. This includes selecting the right methods of cleaning, the right tools, and the right chemicals.

    Understanding that what we are trying to “clean” is not always visible to the naked eye will help us to do a thorough job even when there doesn’t appear to be anything to clean. We’ve all worked with a coworker who tries to “make everything look good” but fails to actually sanitize and disinfect their areas. Often these individuals are trying to simplify their work load, and to get done faster. However, a thorough understanding that using Windex might make things bright and shiny, but does not get rid of bloodborne pathogens, mildew, molds, and other agents that might make our clients sick is critical. It is amazing to see the difference in a cleaning technician’s job performance when they realize that there is more to cleaning than shining things up.

    Additionally, once we realize that we are combating things we cannot see: microorganisms, bloodborne pathogens, viruses, and bacteria, we see the critical need to use universal precautions. Using things like PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), cleaning with the right kinds of tools (Such as disposable wipes instead of reusable sponges, etc.), and selecting the correct kind of chemical to address the potential contaminated area are essential. We gain a proper respect for the potential of contamination, cross-contamination, and infection. This leads us to understand that we need to utilize appropriate universal precautions to manage the risk and increase the safety of doing our cleaning work. Our role as professional cleaning technicians can improve the health of ourselves and others—it may even mean the difference between life and death in some instances.

    Finally, we will select the right cleaning methods when we understand what we are trying to clean. The understanding that COVID is resilient and highly contagious should motivate us to use the appropriate chemical, safety precautions, and to do a thorough job for our clients. Failure to use a cleaner that is approved to kill COVID, such as Clorox or Lysol cleaner, may only encourage the public to use areas that appear clean, but are not. This leads to the spread of disease and really a failure on the professional’s part to accomplish our very purpose—to get things clean and protect the public health. Because we understand that we can contribute to making ourselves and others sick, by not wearing masks, gloves and cleaning to the appropriate degree and with the appropriate methods, we develop standard methods of cleaning. These methods encourage thoroughness, ensure repeatable accuracy in addressing each area in the rooms we clean, and also ensure that we do everything within our power to select and use the appropriate methods to get things clean. We don’t want things to just “look” clean, but to actually be clean and sanitary. Additionally, when the staff of the entities we clean in understand what we are trying to accomplish they will work with us to help ensure that areas stay clean longer. We can help educate our clients to contribute to a longer lasting clean in the areas where we work by also understanding the role that bloodborne pathogens play in creating the necessity, for each of us, to help maintain the cleanness of our areas, educate ourselves and others to implement appropriate methods of cleaning, and to take appropriate precautions in keeping our areas clean and neat.--Rocky Swift, Appalachian Regional Healthcare
