    Living through a pandemic for the first time in my life, it has become more and more revelatory of how important it is to not only know about bloodborne pathogens but understand how they work and how they spread. Just imagine, with what's going on today, if no one took precaution after the first transmission of the Coronavirus. We would be at an all-time high of deaths from one epidemic. 

    Bloodborne pathogens are pathogenic (disease producing) microorganisms that are present in human blood and can cause disease in humans. Pathogens spread through contact with the human mucus membrane (nose, mouth, eyes). They include, but are not limited to HBV and HIV and symptoms may not appear for many years after exposure. Needlesticks and other sharps-related injuries can cause exposure to bloodborne pathogens. This includes but is not limited to healthcare professionals, first responders, housekeeping/janitorial staff, nurses and etc. 

    "The best defense is a thorough offense." Employers should have and implement an exposure control plan for each facility. This is just as important as the employees reviewing these measures and putting them into practice. Knowing precautionary measures for anything helps prevent and lessen the likelihood of injuries, especially in worksites where there can be exposure to bloodborne pathogens. Each contact with a patient or patient care area should be treated as one that could be a possible exposure to a bloodborne pathogen. Personal protective equipment should be worn at all times to not only protect yourselves, but others in the facility. 

    Ignorance can be the strongest key to life and death. A cleaning staff member who does not know the proper actions to take if exposed to an infectious bloodborne pathogen is more likely to contract an infectious disease than the one who has educated themselves according to OSHA standards. This does not only put the one staff member at risk, but those around them. Training on Bloodborne pathogens are just as important as the precaution itself. Handling sharps, needles or simply cleaning up blood or blood-soiled linens require proper training and a complete understanding of how bloodborne pathogens spread.

    Janitorial staff and cleaning support staff provide a service that is vital to public health: while risking their own health in return. They service every public facility imaginable, including but not limited to public restrooms, hospitals, office spaces, grocery stores, and hotels.

    Janitorial staff experience one of the highest rates of occupational asthma, according to a 2001 article published by the American Journal of Industrial Medicine. Other dangers include other respiratory issues from mixing chemicals, coming in close contact with bio-hazardous material, potential needle sticks, and slip-and-fall injuries. Janitorial staff prevent the spread of illness and infection, control indoor air quality, and protect the indoor environment.

    The public relies on the janitorial staff for the cleanliness and sanitation of public spaces. With so many people coming in and out of these areas janitorial and commercial cleaning services are critical.

    And now in 2020 as the COVID-19 virus continues to cause havoc and death in the United States cleanliness is more important than ever, due to some places essentially staying open, such as hospitals and grocery stores. As a result, someone needs to keep these areas clean to not further the spread of this deadly virus, allowing these essential businesses to continue to function.

    Biohazards are the common cause of spreading bloodborne diseases. Bloodborne diseases is transmitted to person by ingestion, open wound contamination, eye and nose contamination.

    Being knowledgeable about how to contain and properly clean and dispose of blood and bodily fluids is important especially to the ones who works in health care and crime scene operatives because they are the one who are most vulnerable to be exposed to the biohazard.

    By being aware of the biohazards. We can prevent the spread of bloodborne diseases such as HIV, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C. knowing how to contain biohazard is paramount to be safe while working in the hospitals and on the crime scene.

    We should educate more people not only the ones who work in the health care but also other regular people to be aware of the possible threats  by  biohazard exposure.  By educating people they are more safer in their work place and perhaps in their everyday life.

    Bloodborne pathogens pose a serious and significant health risk to anyone who comes into contact with them. Everyone should understand the risks associated with the cleaning and/or disposing of contaminated surfaces, articles of clothing, linens, and cleaning tools. This is most true for employees or workers that frequently come into contact with them. Training should be available to every employee and mandatory for anyone at risk. 

     Bloodborne pathogens like HIV and hepatitis B do not only exist within blood. They can exist within saliva, vomit, urine, and other bodily fluids. Proper procedures should always be followed when coming into contact with any suspecting bodily fluid. The best way to avoid exposure is to ensure you're wearing proper PPE or personal protective equipment and following the osha guidelines.

     Proper education for all cleaning workers is the 1st step in protecting them and your business. The availability of proper fitting personal protective gear is a must. Masks, gloves, safety goggles, and at times full tyvek suits can, and should be worn depending on the situation. Education and protection are vital in keeping your work force safe and productive while keeping your clients satisfied.
