    Having knowledge in bloodborne pathogens is very crucial.  It's very important to educate your employees on the hazards and the handling procedures. If the waste is not disposed of properly people can get injured, sick, and even die.   

    Educating your employees is important because you can not afford to have injured and sick people.  It will cost in many ways, for instance lack of help, loss of business and insurance premiums increases.  If your employees are out sick it will require you to work or hire other people.  If business are not cleaned properly and bloodborne pathogens are not properly cleaned you will lose business. Lastly if you are always filing claims on your insurance because you have injured employees your insurance increases. It is definitely worth spending the extra money for the classes to prevent everything mentioned.

    IJCSA offers a great class to inform employees on procedures and importance of handling carefully.  There are many diseases that can happen if not handled appropriately as in HBV and HIV. My company will offer classes to all my employees on the importance of handling all Bloodborne Pathogens.

    For the safety of staff and customers, your staff should be aware of the Bloodborne pathogens. Staff should be trained in this category, most especially these days. With so many viruses and bacterial infections, knowing how to clean and what to clean with is very critical.   

    You should always use your standard universal precautions to prevent any spread or exposure to infected bloodborne pathogens in the workplace.  If exposed you should first wash wound with soap and water and/or flush out your eyes and nose. You should also immediately contact your supervisor and your Doctor for further steps.

    Safely disposing of any Biohazard materials and used disposable cleaning equipment, also help prevent the spread. Making sure the staff knows how to disinfect as trained during these situations will make a huge impact on stopping the spread of any diseases.

    Hiring certified person or company for your residential cleaning will create long-term savings. For instance, your furniture, carpets drapes, and blinds etc. are valuable.

You are not only protecting yourself but also your colleges. The training is important so that all employees are following proper protocols and wearing the right PPE.
