19 Mar 2021 6:03 PM | Deleted user

 With today's climate of infectious disease the need for training about bloodborne pathogens with all staff is vitally. It is important for cleaning employees and staff to know about bloodborne pathogens as they can cause disease such as HIV or HBV. 

 Employees must be aware of the multiple ways bloodborne pathogens can spread and what personal protective safety equipment to wear such as goggles, disposable latex gloves. learning about universal standards will help with stopping the spread, universal standards tells us that blood and body fluids from ALL patients should be treated as potentially infectious with no exception and infection control precautions be taken to minimize exposure.

 It is important for employees and staff to learn that  Contagion can happen from needles or other sharps so employees must store them in containers to avoid injury and contamination. Staff should know not to eat, drink, smoke, or apply lip balm in areas where there is possibility of bloodborne pathogen exposure.
