When it comes to cleaning, you never know what you will be potentially exposing yourself to. Each and every day you risk the chance of contracting some sort of virus or disease from things such as surfaces or linens. It is so important for cleaning staff to know about bloodborne pathogens to ensure they can protect not only themselves, but others as well. Many would not think the day to day of a cleaning company to be potentially dangerous, but if uneducated it could be.

When you have cleaning staff, educating them about bloodborne pathogens is just the start of keeping them safe. Many of the viruses or diseases that can be contracted while cleaning are life changing. They are untreatable; they can be fatal. It is something you would potentially have your entire life and could possibly make you very ill. 

Cleaning surfaces and linens using proper PPE and proper disinfectants is so important. This is what will protect you and your cleaning staff from contracting these horrible viruses and diseases. Once you initially train your staff, you should continue to have classes to remind them of proper cleaning methods and using proper PPE.
