It is crucial that cleaning companies know about the importance of bloodborne pathogens and being trained properly for that type of cleaning environment.  Bloodborne pathogens can cause diseases. You want to be very careful to protect yourself against this. There are many safety precautions you can take to keep yourself safe.

Some safety measures you can take are to always wear gloves, wash your hands after removing gloves, do not compress trash with your hand, disinfect anything that came into contact with an approved cleaner, and to assume that all fluid is contagious and to avoid contact with it.

Cleaning a medical facility is where this is most needed. There is a much higher likelihood of coming into contact with bloodborne pathogens there, as opposed to other cleaning environments, such as a bank. If your staff are trained properly they will be able to clean any environment without worry of contamination.
