A cleaner or cleaning technician in a healthcare setting plays one of the most important roles in healthcare. Healthcare cleaning technicians are front line in the prevention and possible spread of bloodborne pathogens to the public, staff and anyone else coming into contact with infected materials. 

Healthcare settings need structured and professional cleaning protocols by trained technicians. Without these protocols there would be spread of infectious disease to the masses. Healthcare settings must maintain cleanliness.

Patients as well as staff must feel confident, they will not contract illness while visiting or working the healthcare facility. Especially if illness is avoidable by cleaning technicians and staff following BPS (Bloodborne Pathogen Standards).
