15 Jul 2024 3:53 PM | Mario Torres

The importance of understanding blood borne pathogens for staff and all employees can not be overstated, especially when working in the medical field and anywhere you would come in contact with blood and or bodily fluids. Blood pathogens such as HIV, hepatitis B virus  and other pose a significant health risk if proper cleaning protocols are not followed.

It is very important employees be trained to handle, clean, and disinfect areas that may be contaminated with blood or bodily fluids to prevent the spread of these dangerous microorganisms. This training will ensure that the cleaning staff remain safe from potential infections.


Proper cleaning and disinfection practices are vital in mitigating risk of exposure to blood borne pathogens. the use of gloves, eyewear, and disinfection of used equipment should always be used and caution always a must. Regular training and updates on the latest guidelines and best practice will ensure the cleaning staff remain vigilant and well-equipped to handle potential hazards, ultimately contributing to a safe workplace for everyone involved.
