The importance of Bloodborne Pathogens Education

30 Aug 2024 4:39 PM | Danielle Smith

It is of the utmost importance that cleaners have a thorough understanding of bloodborne pathogens, what they are, and how to take the proper precautions to prevent contamination and exposure. This is true because exposure to certain bloodborne pathogens can lead to infection, disease, and ultimately, death. Cleaners have the responsibility to not simply clean, but also to prevent the spread of disease.

Cleaning staff and employees must be up to date on the proper ways in which to decontaminate surfaces, avoid spreading illness, and take the proper precautions when it comes to bloodborne pathogens. The best way to do this is to take universal precautions recommended by OSHA in the bloodborne standard. When cleaners can abide by these standards they can do their part in preventing disease and illness. 

When cleaning staff and employees are knowledgeable and are cleaning in accordance to these standards and guidelines, they play one of the largest roles in keeping the public safe and disease free. Without the proper knowledge and practices, we run the risk of contaminating one another and spreading illness and disease among the people.
