Topps Cleaning Service believes that occupational health, safety, and knowledge about bloodborne pathogens is crucial, particularly for our cleaning employees and staff. Bloodborne pathogens are infectious microorganisms present in blood that can cause diseases in humans. This group of pathogens includes, but is not limited to, Hepatitis B (HBV), Hepatitis C (HCV), and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). Given the nature of cleaning tasks, which often involve exposure to bodily fluids, it is imperative that our staff be well-informed and adequately trained to handle such hazards.

Our facility employees such as janitors, housekeepers, custodians, and cleaners may be at risk of exposure to blood and other body fluids in the workplace. If proper precautions are not taken, exposure to these pathogens can easily lead to infectious diseases.  

Organizations, like Topps Cleaning Service, are required by law to comply with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards regarding bloodborne pathogens. These regulations mandate employee training, the implementation of exposure control plans, and the provision of necessary protective equipment. Compliance not only ensures the safety of our employees but also protects Topps Cleaning Service from legal liabilities associated with non-compliance.

Our educated and well-trained cleaning staff play a critical role in preventing the spread of infectious diseases within the workplace. By following proper protocols, our employees can minimize the risk of contamination and ensure a safer environment for everyone. This is particularly important in healthcare settings, schools, and other public facilities where the risk of exposure is higher.

Topps Cleaning Service, as well as other members of the IJCSA, prioritize employee safety and protection from the risks that these pathogens pose.
