It is important for cleaning staff to be knowledgeable of bloodborne pathogens. This is a great course of study and raises the awareness of how to control and minimize your exposure to pathogens. It increases safety and health precautions and the potential spread of infectious materials.

First aid and how to address potential exposure is equally as important. This course provides this information along with the correct protocols to follow. Knowing you have the right procedures in place is essential for being compliant with OSHA and protecting your staff.

Believe it or not, you are likely to encounter situations where this information and training are very relevant in the cleaning industry. The truth is needles and other sharp objects are not limited to hospitals and medical centers. We come across in-home healthcare and medications that are used with the disabled, seniors, and medical conditions where patients are allowed to self administer medications. So educating yourself about bloodborne pathogens is definitely something someone should not overlook.
