Cleaning staff play an important role in keeping workplaces, hospitals, and public areas safe and sanitary. Because they handle waste, clean spills, and disinfect surfaces, they may come in contact with blood or other bodily fluids that could carry harmful pathogens like hepatitis B and HIV. It is important that the cleaning staff has a clear understanding on how the pathogens spread and how to protect themselves which helps the staff work safely.   

Cleaning employees must follow proper procedures, such as wearing gloves, using desinféctanos, and disposing of waste correctly. OSHA’s training teaches cleaning staff to handle bodily fluids properly and how to use the right protective equipment and cleaning techniques. By following the guidelines, they reduce the rush of spreading infections to themselves and others. 

Knowing hoe to respond to an exposure incident is also very important. If a cleaning worker accidentally come into contact with contaminated fluid, they must act quickly by washing the area, reporting the incident, and seeking medical attention if necessary. With proper training, cleaning staff can confidently handle these situations and help create a safer, healthier environment for everyone.
