Cleaning employees and staff need to know the importance of bloodborne pathogens to protect themselves and others and exhibiting professionalism in the workplace.

Taking the universal precaution, which is to assume that blood and certain other body fluids are potentially contaminated, as well as understanding what items are considered sharp objects (e.g., needles), what not to do around potential bloodborne pathogens (e.g., do not push down trash in trashcans with hands), and what to do if contaminated (e.g., get assessed and potentially treated) is the first step to protecting yourself and others from infectious diseases such as HIV or HPV. 

As a cleaning service owner, clients will feel peace of mind knowing that their cleaning technicians are trained in such an important topic. It will build trust and credibility to our business having knowledge about bloodborne pathogens.
