In the areas I work in it’s very Important to be prepared to come in contact with bloodborne pathogens in many ways.  Often in the confinement’s of the passenger compartments of vehicles where blood an bodily fluids are hard to see.  I wear as much PPE as possible, and I treat everything around me as if it’s contaminated.  

When cleaning I make sure I’m not only using the proper chemicals but I have to test on many surfaces to not cause further damages.  In many cases it’s impossible to clean certain items that are large and often heavy with many sharp edges.  Labeling and disposal of these items is very important to prevent others from mistaking it for “normal” trash.

In conclusion always follow the universal precautions, use and inspect your PPE, have and use proper labels, bags ,and containers.  Clean your equipment when done , avoid contact with your mouth ,eyes or cuts and scrapes until you’ve washed and disinfected.  If anything happens follow employers exposure plan.
