It is important for cleaning employees and staff to know about bloodborne pathogens because anyone exposed to could be at risk for life-threatening illnesses. It also helps individuals to take steps in stopping them once they occur. It also allows workers to be informed and trained, which can be vital in business atmosphere. Being trained in the hazards of bloodborne pathogens will teach employees how to eliminate the risks of exposure in the workplace. They’ll also be taught that all fluids should be treated as if they were contaminated since there is no way to differentiate between infected fluids and non-infected fluids without testing. When any blood or fluids are present, precautions like safe sharps disposal, wearing latex gloves when handling fluids, should always be used.
