As a cleaning professional the importance of knowing about bloodborne pathogens is for safety in the workplace  of not contracting or spreading disease. In my field I am at risk of exposure to bodily fluid and blood on almost a daily basis. The knowing of what bloodborne pathogens are what they cause and how it enters the body helps negate safety in the workplace.

Understanding how to prevent or limit exposure to bloodborne pathogen in the workplace with proper procedures can help prevent contracting and or spreading disease.

  Bloodborne pathogens are microorganisms that are present in human blood that may cause disease. I see bloodborne pathogens as a possible unseen enemy that can enter the body through mucus membrane  through the nose mouth or eyes can also enter the body through open wound cut or abrasion on the skin. 

 Understanding the importance of wearing personal protective equipment including proper sanitizing of hands before and after as well as proper disposal of personal protection gear / contaminated items in proper receptical can help limit personal  / public exposure of bloodborne pathogen in the workplace,

When learning about bloodborne pathogens you also gain proper protocol of possible exposure , outlining and or identifying a cleaning companies emergency plan of reporting exposure and immediately seeking a doctors opinion down to what signs of illness to watch out for.
