As we all know, especially in these times how important it is to be educated on bloodborne pathogens.  It is important that all employees be educated when working in these environments to prevent any spread to co workers as well as friends and family.  

We all should be educated not only on the different bloodborne pathogens but more important we should all pay close attention to Universal Precautions.  Some of the these activities can be tedious but we must go the extra mile to ensure that we are all protected.  Things such as picking up rags and other exposed things with tongs may seem time consuming but when available they should be used to prevent any accidents.  The removal and disposal of PPE is just as important. 

It may be easy to take off PPE and throw it in the closest trash can but it is important to dispose these things in the proper can and handled with care.  All things that have been exposed should be treated as if they have been exposed to infected areas.  Just as important, hands should be thoroughly cleaned after removing all PPE.

Being educated on blood borne pathogens is the key to safety and preventing the spread.  With all employees having this knowledge.  It not only protects your team/coworkers, it also protects your team infecting loved ones.
