It is very important that cleaners are properly trained when it comes to bloodborne pathogens and the way that they are spread.

Cleaners should use the universal precautions when dealing with potentially contaminated areas or items. Always presume that any blood or bodily fluids are contaminated. Always wear the correct PPE to protect from infection.

If workers are properly trained in the universal precautions it can reduce the spread of infectious diseases in their workplace and contribute to a safer environment.
