    The Importance of Cleaning Employees Understanding Bloodborne Pathogens


    Cleaning employees working in medical facilities, surgery centers, and other healthcare environments play a crucial role in maintaining a safe and sterile space for patients, staff, and visitors. A key aspect of their training should include bloodborne pathogen awareness to protect themselves and others from serious infections such as Hepatitis B (HBV), Hepatitis C (HCV), and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). These pathogens are transmitted through blood and bodily fluids, making it essential for cleaning staff to follow strict protocols when handling contaminated materials. Without proper knowledge and training, janitorial workers risk accidental exposure, which can lead to life-threatening infections.


    One of the most critical aspects of bloodborne pathogen training is understanding the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030). This regulation requires employers to provide proper training, personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, masks, and gowns, and establish procedures for safe handling, disposal, and decontamination of potentially infectious materials. Cleaning employees must be trained to recognize biohazard warning signs, properly dispose of sharps and contaminated waste, and know what to do in case of an accidental exposure incident. Immediate action, such as washing the affected area thoroughly, reporting the incident, and seeking medical evaluation, can prevent the spread of disease.


    Beyond personal safety, proper knowledge of bloodborne pathogens enhances overall infection control efforts in a healthcare facility. Cleaning staff are responsible for disinfecting surfaces, medical equipment, and patient areas, reducing the risk of cross-contamination. Using EPA-registered disinfectants, following proper dwell times for cleaning solutions, and adhering to hospital sanitation protocols ensure that dangerous pathogens do not spread within the facility. Well-trained staff contribute to lower infection rates, improved patient safety, and regulatory compliance, all of which are essential for maintaining the integrity of a medical facility. Ultimately, equipping cleaning employees with bloodborne pathogen training not only protects their well-being but also safeguards the health of patients and healthcare providers.

    Why Every Person Should Only Perform Natural Green Cleaning? I believe that is the question we should ask ourselves to protect our population and the world from harmful chemicals. We know that green cleaning is the term that describes a growing trend in favor of using cleaning methods with environmentally-friendly and chemicals to preserve human health and environmental quality. We should also address the values of protecting the population and the world from harmful chemicals. The topic of the green cleaning it is important because it could be the difference between the life and death. 

    If we don't change the use harmful chemical and if we don't recycle, Our survival and the survival of all the creatures in this planet eventually it will vanish. For this reason recycling is very important in diverting waste from landfills and water resources. We can hears from the news and we can notice as well that most of the plastic items end up in our landfills, rivers, lakes and oceans. All the waste that goes in the ocean is a danger for the creatures in the sea. For example, the other day I saw in the news that some people found a dead whale and the reason was because it got  tangled in a fishing net. We all know that most of the harmful chemicals end in our water resources and this is very harmful for the creatures that live in the water. For example, if we use a chemical called Polyethoxy ethanols, it feminize male fish which eventually it would effect their reproduction. 

    We should only person natural green cleaning because it has many benefits. For example, by using more ecologically-friendly products, including green cleaning formulation and products, consumers may be able to reduce human health risks by reducing exposure to these and other harmful chemicals. Another benefits of natural green cleaning is that has economic benefits as well. For instance, it may have health benefits, improve productivity, reduce liability, cost saving, and improve community relations. 

    it's very important to perform natural green cleaning because it's a value we should gain to ensure our survival and the survival of all the creatures of our planet as well. For example, we should create a well-designed green cleaning program because it will be very beneficial. Some of these benefits would be to reduce liability from worker safety issues. Another benefit would be the recognition in the community for reducing resource usage and pollution.  We should recycle more and use more biodegradable items to ensure our own survival and the survival all living creatures in our planet. We should perform natural green cleaning because is our best choice to survive.
