Bloodborne pathogens are infectious microorganisms in human blood that are harmful and can cause disease, including hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV. Bloodborne pathogens aren’t something people usually need to be worried about and aren’t airborne or infectious through saliva. But for people who work around potential bloodborne pathogen sources and are exposed to needlesticks and other sharp objects that can cause injury, it is very important to understand how to prevent exposure to bloodborne pathogens and how to keep yourself safe. 

Any employee at risk to exposure to blood and other infectious substances require BBP certification. Our bloodborne pathogens online training is perfect for healthcare employees, janitorial staff, forklift drivers transporting any pathogens, and more.

In order to reduce or eliminate the hazards of occupational exposure to bloodborne pathogens, an employer must implement an exposure control plan for the worksite with details on employee protection measures. The plan must also describe how an employer will use engineering and work practice controls, personal protective clothing and equipment, employee training, medical surveillance, hepatitis B vaccinations, and other provisions as required by OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens Standard.

Janitorial staff serve a fundamental need in our offices, communal workspaces, and learning facilities.  Maintaining a standard of cleanliness is incredibly important for the well being of the community. Ensuring the basic health of the community is the function of the janitorial professional, and understanding the standards and best practices of the janitorial profession is critical to delivering excellent service to our customers.

We generally expect to walk into a business that is clean and in order, so from a business value perspective janitorial service is critical.  We serve as not only the cleaners of the establishment, but the experts that can consult on best practices and risk assessment of areas.

In the government and educational space janitorial services play a critical role.  Ensuring the safety of our children in the spaces that they learn is an incredibly important responsibility.  Parents, students, teachers and faculty benefit from the janitorial service.

As we learn and teach our staff we also have to make sure the information is understood by implementing procedures correctly. This can start at the beginning with a strong routine at the initial start of a position. When we think of blood pathogens including any line of work we ultimately feel a sense discomfort and unease. This is to be expected but we shouldn’t leave all knowledge learned about HIV, HBV, bodily excretions, etc when faced with a job of this stature. 

Start with great routines at the beginning and the worries will be an afterthought. Go in the process believing that all of the bodily fluids you come in contact with are infectious bloodborne pathogens are contained in it. Humans are very guarded by nature and if you know about this, safety in all aspects will be your top priority on and cleaning job you take on. 

Leading by example to me is my top priority with both learning and implementation. We will have Interactive safety drills with real scenarios for use proper protocol to respond and solve the problem. Making safety number 1 will prevent long life consequences. Using proper recommendations as far as PPE, handling of waste according to OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030), disinfectant, sanitizing equipment, & proper disposal of waste.

In 1918, the Spanish Flu pandemic killed tens of millions of people world wide. At least 50 million people died because of that H1N1 influenza. The dead were buried in mass graves after being collected on horse drawn carriages. Current understanding is that only a vaccine will put an end to this pandemic. How will Covid-19 pandemic end?

How will we get there? We made it through the 1918-1919 pandemic. Coordination between different levels and branches of the government, improved communications regarding spread of influenza, helped stop the spread. New guidelines for infection control, containment measures, including case isolation and closures of public places were developed and practiced. They focused on community containment and infection control measures.

The Understanding of the science involved for curving the spread of germs has been fought hard by mankind and we alone deserve the right to overcome the pandemic we face today known as Covid-19.
