Bloodborne pathogens are a part of our world, let us not be ignorant of this fact. Since this is in fact our reality, it is very important that we understand the dangers, that these bloodborne pathogens present. Sickness is a consequence of not properly handling hazardous materials. any staff cleaning or non cleaning should be taught how to handle hazardous materials, should a situation occur. The spread of these Pathogens is also a consequence of not having proper understanding of the dangers they present. Death could be the ultimate price paid, so it is very important for cleaning employees and staff to know about these bloodborne pathogens.

The Universal precautions and protective practices will go along way in the prevention of the spread of bloodborne pathogens, the safety guidelines are already in place for proper handling, labeling, and disposal of infected or potentially infected materials. All cleaning employees and staff are required by law to know how to handle hazardous materials, and it is very important to follow these procedures. These procedures are required to be rehearsed semi annual or annually for applicable staff, to reinforce the importance of knowing the dangers that bloodborne pathogens present.

Knowing is the key, because if we're aware we can take the necessary steps to safely deal with bloodborne pathogens. Safety is golden, going into the situation well prepared for the danger. Respect for other staff and people who are counting on us to do an effective job. Professionalism as frontline workers it is imperative that we understand the hazard and dangers of the potential spread of bloodborne pathogens. In closing it is very important for all cleaning employees and staff to know about bloodborne pathogens.

Bloodborne pathogens are microorganisms carried by human blood and other body fluids. The two most common are the hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C (HBC) and the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Many people think of AIDS when discussing bloodborne pathogens, but actually HBV is much more common.

Most approaches to infection control are based on the concept of Standard Precautions treating all blood and body fluids as if they were potentially infectious. This approach is critical because it is impossible to tell who is infected with HBV, HCV or HIV simply by appearances. Many people who carry infectious disease have no visible symptoms and no knowledge of their condition.  

Reducing your risk of exposure to bloodborne pathogens means you need to do more than wear gloves. It is using; Work Practice controls, PPE, Engineering Controls, Housekeeping,  and Vaccines.

There are two main reasons as to why janitorial work and the people who do that for a living are just as important as any other working human being.

Firstly, janitors and custodians work to serve others. They do their job in order to meet the needs of others. This aspect of their job is the basis of every other job out there, regardless of products or services being sold. Every public facility, public restrooms, work offices, hospitals and hotels, and restaurants to name a few, need janitorial services. Without them, there would be a lot of disgusting buildings and mad people around. There is a need for this type of work just like any other, so why look down upon the people doing it for you.

Secondly, by performing janitorial services on a facility, a partnership is created between the service and the company they are cleaning for in order to serve the customers. The janitorial service is needed in order to keep customers or visitors happy. Take for instance a hospital. These doctors and nurses are giving high-quality care to patients. They rely on the cleanliness of their hospital to keep things sanitized and keeping patients feeling welcomed and not grossed out. Many people are coming in and out of hospitals so janitorial services are critical for their practice. Every time someone cleans for a company building, they are partnering with that specific company with is a great opportunity to keep both ends of the partnership valuable.  

Don’t be sucked into the culture where these people are below you because they’re just as important as you. Not one person’s job is more important than another. Janitors and custodians deserve to be treated with respect and not looked down upon. If it weren’t for them, there would be a lot of places you visit that you would not return to. A job that serves people well is a meaningful one.

It is important for cleaning employees and staff be educated about bloodborne pathogens to keep themselves and others safe from possible infection.

Using the Universal Precautions approach is the best way to prevent infection from blood borne pathogens. Assume all blood and some other bodily fluids from all patients to be infectious. Be sure to use color coding or labeling on bags and containers when transporting contaminated materials. When cleaning blood or bodily fluids, take care to avoid splashing. After cleaning blood or bodily fluids, be sure to disinfect all equipment used. Wear the proper PPE, dispose of it correctly, and thoroughly wash your hands when you are finished.  

If you think you have been exposed to any bloodborne pathogen you should clean the area with water, soap, and skin disinfectant if available. You should also notify your supervisor and physician immediately and refer to your companies exposure plan. OSHA requires all job sites that have a reasonable exposure to bloodborne pathogens have an exposure plan readily available and updated.

Two of the common bloodborne pathogens are Hepatitis B and HIV. If you have been infected with one of these pathogens, you may not start showing symptoms for years to come. Be aware of the signs and symptoms related to these infectious diseases.

Engaging communication is key in ensuring that both parties are aware of and understand the full scope of the job to be completed. The client must also feel care for. Developing a relationship with the consumer is also a way to ensure that the company can grow by ensuring that they feel as if their needs are top priority and are completed with care.
