As a small business owner, I am always seeking new services to offer and ways to make my company stand out. Many of my residential clients have children and pets, which always bring new and exciting stains along with them. Commercial accounts inevitably have high-traffic carpet issues, as well as the occasional coffee spill or other stains. Carpet cleaning seemed to be the next logical step for me, and I will not offer a service until I am well educated on the topic. 

I believe in educating myself and my clients, and I believe that being able to provide a certified service makes all the difference. This shows the client that we have taken the time to educate ourselves and bring them the best possible service available. 

As a former medical worker in the Phlebotomy field, I understand with great detail the importance of Bloodborne Pathogen training for cleaning employees. There are always going to be situations you will come across that involve biohazard clean up, but blood and body fluids are one of the most important to take serious precautions with.

So many different viruses and diseases are present in Blood and body fluids, and many of them are incurable. Direct contact with these infected fluids can be detrimental to the overall health and well being of your employees. One misstep can change a persons life forever.

Things like HIV, Hep B or even more serious viruses like Ebola can be present in a single droplet of blood, and if exposed to open wounds or mucus membranes, can infect the person cleaning. Its imperative to take all necessary precautions to prevent cross contamination/infection.

OSHA has issued standards regarding bloodborne pathogens. Bloodborne pathogens contain infectious diseases (some of which can be deadly) and can be transmitted through contact with body fluids. Following the standards set forth by OSHA reduces a persons risk of becoming infected with a life threatening illness. 

Workers who are in occupations that come in contact with bloodborne pathogens should be familiar with and follow OSHA's standards for bloodborne pathogens in order to protect themselves from becoming infected with a life threatening illness. OSHA provides training and educational resources to broaden the knowledge base of both employers and employees to avoid potential hazardous accidents. 

Using the proper PPE, knowing the proper use of chemicals, reporting and documenting ALL accidents, knowing how to handle sharps, and contaminated linens, having exposure protocols in place all greatly reduce your risk for infection.

Understanding about bloodborne pathogens are important because:

The way to prevent from exposed to bloodborne pathogens are:

Always use protective equipment like gown, mask, gloves, face shield, goggles, if needed, keep distance from the objects, thoroughly wash your hands before and after the work is completed.

Being Green Clean certified is on of the biggest aspects of my cleaning services. Not only do I offer the service as well as general cleaning options, but all of the products I choose are EPA approved and less harmful than other chemicals out there. It greatly reduces the amount of toxic fumes that I breathe in while cleaning and that go into the environment.

Many cleaning products on the market are made with chemicals that cause irritations simply by breathing them in or letting them touch your skin. Chemicals can have long term effects that can cause cancers or long term illnesses. Green cleaning omits all chemicals, carniogens, and toxic gases.

Being green certified can reduce operation costs. This can result in lower prices for potential. Ingredients are often plant based and can be safely handmade prior to a cleaning. Containers can be made of recycled material, and wonderful microfiber cloths powerfully remove dirt and can be washed many times. Being a green company means I operates with the betterness of mankind and the environment in mind at all times. It also means that inventory and procedures drastically change, decreasing costs and chemical use while increasing safe and clean eestashblishments. 

A vital thing for any successful cleaning company to have is, a plan that includes details on how to protect employees and clients from hazards and health risks. When I choose to green clean, I am apart of the worldwide mission to reduce hazardous chemicals and ozone destruction. Health and good cleaning will always be priority.

The importance of cleaning employees and staff knowing about bloodborne pathogens is essential in maintaining a safe workplace and environment. Bloodborne pathogens can easily be transmitted when proper training is not practiced. In the medical profession, schools, stores, or any sector where people come in contact with one another must practice or have a universal approach when experiencing any transmission of blood, fluids, coughing, sneezing, vomiting, open wounds,etc. Therefore knowing which protocols  are standard according to OSHA are essential to maintain.

Cleaning employees and staff must maintain certifications as needed and in an event there is a workplace accident perform duties. Both must follow OSHA Standards on Bloodborne pathogens by wearing PPE, clean up spills, call proper personnel when needed, record incidents, etc.

Even though accidents occur OSHA has put many guidelines in place for both employees and staff to follow on Bloodborne pathogens. We must do our part to maintain certification, practice precaution, and be ready to act when an incident does occur. When taken seriously employees and staff are at ease knowing a plan is in place, therefore educating them on this is essential.
