    A clean environment in which one lives or works is essential for good health, much like the air, food and water we need. Bloodborne pathogens similar to contaminated air, food and water poses a risk to health and life.

    A well trained janitorial service being educated about the potential dangers of bloodborne pathogens, can help maintain a clean and safe environment to benefit the health of those in it.

    IJCSA maintains high standards for its members and therefore provides the necessary training to achieve certification in the various scopes of the profession. The bloodborne certification is one credential on the path of excellence and professionalism for the IJCSA members.

    Nobody enjoys working in a disorganized setting. Because there are less distractions in a clean setting, you can think more clearly, which lowers stress and boosts productivity. Custodians know how to maintain workspaces free of clutter and spotless while avoiding interfering with personal belongings to guarantee uninterrupted work and preserve workplace productivity.

    Janitorial workers are crucial to maintaining clean and safe surroundings that benefit all of us on a daily basis. From promoting health and safety through routine cleaning procedures to generating financial savings through preventive maintenance plans, it is evident that these unsung heroes are vital to the smooth operation of our society!

    Building cleanliness and organization are the responsibility of janitorial workers. Janitors maintain customer and employee safety in the workplace. They keep companies running, whether it's in an office setting where teams collaborate closely or a hospital setting where disinfectants and cleanliness are key to sustaining healthy patients. They work hand in hand to maintain the well-being of your employees and the efficiency of your workspace. Janitorial Directory

    Bloodborne pathogens are microorganisms that are in human blood and has the potential to cause various disease if exposed. These diseases may include HIV/AIDS, hepatitis b, hepatitis c, malaria, and syphilis. The CDC reported that approximately 5.6 million healthcare and janitorial service workers are at risk of exposure to bloodborne pathogens. Therefore, we must maintain gaining knowledge of bloodborne pathogens.

    It's important to have knowledge of bloodborne pathogens because when knowledge is applied correctly it reduces the potential of a threat. Continually educating yourself on OSHA guidelines keeps the employer and their employees safe, also eliminates exposure in the workplace. With the training and guidelines of OSHA, it teaches us that we should treat all bodily fluids as if they are contaminated since there is no way to differentiate between infected fluids and non-infected fluids.

    In conclusion, educating ourselves about bloodborne pathogens should remain our priority. Annually educating ourselves and employees on the proper clean up of bodily fluids will continue to ensure workplace safety. Taking the initiative to meet OSHA guidelines will help you and others around you by limiting exposure.

    Bloodborne pathogens are infectious microorganisms that are transmitted by blood. For example, HIV and hepatitis B (and many others) are bloodborne pathogens. These diseases are transmitted through infected body fluids that enter the bloodstream of an uninfected person. Bloodborne pathogens can be transmitted through infected body fluids that enter the bloodstream. HIV and HBV can pose serious, long-term health risks or even death if someone comes into contact with them.

    These pathogens can be transmitted in several ways. The most common ways of transmission are needlesticks, cuts, bites from humans, and mucous membranes. For example, if you are taking out the trash and come in contact with a dirty or used needle, you may come in contact with a bloodborne pathogen. Or you may need to mop up bodily fluids, and splashes can come in contact with your mucous membranes or contaminate a small tear in your skin. Any cleaning job where you come in contact with blood or other body fluids puts you at risk for spreading bloodborne pathogens. All in all, you should always assume that all body fluids you come into contact with are contaminated. This is called universal precautions. Therefore training on bloodborne pathogens is required for proper cleaning.

    OSHA has developed training on bloodborne pathogens that explains how to clean body fluids, what personal protective equipment to wear when cleaning body fluids, how to properly clean and dispose of body fluids, and what else to look for in this area. For example, gloves, goggles and possibly a face mask are essential for your own protection from contamination. Thorough hand washing after an exposure is also among the important protective measures. In addition, any contamination waste generated must be specially labeled and disposed of separately, for example in different colored waste bags (red or orange).

    Cleaning services and training on bloodborne pathogens are essential to keeping our environment safe for everyone. Every cleaner should complete training on bloodborne pathogens, as it is necessary for the proper performance of the job. Employers should provide access to this training free of charge during working hours. This training is one of the most important experiences a janitor or cleaner needs to have, especially, but not only, if they work in a hospital. The CDC reported that approximately 5.6 million healthcare and janitorial service workers are at risk of exposure to bloodborne pathogens. If you can clean and dispose of body fluids before a bloodborne pathogen can spread, you can save lives!

    Achieving green cleaning certification for your company can significantly enhance your business's reputation and operational efficiency. This certification signals to clients, employees, and stakeholders that your company is committed to sustainable practices and environmental stewardship. In an era where consumers are increasingly aware of the environmental impact of their choices, being green cleaning certified can provide a competitive edge. Clients prefer to partner with companies that align with their values, and a certification in green cleaning demonstrates your company's dedication to reducing its ecological footprint. This not only helps attract environmentally conscious clients but also fosters loyalty and trust among your existing customer base.

    Moreover, green cleaning certification can lead to cost savings and improved financial performance over time. Eco-friendly cleaning products and practices often result in lower long-term costs due to their efficiency and sustainability. For instance, green cleaning products are typically designed to be concentrated, meaning you use less product for the same cleaning power, reducing procurement costs. Additionally, environmentally friendly practices often include energy and water-saving measures, which can significantly cut utility bills. The reduction in health-related issues among employees, due to fewer toxic exposures, can also lead to decreased healthcare costs and less absenteeism, further improving your company's bottom line.

    Implementing green cleaning practices as part of your certification process also creates a healthier work environment, leading to higher employee satisfaction and productivity. Conventional cleaning products can release harmful chemicals into the air, leading to poor indoor air quality and associated health problems like respiratory issues, skin irritations, and headaches. By switching to green cleaning products, you reduce these health risks, creating a safer and more pleasant workplace. Employees are more likely to feel valued and motivated when they know their employer is taking steps to protect their health and well-being. This can lead to higher retention rates and a more engaged, productive workforce.

    Lastly, being green cleaning certified positions your company as a leader in corporate social responsibility (CSR). In today's business landscape, CSR is a key factor in shaping a company's public image and attracting investment. Companies that demonstrate a commitment to sustainable practices are viewed more favorably by investors, partners, and the public. Green cleaning certification can be a cornerstone of your CSR strategy, showcasing your commitment to environmental and social issues. This not only enhances your brand image but also opens up new opportunities for partnerships and collaborations with other socially responsible organizations. In conclusion, achieving green cleaning certification is a strategic move that can yield numerous benefits for your company, from cost savings and improved employee health to enhanced reputation and market competitiveness.

    The widespread use of conventional cleaning chemicals poses significant risks to both the environment and human health. Many cleaning products contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which can evaporate into the air and contribute to air pollution. When these chemicals are washed down drains, they can contaminate water supplies and harm aquatic ecosystems. For example, phosphates in detergents can lead to the eutrophication of water bodies, causing excessive growth of algae that depletes oxygen levels and endangers marine life. Moreover, the packaging and disposal of these chemicals add to the growing problem of plastic pollution and toxic waste, further exacerbating their environmental impact.

    In addition to their detrimental environmental effects, cleaning chemicals can have severe consequences for human health. Prolonged exposure to certain chemicals, such as ammonia, bleach, and formaldehyde, can lead to respiratory issues, skin irritation, and allergic reactions. The inhalation of VOCs can trigger asthma attacks and other respiratory conditions, particularly in vulnerable populations like children, the elderly, and those with preexisting health conditions. Moreover, some chemicals used in cleaning products are known carcinogens, increasing the risk of cancer with long-term exposure. The immediate effects might be subtle, but the cumulative impact of regular exposure can lead to serious health problems over time.

    The harmful effects of cleaning chemicals highlight the urgent need for a shift towards safer, more sustainable cleaning practices. Green cleaning products, made from natural and non-toxic ingredients, offer a viable alternative that reduces the risks to both the planet and human health. By choosing eco-friendly cleaning solutions, we can minimize our exposure to hazardous chemicals and protect the environment from further degradation. It is crucial for consumers, businesses, and policymakers to recognize the importance of green cleaning and promote its adoption on a wider scale. Ultimately, the transition to safer cleaning practices is not only a matter of personal and environmental health but also a step towards a more sustainable and responsible way of living.
