    In 1991 the Occupational Safety and Health Administration or simply known as OSHA instituted a standard for facilities handling any type of infectious material. This practice was updated in 2001 and made mandatory for all new employees that have the potential for exposure to blood borne pathogens or potentially infectious material. Employees should be trained within 10 days of hire and then annually. The Bloodborne Pathogen training is mandatory in the healthcare field or any business that deals with infectious materials or where any employee may have a reasonable risk for exposure.

    Employees should be trained in the knowledge to be able to safely clean offices or job sites without posing a hazard to themselves. 2 of the most important, but not limited to, microorganisms that employers need to train their employees on are Hepatitis B Virus or HBV and Human Immunodeficiency Virus or HIV. An open area in the skin is a portal or entry site for the microorganism. Any breaks in the skin should be covered prior to commencing any cleaning activity, so as to close the portal of entry. Employees in healthcare facilities should be offered the Hepatits B vaccine free of charge. The vaccine is a series of 3 shots given at Month 1 Month 3 and Month 6.  Employees that are in charge of cleaning facilities with medical waste should be trained in the proper handling and disposal of infectious waste. Any cut, scrape, stick or puncture should be immediately reported to a Supervisor so that the employee can be checked at a healthcare facility.  

    Employees should have access to their company's Exposure Control Plan. 

    This training is important for employees as it makes them aware of potential hazards in the work place. This also benefits clients as they know the company that they are hiring is taking care in training their employees and that the cleaning company can also teach the client's employees on the benefits of safe workplace habits.

      Having a mold prevention and cleaning routine is more then beneficial, it's necessary. Having a mold prevention plan will help ensure the safety of our employees, our clients, and the company as a whole. One part of the plan would be, having everyone trained to some small degree on mold and the seriousness that is connected with it. Having trained associates will ensure being able to stay on top of mold prevention, and fixing any concerns as soon as possible. 

       Another benefit of having a mold prevention plan is being able to identify when a job may need a professional specialist for the cleaning. Not equipping our associates with the information on mold, and the prevention protocol from disturbing the deadly fungi, could lead to people health being compromised among other things. Mold need to be handled in a certain way, by only trained specialists, and its very important for all associates to know. 

      Another benefit of having a company mold prevention plan, is that it can be used for on the job cleaning, or for the physical building for our company. The integrity of the structure of where my associates come to and from to perform jobs, need to be safe as well. A regular building routine of checking all moisture spots in the building will be performed. As well as, fixing and replacing any necessary building material or area that may have a leak, and drying out any areas that may raise a concern for moisture control.

    Bloodborne pathogens are infectious microorganisms in blood that can cause diseases. These diseases can include HIV and HBV. The are spread when the pathogens come in contact with mucus membranes or breaks in the skin. Blood, saliva or vomit can all be contaminated; and employees are to assume all blood and bodily fluids are infected. 

    In order to reduce exposure, all employers are required by law to have a plan for employees to follow. Employees in the healthcare field are subject to the standard. Additionally, employees in the housekeeping field may be subject to the standard, including in laundry services, as they may be involved the cleanup of bodily fluids. Methods of compliance include: universal precautions, sharps disposal containers, hand hygiene, personal protective equipment; decontamination procedures and removal of regulated waste.

    It is important that all employers and employees are educated and aware of the standards put in place by OSHA. It is a necessary step in limiting the spread of infectious disease and keeping all employees safe in the workplace

    Bloodborne pathogens guidelines have been created to reduce and eliminate the risks of transmitting infectious diseases through the blood or body fluids of other individuals. The most common diseases to contract when in contact with these fluids are HBV and HIV (associated with AIDS). That is why it is recommended for cleaning workers to follow the universal precautionary protocol, which was originally created by The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, for which OSHA created a Bloodborne Standard. It was initially created for health workers and hospital workers, but it was expanded for all those occupations that are reasonably exposed to blood or other infectious materials such as cleaning workers in general. Without them, risks of these pathogens infecting others would be higher.

    Proper cleaning reduces risk of the diseases previously mentioned. Therefore, it is extremely important for cleaning workers to have knowledge of these guidelines in order to apply them correctly during the cleaning of any fluid, thus avoiding contracting any disease and avoid spreading it to others. This is achieved by applying the universal protocol of precaution. The use of adequate equipment, for instance gloves and glasses since these diseases are spread through the mucous membranes is significant. The management of areas or objects that have been in contact with these fluids contribute to the spread and shall be thoroughly cleaned by cleaning employees with proper knowledge using the disinfectants indicated to prevent the spread and dispose of all the aforementioned. It should be noted that it is important for the workers to know to notify the supervisor on duty if there are any suspicions of any type of contact with these fluids which could lead to getting infected.  The worker should visit a healthcare provider and be on the lookout for any symptoms of HBV or HIV. Many of these symptoms appear after a few years of getting infected. For this reason, OSHA recommends keeping records for three years.

    In conclusion, we, as cleaning professionals must have knowledge of the universal protocol created by The Centers for Disease Control  and Prevention, and the OSHA Bloodborne Standard  guidelines in order to maintain a high standard when we do our work because it’s the safest way to protect ourselves. The precaution that is taken cause workers to avoid serious illnesses and even death. Therefore, it is very important that the staff who work for a cleaning company have adequate training and knowledge on bloodborne pathogens to comply with all safety guidelines in order to avoid transmission of diseases because safety is our priority.
