There are many dangers of getting affected by coming into contact, with someone else's blood and/or body fluids. Getting and knowing the proper knowledge of Bloodborne pathogens is highly important, to cleaners and staff, to prevent any illness or death. Bloodborne Pathogens are pathogenic microorganisms that are present in human blood and can cause disease in humans. These pathogens include, but are not limited to, (HCV), (HIV), and (HBV). In Which, those diseases are the most common at-risk ones, just by way of working in a medical facility.
In my profession, we can face many situations that can potentially cause us to come into contact with blood or body fluid from many individuals. So it is imperative, for cleaners and workers to know how to remove trash, syringes and doing laundry soiled with blood. Knowing the precautions of handling, those things can again prevent exposure, spreading, illnesses or even death.
Being knowledgable on Bloodborne Pathogens is truly great knowledge to have. It makes a safer workplace for everyone involved and the people being cared for. NOW, I truly understand the importance of why cleaners and staff need this certification.
