    Our company wears many hats in the restoration industry. This puts our staff at risk almost every day. It’s important for our staff to know that bloodborne pathogens are infectious microorganisms present in blood that can cause disease in humans. These pathogens include, but are not limited to, hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the virus that causes AIDS. Bloodborne pathogens can be contracted or to come in contact by blood, mucous membrane, saliva and other body fluids and/or cuts, abrasions, human bites or needle sticks.

     While onsite, it’s important to know what is being cleaned. How do we prevent cross contamination and what PPE is appropriate for the work that’s being performed. It is very imperative to implement the proper training for usage of  PPE. Proper donning and doffing PPE should also be with that training.

    If someone is exposed to bloodborne pathogens, they should follow proper protocol immediately. Wash exposed skin, cuts, and needlestick injuries thoroughly with soap and water. If you have been splashed by potentially infectious fluids around the eyes, nose or mouth, flush the area with water. Immediately report the incident to emergency medical services.

    Proper labeling and disposal are a very vital part of what needs to be done on each job site. Red medical waste management bags and having proper labeled & color coated containers that don’t leak from the bottom or the sides are two examples of this.

    Every business that deals with bloodborne pathogens needs to develop proper overall training on dues and don’ts. Keeping proper record keeping and yearly training are some of  most important things as well.

    Bloodborne pathogens are microorganisms that are present in human blood and can cause disease en humans like Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).  Any cleaning employee or any staff member can be exposed to the pathogen when come in contact with blood or body fluids from other individuals.

    The Center of Diseases Control and Prevention advise us to consider blood or body fluids from others potentially infectious. it is very important to use "infection control precautions" to prevent or reduce the risk of exposure.

    Using gloves and other personal equipment to protect us from being exposed are recommended. We must remember to discard all disposable personal protective equipment after finishing the job. Disinfect other work equipment such as buckets, mops, garbage tanks etc. We should never reuse towels or sponges to prevent pathogens from spreading.

    Taking care of all the recommended precautions can be the difference between your health and a fatal disease.

    Bloodbone Pathogens comes in many life altering and deadly disease forms, such as Hepatitis Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), Hepatitis C Virus (HCV), and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and knowing the proper steps to take to prevent it is critical.

    Bloodbone Pathogens poses serious threats to the health and well-being of all that come into contact with it and cleaning and janitorial staff who may be expose should be made aware and educated on ways to present exposure to protect life and possible life style changes that may result in the event that they are exposed.

    Employees need to get the required Bloodborne Pathogens Safety Training needed to stay safe and follow OSHA guidelines to ensure safety. Additionally, every organization that employs such cleaning workers should have their SOP in place for employee to follow should exposure exist.

    As green cleaning has become more and more accepted within the cleaning industry and outside the marketplace, certain best practices have emerged for implementing a green cleaning program. Green cleaning is a system that employs both green chemicals and green equipment.

    However, a successful green cleaning program is not just a matter of having the right cleaning products.

    Achieving the buy-in of building occupants and owners is also essential.

    REACH AN AGREEMENT.

    Building owners, occupants and management must agree on how they define a green cleaning program and how it will be implemented into their facility.

    To ensure adherence, the agreement must be in writing and written in the form of a concise, easy-to-understand contract.

    BUILD THE TEAM.

    With the agreement in hand, a team should be organized that includes not just cleaning professionals, but also the building management and occupants.

    The team will meet and discuss the green cleaning system, and as a result of these meetings, will generate support for the project for all building occupants — a pivotal element in its success.

    CONDUCT BASELINE AUDITS.

    One of the team’s first duties is to determine the facility’s current housekeeping status by conducting audits to verify how the facility is being cleaned and maintained.

    This will establish a baseline to judge future improvement.

    For instance, surveys may include an inventory and evaluation of existing paper products, liners and cleaning equipment used in the location.

    DEVELOP A PLAN.

    Once the data has been collected, the team must analyze the information to determine the best ways to implement the green cleaning system.

    They decide which areas need to be addressed first, based on contract requirements, costs and potential health and environmental impacts.

    GET EVERYONE ON BOARD.

    It is vitally important that everyone is involved in the process and supports the team’s plans and goals.

    This is often best accomplished by including all necessary parties in the process and making them aware of how and why changes are being made.

    ACQUIRE GREEN PRODUCTS AND EQUIPMENT.

    To begin the process of greening a facility, new cleaning products and equipment may need to be purchased.

    IMPLEMENT GREEN PRODUCT PROCEDURE.

    Begin new cleaning procedures that help cleaning professionals understand and use the environmentally-preferable products carefully, safely and with the goals of green cleaning in mind.
