Good customer service is very essential in business.It helps you  create more customers and the more customers the more revenue you get.

First in order to understand why it’s important to know about handling bloodborne pathogens, it’s a good idea to understand the potential dangers.  So what exactly are Bloodborne pathogens?  Bloodborne pathogens are microorganisms in the human blood that can cause disease in humans. OSHA defines blood to mean human blood, human blood components, and products made from human blood. [1]

Now that we know what bloodborne pathogens are, why is it important to have knowledge of handling them? The CDC estimates that 5.6 million workers in the health care industry and related occupations are at risk of occupational exposure to bloodborne pathogens, including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), and other diseases. [2]. You and your colleagues are likely included in that number and are working in an industry where exposure and potential risks of infections are very high and possibly life changing. In order to reduce these risk, a significant and comprehensive focus on educating yourself and knowing what it is you may be exposed to and how to prevent injury, infection, and possibly death must take place. 

Not only does knowing about bloodborne pathogens help reduce risk related to exposure, infection, and death, it also helps foster better decision making and efficiency on the job at handling scenarios that arise. This gives employees the confidence needed to handle such task and puts customers at ease in knowing they have hired someone that is properly training and can get the job done correctly. It is not only important for employees and companies to know about blood-borne pathogens it is of upmost urgency and at great consequence that they educate themselves on this topic when working in these types of environments.

A mold cleaning program would be beneficial for not only the workplace but for public awareness. Teaching people how to prevent mold, how to protect themselves in a moldy environment, and how to remove mold is detrimental to a healthy environment and society. A mold free environment improves the air quality and reduces airborne allergens, thereby creating a healthy world. 

Most significantly, a mold removal program reduces health risks to consumers by ensuring that all source of mold have effectively been removed from the building. Mold can quickly lead to a variety of health problems, especially for those with weakened respiratory systems and immune systems.  In worst case scenarios, mold can even prove to be fatal.  Rather than exposing those close to you to the dangerous health risks posed by mold, it is essential to hire a trained professional who has the skills and equipment to effectively remove it.

Even if you are able to remove mold growth through DIY methods, there is still a strong possibility it will recur.  Mold spores require moisture to grow and multiply. Some molds can start to grow as soon as 24-48 hours after a leak or spill. Implementing a mold cleaning program is beneficial not only for yourself at home but for the workplace as well.
