        I feel it is important to understand the meaning of protecting yourself and employees from Bloodborne Pathogens. Pathogens are Microorganisms that spread by being exposed to Mucus membranes. This includes the nose, mouth, and eyes. Employees should always treat these situations as Universal Precautions, meaning consider all patients potentially infectious, because you cannot see all Bloodborne Pathogens or OPIM. 

       I also think its a great idea that Bloodborne pathogens material must be appropriately labeled with a red or orange label to notify the cleaning employee of the dangers of infectious viruses and bacteria, because in the janitorial industry it is mostly over looked and just not emphasized enough. Wearing the appropriate protection equipment such as gloves, glasses, and face masks , could also eliminate the risk of exposure to Bloodborne Pathogens and OPIM. Never compressing trash, because of potential risks of being poked by a infected needle. Disinfecting your materials is also way to keep from cross contaminating , according to OSHA standards. 

       OSHA requires that all companies keep documents about recent exposures in the workplace for up to three years. Your company should also implement an Exposure Control Plan on site with details on exposure protection measures. I think these plans should be implemented every 6 months to a year to keep employees knowledgeable about Pre Exposure.

    Qual-Serv being Green Cleaning Certified will benefit by fulfilling its mission. Since its inception we have visualized a company that surpasses the industry standards in quality with a eco-friendly methodology. Today’s customers and upcoming leaders understand that environmental issues are no longer the stories of alarmist. Our impact to the environment is a factor that all must deal with.

     Our focus will be the commercial and federal contracting sectors. Many of the work statements being published for state and or federal agencies already require that the contractors hold and maintain a green cleaning certification through the period of performance. This certification will ensure compliance with the requirements of these sectors.

    Our ability to be certified and knowledgeable in green practices will also reduce employee illnesses and disease due to chemical exposure. According to iSustainableEarth.com “It has been proven that using green products for cleaning can reduce health issues such as eye, respiratory and skin burns or irritations, allergies, headaches, chemical poisoning, nausea, and even reproductive hazards.” We have sought out sources for such items as recyclable mop heads and spray bottles. We want to make this all a part of the employee’s sense of responsibility and wholeness with the company improving and benefiting morale.

    Time and time again going green shows cost savings to various industries and businesses. The Green Production Guide provides tools and reports of cost saving benefits analysis conducted on various markets. We believe and research backs that going green will save us as a company money in operational costs, procurement costs and employee management.

    Customer Service the pathway to your success!  Customer service in residential and commercial cleaning is absolutely crucial to the success of your company.  Individuals who are providing services need to  understand  how to make a customer happy by being heard, being understood, and being cared for. I have often felt that smiling, making eye contact, and being genuinely  friendly is the best way to initiate any and all contact with your customer base. Employees who are able to understand the customer emphasize with the situation and create solutions on hand or absolutely  valuable. Being able to do all of these things allows you to follow up with your clients who will then provide referrals for future business, positive reviews. Our company works very hard to ensure that all of these things are done on a daily basis.

    In my business I plan onto implementing mold cleaning to avoid mold or prevent the spread of mold found. If mold is found it's important to see where it came from, what's wrong with the mold & how to control it. Knowing these objectives makes it easier to know how to deal with the mold present. In my business, I want to be able to have this mold cleaning program in my routine to check for any signs of mold & fix it right away.

    The benefits of having this mold cleaning program identifies and resolves mold problems. I want to be able to reestablish a healthy environment. It is crucial to isolate the affected areas, remove affected material, & eliminate moisture sources if present. This will ensure customers we have done our job accurately.

         Green cleaning is quickly becoming the popular choice for service providers based on health and environmental reasons.  Green cleaning refers to the growing trend of opting for environmentally-friendly cleaning products & methods over the use of toxic and harmful cleaning chemicals which can lead to serious health repercussions.  Green cleaning also refers to the methods for manufacturing, packaging, and distributing cleaning products, typically using biodegradable ingredients in an environmentally sustainable manufacturing environment. 

         The primary purpose of cleaning is to protect human health.  At IJCSA, our certified member’s Green Principles begin with health - the health of our employees and of the workers in the buildings we clean. We use only safe products which are free of toxic side effects, and we do all that we can to improve indoor air quality. Green cleaners are not corrosive and meet strict standards regarding inhalation toxicity, combustibility and skin absorption.  Reducing the acute and chronic impacts of our chemicals and practices is the most important part of our Green Program.

         Beyond immediate health effects, we strive to reduce the residual impact of our chemicals and practices on the environment, so to make our own company's impact on the environment as small as possible.  IJCSA green certified companies do not allow the use of any cleaning products containing known carcinogens, mutagens, or other harmful chemicals.

         According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), many standard cleaning products out on the market are known to contain toxic chemicals that are harmful to adults, children, and the environment.  Green cleaning is now the most popular choice for service providers based on health and environmental reasons. Please refer to our directory below to find your next green cleaning service provider.
