    If you want to maintain a clean space we need custodians/janitors. For to often they are bypassed as you don't understand the job.  They are the ones that not only keep your facility clean but they are also prevention specialists. 

    I know that if I were to work a lot of hours I wouldn't want to have to go clean a bathroom so by having a janitor makes your life a little easier. If you have a clean facility you have happier customers/staff at your work place.  Even a good smell after the janitors are done makes your day a little more enjoyable.

    Janitors are essential to any location. It doesn't matter if its just a place where no public goes or if its a public building. They are so important! I know I like to know that if i go to a dr. facility that it has been cleaned and that my friend is the janitors job.

    There is no question about the fact that Medical Cleaning Practices are not the same as commercial and residential ones. Homes and offices are usually low traffic areas with mostly healthy people while medical facilities are more likely to have a high traffic predominantly by sick people.

    When cleaning commercial or residential building the focus rest on the appearance of the facility. When it comes to medical facilities the focus is to reduce the bio-load (dust, dirt, and grime), clean and disinfect the place instead of on the appearance.

    Part of the question on the table is “how to implement medical cleaning practices into other residential and commercial cleaning situation”. It has been proven that most workplaces are one of the unhealthiest places you can inhabit just because we touch a lot of other different surfaces that also has been touched by many other people. Home environment is not different than a workplace specially when it comes to areas like kitchen and bathrooms.

    Cleaning and disinfect high-touch surfaces and objects in your home and in your office more frequently may help kill the bacteria we pick up during the time we spend in this pleases. The practice of washing our hands and using hand sanitizer (medical facilities cleaning standard) can also be applied at home and at work place. It will help significantly to reduce spreading harmful bacteria, germs, & viruses.

    At IJCSA we value protecting the population and the world from harmful bacteria, germs, & viruses. To prevent infections and avoid spreading them it is recommended to follow these simple tactics: avoid close contact with people who are sick; cover coughs and sneezes; avoid touching your face; stay home if you're sick; clean and disinfect surfaces that are touched often and avoid contaminated food and water. Educating the population about these practices is the best way to win the battle against harmful bacteria, germs, & viruses while reducing the risk of infection.

    The most important role of the healthcare facilities is to take care of people who are ill (“patients” under the care of the doctors and other medical staff). Usually, they are more likely to have a weak immune defense and more compromised by germs and bacteria precent in their environment. They are also more vulnerable to infection in ways that aren’t so obvious for none medical staff.

    These are some of the reasons why it is so important to keep the healthcare environment clean and free of germs, knowing that not doing so can pose risks for patients, coworkers, and ourselves. Cleaning in healthcare facilities is essential to protect staff, visitors and patients while keeping facilities complying with industry guidelines.

    Closely managing the risk of infection is the most important reason as to why the cleanliness of healthcare facilities should be monitored and address appropriately. With surfaces in the medical environment often being contaminated with pathogenic organisms, proper surface disinfection is crucial to keep the risk of transmission to a minimum.

    The safety of patients has to be a priority in a healthcare setting, but that principal should also apply for the employees. For this reason, the presence and effectiveness of cleaning practices in place is crucial in medical facialist.

    Today more cleaning companies are being trained and certify by Janitorial Service Directory helping healthcare facilities to comply with industry guidelines while keeping patients and staff member to operate in a healthier environment.

    Safety is the most important in any workplace, so in many occupations first responders, housekeeping personnel to name a few are or may be at risk of exposure to bloodborne pathogens. Knowledge and training on how to prevent or control exposure, steps that reduce or eliminate the hazards. Implementation of a control plan for each worksite with details on employee protection measures. An engineering plan that tells employees and all personnel the PPE and clothing, employee training and hepatitis b vaccinations etc.

    Having a plan, implementing safety measures knowing OSHAs Bloodborne Pathogens Standards and practicing these will minimize exposure. Not only knowing about the potential exposures but following and knowing what to do when exposure occurs.  What is needed in an evaluation of an exposure incident will help the ones exposed and employers determine actions that can or could prevent future incidents.

      Bloodborne pathogens are infectious microorganisms found in blood and other body fluids. The pathogens may contain many infectious diseases including HIV, Hepatitis B &C. 

     When cleaning staff come into contact with these pathogens it is important to use universal cautions. Staff should use proper protection including proper gloves. Staff should also know proper handling and disposal of the pathogens as well as soiled items such as gloves & cleaning materials.

     By using proper technique and being aware of hazards staff can keep themselves safe as well as any employees, customers, or clients of the place they are cleaning. This  is why all staff should be trained to handle bloodborne pathogens properly.
