    Having certification in green cleaning does not just simply benefit your employer, it benefits you as an employee but also as a person. People will know that on top of providing a cleaning service you are committed to protecting the environment, which is absolutely invaluable in today's world. 

    As an individual who works almost exclusively with cleaning products that are green seal certified, I can personally assure anyone who's skeptical that green seal certified chemicals are not hazardous to the environment and they do a first rate job at keeping our buildings clean and sanitary. At my city, we've long been striving to be as eco-friendly as possible and still provide quality services to the community, and I can say we deliver that certainly, there is always room for improvement and by taking the step to use eco-friendly products we've made just that much more progress.

    Think about cleaning products from decades past, and to some extent not all that long ago as well, they did their job by cleaning. However, there was always the risk of damage to the environment, but human health as well. That is something that should always be taken into consideration. Take for example, medicine that's made specifically for children, when your kids are sick you naturally want them to take medication, however you want to be sure that what they take is safe for younger people, as an adult dosage could seriously cause harm. 

    To sum it all up, we can do what we need to do in many ways, so there's no reason why we shouldn't take the time to get green cleaning certification or look into cleaning services that specialize in green cleaning, it is a naturally mutual benefit to the planet and customers and clients. Whichever path of life we may be on, whichever career we decide to take, all of us can agree that having a clean world is of utmost importance. Now that we have that chance there's no reason not to take it, look no further than the IJCSA Green Cleaning Directory, there's no better place to start your search then right here. https://www.ijcsa.org/Green-Cleaning-Services

    Bloodborne pathogens are microorganisms that are in human blood and has the potential to cause various disease if exposed. These diseases may include HIV/AIDS, hepatitis b, hepatitis c, malaria, and syphilis. The CDC reported that approximately 5.6 million healthcare and janitorial service workers are at risk of exposure to bloodborne pathogens. Therefore, we must maintain gaining knowledge of bloodborne pathogens.

    It's important to have knowledge of bloodborne pathogens because when knowledge is applied correctly it reduces the potential of a threat. Continually educating yourself on OSHA guidelines keeps the employer and their employees safe, also eliminates exposure in the workplace. With the training and guidelines of OSHA, it teaches us that we should treat all bodily fluids as if they are contaminated since there is no way to differentiate between infected fluids and non-infected fluids.

    In conclusion, educating ourselves about bloodborne pathogens should remain our priority. Annually educating ourselves and employees on the proper clean up of bodily fluids will continue to ensure workplace safety. Taking the initiative to meet OSHA guidelines will help you and others around you by limiting exposure.

    Green is now! We have entered an age of being more conscious of the environment and the products we use. The smell of harsh chemicals is no longer the sign of a clean home or business. The correct term for that strong smell is call Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs).

It’s time we put ourselves and our loved ones first!

    Our cleaning employees and staff play a critical role in maintaining health and safety in various environments, especially those where bloodborne pathogens may be present. Bloodborne pathogens, such as Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, and HIV, can have serious health consequences if exposure occurs. It is essential for cleaning personnel to be educated about these risks, as they may encounter potentially infectious materials in their daily tasks. Training programs mandated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) ensure that employees understand the dangers associated with bloodborne pathogens and are equipped to take appropriate precautions.

    Effective training on bloodborne pathogens empowers cleaning staff to recognize situations that pose exposure risks and to utilize personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, masks, and goggles. They also learn proper cleaning techniques and the safe disposal of contaminated materials. By understanding these practices, employees can significantly reduce the likelihood of infection for themselves and others. Additionally, using eco-friendly cleaning products enhances health and safety in the workplace while contributing to a more sustainable environment of safety is vital in organizations where cleaning staff work with potential hazards. When employees are well-informed about bloodborne pathogens, they are more likely to adhere to safety protocols, report incidents promptly, and engage in preventative practices. This proactive mindset not only protects the health of individual workers but also safeguards clients and the wider community from potential infections. Investing in training on bloodborne pathogens is an essential aspect of promoting workplace safety, enhancing employee confidence, and ensuring efficient cleaning operations .

    Understanding Bloodborne Pathogens: A Crucial Element in Employee Safety

    In any workplace, the safety and well-being of employees are paramount, and this includes knowledge about potential health hazards such as bloodborne pathogens. These invisible threats, including viruses like HIV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C, can be present in blood or other bodily fluids and pose serious risks if not handled correctly. Educating employees and staff about bloodborne pathogens is not just a legal requirement in many industries, but it is a critical step in fostering a secure and healthy work environment.

    Preventing Workplace Risks: The Power of Knowledge

    Awareness about bloodborne pathogens empowers employees to take proactive measures, reducing the risk of exposure and transmission. IJCSA training programs provide valuable insights into proper handling, disposal of contaminated materials, and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE). This knowledge ensures that employees understand the importance of exercising caution when dealing with situations that may involve blood or bodily fluids, minimizing the potential for accidents or exposure. By equipping staff with the necessary information, businesses create a culture of safety, reinforcing the idea that every individual plays a crucial role in maintaining a secure workplace.

    Legal Compliance and Ethical Responsibility

    Beyond the immediate health benefits, ensuring that cleaning employees are well-versed in bloodborne pathogen safety is often a legal requirement. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations mandate training programs for employees who may be at risk of exposure. Companies failing to comply with these regulations not only risk legal consequences but also jeopardize the well-being of their workforce. Ethically, it is the responsibility of employers to provide a safe working environment, and comprehensive training on bloodborne pathogens is a fundamental component of fulfilling this obligation. In doing so, businesses not only protect their employees but also contribute to the overall health and safety of the community.

    Cleaning workers are a vital resource essential to carry out health and safety functions. They are responsible for carrying out the assigned tasks to remove organic and inorganic dirt and other contaminants safely and effectively. This leads to great results in improving health and reducing disease through the elimination and prevention of the spread of germs and viruses. In addition, they improve the image and aesthetics of our homes and workplaces, which causes a better emotional and physical state, greater productivity and quality in our lives and the environment.

    It is of utmost importance that employees have the knowledge of the transmission of pathogenic microorganisms through blood, not only because the law requires it, but for the good and safety of all, since we are all prone and at risk of contracting health problems such as hepatitis B and C viruses and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) due to lack of knowledge of how to proceed when you run the corresponding cleaning tasks correctly. The correct use of personal protective equipment and informative training and its consistency is relevant to eliminating any dangerous risk of exposure. There is no doubt that it is the safest way to prevent exposure and counteract the risk that cleaning workers carry every day.

    More than a responsibility, a commitment when it comes to implementing rules and procedures, a commitment to us and to society. The health and safety of everyone is the highest priority on the part of the appropriate authorities and on the part of us as cleaning workers. In the same way, we play an important role in the work structure since we are responsible for providing all the necessary equipment so that our employees have the confidence and security that they are protected when carrying out their work. Providing them with all the necessary information for them to develop their activities and be able to feel safe and capable that they are doing so.
