Preventing the spread of infectious diseases is vital in the workplace to any employee that would be exposed.  It is important for anyone who would encounter bloodborne pathogens to prevent the spread of infectious diseases.  Hepatitis B and HIV to name a few are serious illnesses that are preventable.  Healthcare professionals are not the only employees that need to have the knowledge of the risks of disease exposure.  It is a must for commercial cleaning professionals to have the proper training and knowledge of the risks of diseases and what they can do to prevent the spread.  

The customers are reliant upon the professional cleaners to contain their workplace and or home to be sanitized and healthy clean.  With the expectations of the employees, there is also an expectation of the employer to maintain the proper training materials to keep the employees well informed to prevent the risks of exposure and to remain safe.  Cleaning professionals protecting themselves and others should be one of the important values to have working in the cleaning industry.  These practices generally take place annually.     

Precautions must be taken with every step in the cleaning industry by simple steps of handwashing and utilizing proper hand washing techniques.  When every individual involved follows the proper protocols in the elimination process of spreading diseases, there would be less reports of potential spread of potential diseases and etc.
