D. Blood-borne diseases
Cleaners in medical facilities may come into contact with bodily fluids, contaminated surfaces, and medical waste, putting them at risk of exposure to blood-borne pathogens such as HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C. Proper training, use of personal protective equipment (PPE), and adherence to infection control protocols are essential for minimizing the risk of exposure to blood-borne diseases.
While burns, head injuries, and electrical shocks are potential hazards in various workplaces, they may not be as common for cleaners in medical facilities compared to the risk of exposure to infectious materials.
