Blood is a tricky substance to deal with. If blood is spilled on a surface, the proper cleanup is necessary due to the bloodborne pathogens that can harm anyone exposed to them. Bloodborne pathogens can be deadly so safety blood cleaning precautions are crucial to eliminate the threat.

Bloodborne pathogens are infectious microorganisms found within the blood of human beings. These pathogens can harm other humans, causing disease.

It is important to minimize exposure to blood in order to minimize the risks.

Although not all blood contains deadly pathogens, there is no way to really know if the present blood is contaminated or not unless specifically stated by the source.
