Monkeypox cases continue to mount due to the rising outbreak, and proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE) is critical for keeping cleaning professionals safe. As of August 10, 2022, there were 10,392 total confirmed monkeypox/orthopox virus cases in America and, for restoration and cleaning professionals, having the right preventative measures and safety standards in place is highly important. Fortunately, the experts have provided insightful solutions that leaders can utilize for these very concerns.

Dr. Macgregor-Skinner stresses compliance with the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) Bloodborne Pathogens (BBP) Standard as well as the U.S. Department of Transportation’s (DOT) Hazardous Materials Regulations.
