Biosafe's Trainer

Eddie Evans is a professional trainer and he believes that biohazard cleaning is a serious business; no holds bard. He believes that proper hygiene training for the workplace ought to instill trainees with a holistic approach to bloodborne pathogens. For Eddie, this means that trainees need to learn that work place safety training ought to include training for off-site behavior, 24/7/365. Without this approach, according to Eddie, trainees are left with a part-time attitude toward bloodborne pathogen safety behavior.

Such attitudes produce real problems we learn from other aspects of our daily lives, like "part-time parenting." So it is no wonder that a part-time hygiene and safety attitude must be abandoned in professional cleaning.

So how does Eddie Evans expect to bridge the gap between work place behavior and behavior elsewhere in his trainees’ lives?

Eddie does this by bringing his personal and professional training experience to cleaning. Select students become part of an on-going program to observe, consider, test, and revise work procedures based upon soundly shaped outcomes. This is Eddie's version of the scientific method applied to cleaning.

With ten years experience as a high school teacher, Language Arts, Eddie's passion for education and the power of language reflect in many ways. He brings the subtleties of language and its power to inform and misinform to training.

Eddie helps trainees understand that their safety and the safety of their families and co-workers is bound up in their use and misuse of words -- written and spoken. Trainees are encouraged to grasp how their language behavior shapes their attitudes toward hygiene and other behavior encountered in the professional cleaning field.

Of course Eddie ensures that OSHA’s bloodborne pathogen training receives on-going attention. He shows students what he is going to cover; He then covers the required OSHA material. Studnets learn to summarize the minimum of what they need to know for OSHA compliance in their own terms - - Eddie calls this his "train the trainer" approach to combating disease while encouraging a positive attitude to life long learning.

So Eddie does not leave the trainees’ cleaning training to an indexed outline for testing purposes. He takes care to embed this training into trainees’ working and personal lives. Eddie instructs trainees to “learn to learn” and “each one teach one in a caring” manner so that students take this holistic approach to learning with them at the end of their training day.

Eddie sincerely believes that in no other way can the threat of bloodborne pathogens’ multi-dimensional ecology be controlled in the work place or elsewhere. Likewise, a respect toward controled cleaning environment learned here may one day generalize to airborne pathogen defenses.

Eddie asks trainees, “How do you know?”, and most typically, his trainees have added a new understanding to "knowing" and safety by the end of their first exposure to Eddie Evans.

Eddie brings decades of experience and education to helping others learn new ideas. His degrees include an Associate of Arts in General Eddieucation, a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology, and a Master of Science in Educational Counseling. Eddie eagerly earned his teaching credentials for teaching High School English, English as a Second Language, Sociology, Social Studies, and Adult Eddieucation.

His graduate studies include World literature as well as contemporary sociological theories, which compliment is studies of education theory and methods.

Eddie taught in public schools for over ten years. He has taught privately for two years as a traffic school instructor, and he has taught English as a Second Language privately.

Eddie’s training experience includes 23 years training soldiers while serving in the Regular Army, Reserve, and National Guard. It is in the military that Eddie began his carrier handling and cleaning objects soiled by by human blood and other potentially infectious material (OPIM). This training goes unmatched as an introduction to crime scene cleanup.
