Understanding Bio-Hazard Clean Up

2/1/2019 (Permalink)

Each biohazard cleanup project requires a unique set of tools to ensure cleanliness, safety, and time-effectiveness. The cleanup team must wear personal protective gear, which includes a one-time-use suit, gloves, chemical-spill boots, and filtered respirators. In addition to traditional cleaning supplies, a crime scene cleanup team will need professional tools. To remove odors, cleaners use an ozone machine, foggers, and industrial-strength deodorizers. To clean the area, the team uses hospital-grade disinfectants, a no-touch cleaning system, a truck-mounted steam-injection system, a chemical treatment tank, and 55-gallon biohazard waste containers.

The Process of Thoroughly Cleaning an Area

Biohazard cleaning requires much more than taking care of appearances. Even if a scene looks totally clean, on a microscopic level it could contain pathogens that make people sick months or even years later. This is why cleanups can take from one hour to more than 40 hours.

Bio Hazard Remediation - When to Make The Call

When to call a biohazard remediation service

A bio hazard remediation contractor should be called for the following situations:

• Deaths in the home or workplace

• Gross filth removal

• Trauma scenes

• Car accidents

• Feces removal

• Animal infestations

• Hoarding removal

• Human decomposition

What is biohazard remediation?

Biohazard remediation contractors are often referred to as crime scene cleaners, but the job entails much more than cleaning up after a death. Since the contractors are tasked with removing any type of biohazardous waste, they often get called to the scene of car wrecks, fights and accidents in the workplace. Additionally, biohazard cleaners will remove animal infestations, clean up animal feces and homes where hoarding has occurred.

A bio hazard remediation contractor is not a coroner, and will not remove a body from the scene of a death. Instead, the contractor will come in after the coroner has removed the body and restore the scene to its original condition. The job revolves around containing the biological matter, preventing it from spreading and eliminating it completely.
