Professional biohazard cleanup and decontamination services delivered with discretion, care, and industry-approved protocols.
Biohazard cleanup often means cleaning up areas where a traumatic event has occurred and requires professional cleanup of chemical spills, blood, or human and animal remains. Cleaning property during a biohazard cleaning includes the application of EPA-approved hospital-grade disinfectants and full deodorization of the affected space.
Keep in mind that the state is not responsible for restoring a crime scene. Once police investigators gather evidence from the scene, it is up to the property owner to seek biohazard cleaning services. A professional cleanup company can arrive onsite only after the police have gathered enough evidence about the crime.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issued a standard in 1991 to protect all workers from the dangers of blood or other potentially infectious materials (BOPIM). Hepatitis B virus, HIV, the 2019 Novel coronavirus (COVID-19), and many others are examples of Infectious pathogens.
An estimated 5.6 million workers in the medical field and related positions are covered by this standard. The biohazard remediation and cleaning field is also covered under the BOPIM standard.
Also, the BOPIM standard has several requirements, including:
More Common Biohazard Scenarios
Every time technicians handle potentially hazardous materials, they are doing so at significant risk. Thus, following correct proper training and safety procedures are very important. This is necessary not only for their own individual safety but also for the people who will live or work in the property after the biohazard cleanup is complete.
To work as a biohazard technician, a certification is not required. However, biohazard technicians are strongly required to wear correct PPE when working around bloodborne pathogens.
The state of Georgia recently passed a law that affects any firm providing biohazard cleanup related to trauma and crime scene cleanup and restoration. Therefore, you should refer to local city, state, and federal laws that may call for special licensing or have certain laws in place for licensing requirements, background checks, fingerprinting, or more factors that may apply to biohazard cleanup performance.
To protect the safety of our workers, PPE is used as the last line of defense. PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) protects the body from contacting hazardous materials via the skin, eyes, mouth, nose, or any other body parts. PPE-specific items change depending on the job but should always include cut-resistant and nitrile gloves, a full face guard, appropriately designated waterproof coveralls, and a respirator.
Reputable and trustworthy remediation companies train their employees to work in the biohazard cleanup and restoration field. This training includes implementing OSHA’s guidelines for handling biohazardous waste. This training protects all involved: technicians, bystanders, and future occupants. Furthermore, the risk of accidents and potential lawsuits goes down greatly.

Cleaning and applying hospital-grade disinfectants of frequently touched objects and surfaces are the recommended actions to help prevent the spread of respiratory diseases, like coronavirus. Since any surface can be contaminated after cleaning, and because the coronavirus is also spread person-to-person, PuroClean’s cleaning services are not guaranteed to thwart the spread of coronavirus.
