Professional biohazard cleanup and decontamination services delivered with discretion, care, and industry-approved protocols.
Biohazard restoration involves cleaning, applying EPA-approved hospital-grade disinfectants, and deodorizing locations where a traumatic event such as an accident, injury, or death has occurred. Thus, working with biohazards often means working with blood, human or animal remains, chemical spills and more.
Once police and investigators finish gathering all the evidence from a crime scene, they are not responsible for any of the actual sanitizing of the scene. Once police release the crime scene area, the responsibility is with the property owner to employ biohazard cleaning services. The biohazard cleaning crew can only begin their work after authorities have officially released the scene.
The (BOPIM) standard means “blood or other potentially infectious materials.” Infectious pathogens can be anything from Hepatitis B, HIV, and even the 2019 Novel coronavirus (COVID-19), and much more. In 1991, OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) set forth a standard to protect all workers from dangers due to blood or other potentially infectious materials (BOPIM).
This standard helps protect approximately 5.6 million workers in the healthcare industry and related occupations, including biohazard restoration companies. Biohazard remediation falls within the scope of the BOPIM standard.
Also, the BOPIM standard consists of several requirements, including:
Common Biohazard Situations
Every time biohazard workers handle potentially hazardous items. They are doing so at significant risk. Thus, following correct proper training and safety procedures are crucial. This is important for their own personal safety and for the individuals who will reside in the property after the biohazard restoration is complete.
Biohazard technicians are not required to obtain a specific certificate to do their work. However, they are subject to OSHA requirements to use the proper PPE when working with or near bloodborne pathogens. We also recommend you check the local city, state, and federal regulations for exact licensing obligations, laws, background checks, fingerprinting, or other possible requirements to perform biohazard restoration. For example, the state of Georgia put forth a new law connected to any company performing restoration services for crime scene and trauma cleanup.
PPE ensures the safety of technicians and is the last line of protection. This equipment protects the skin, eyes, mouth, nose, and other areas from being exposed to hazardous material. The extent of PPE used on each project may differ on different projects. However, PPE should always include full-face protection, cut-resistant, and nitrile gloves, properly assigned waterproof coveralls, and a respirator.
Reputable and trustworthy remediation firms train their employees to work in the biohazard restoration industry. This training includes teaching OSHA’s directions for handling biohazardous waste. This training protects all involved: technicians, bystanders, and future occupants. Furthermore, the risk of accidents and potential lawsuits is limited greatly.

Cleaning and applying hospital-grade cleaners of frequently touched objects and surfaces are the recommended actions to help prevent the spread of respiratory illnesses, like coronavirus. Since any surface can be re-contaminated after cleaning, and because the coronavirus is also spread person-to-person, We can’t guarantee PuroClean’s cleaning services to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
