PuroClean of Aurora is your local, trusted provider of biohazard clean-up services. We know this may be challenging, but we will treat you with dignity, respect, and understanding.

Our Biohazard Cleaning Services:

• Blood and Bodily Fluid Remediation
• Virus Decontamination and Protection
• Sewage Cleanup and Sanitation
• Deodorization and Odor Control
• Crime Scene Cleanup
• Hoarding Cleanup

When police and investigators finish gathering all the evidence from a crime scene, they are no longer responsible for any of the actual sanitizing of the scene. Once police release the crime scene area, the responsibility is with the owner of the premises to employ biohazard cleaning services. The biohazard cleaning crew can only begin their work after authorities have actually released the scene.

The Blood Or Other Potentially Infectious Materials Standard

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) posted a standard in 1991 to help guard all workers from possible 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.

BOPIM helps protect approximately 5.6 million people in the healthcare industry and similar occupations, which also includes biohazard remediation specialists. Biohazard remediation falls within the bounds of the BOPIM standard.

Also, the BOPIM standard consists of several requirements, including:

• Conduct a Health and Safety Assessment (OSHA requirement)
• Using work practice controls
• Using appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
• Proper handling, transport, and disposal of hazardous medical waste materials
• Specific required vaccinations
• Mandatory training
• Record keeping

More Common Biohazard Scenarios

• Crime or homicide scenes
• Suicide or death
• Blood and bodily fluid
• Hoarding scenes
• Animal waste or remains
• Chemical hazards
• Coronavirus contamination

PuroClean technicians face significant dangers each and every time they handle materials that are potentially hazardous. For this reason, the use of proper training and safety precautions are critically important. The training and safety actions are important for both the technicians working on the project as well as the individuals who will be occupying the space once the biohazard work is complete.

Biohazard Clean-up Process in Aurora, CO

1. Our process begins with a plan. Then, we assess the contamination and create a safe and effective biohazard remediation plan. 
2. We carefully remove all potentially infectious materials from the site and handle hazardous medical waste in compliance with OSHA regulations. 
3. We remove porous materials like carpet and bedding according to industry standards and government regulations. All other non-hazardous affected materials are either removed or professionally decontaminated and sanitized. 
4. Remaining materials, such as drywall and flooring, may be sealed to cover any stains from the incident, usually for cosmetic reasons.

Planning & Organization

First, we thoroughly assess the situation and the affected area (s). Then, we determine the level of containment needed and inform you of the action plan. 

Safety as a Priority in Aurora

It is critical to perform biohazard clean-up with particular attention to safety, industry, and OSHA standards. Our trained technicians wear specialized personal protective equipment to keep themselves safe. They also contain the area and take the appropriate steps to keep you and your family or employees safe. 

Medical Waste Removal

Hazardous medical waste, such as peritoneal, amniotic, spinal, and other bodily fluids, is handled following OSHA regulations and sent to a licensed hazardous medical waste incinerator.

Thorough clean-up & decontamination

We will adhere to industry standards and state regulations by removing all affected porous materials and safely discarding all other infectious materials. When treating non-porous surfaces, we dry the affected area before applying a disinfectant. After allowing the disinfectant to soak, we scrub, repeating the process to disinfect the space.

Deodorization

Usually, after cleaning the biohazard and sanitizing the area, odors tend to dissipate. However, our crew will determine whether further deodorization is necessary. If so, we use hydroxyls or ozone to eliminate the odor.

PuroClean RapidDefense™ Program
