Our biohazard remediation services consist of thoroughly cleaning and applying EPA-approved hospital-grade disinfectants and then thoroughly deodorizing the location.

When police officials are finished gathering evidence from the scene, cleaning the area shifts to the property owner to employ biohazard cleanup services, professional cleanup teams can arrive onsite only when the police have gathered enough evidence related to the crime.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">BOPIM Standard<\/h2>\n<p>In 1991, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issued a standard to protect workers from the risk of blood or other possibly infectious materials (BOPIM). Infectious pathogens include the Hepatitis B virus, HIV, the 2019 Novel coronavirus (COVID-19), and many more.<\/p>\n<p>This standard helps protect nearly 5.6 million workers in the healthcare industry and related jobs, including biohazard remediation businesses. Biohazard remediation is within the scope of the BOPIM standard.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The BOPIM standard additionally consists of specific requirements, such as:<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Record keeping<\/li>\n<li>Mandatory training<\/li>\n<li>Specific required vaccinations<\/li>\n<li>Proper handling, transport and disposal of hazardous medical waste materials<\/li>\n<li>Using appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)<\/li>\n<li>Using work practice controls<\/li>\n<li>Conduct a Health and Safety Assessment (OSHA requirement)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>More Common Biohazard Scenarios<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/honolulu-hi-puroclean-property-restoration-services\/services\/biohazard-cleanup\/crime-scene-cleanup\/\">Crime or homicide scenes<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Suicide or death<\/li>\n<li>Blood and bodily fluid<\/li>\n<li>Hoarding scenes<\/li>\n<li>Animal waste or remains<\/li>\n<li>Chemical hazards<\/li>\n<li>Coronavirus contamination<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Every time abatement specialists handle potentially hazardous materials; they are doing so at significant risk. Thus, following specific proper training and safety procedures are very important. This is necessary for their own individual safety and the individuals who reside in the property after the biohazard remediation is complete.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Certification Required to Perform Biohazard Remediation?<\/h2>\n<p>To work as a biohazard technician, a certification is not required. However, biohazard specialists are strongly required to wear correct PPE when working in areas with bloodborne pathogens. Georgia recently passed a law that affects any firm providing remediation services related to traumatic event locations and crime scene cleaning and restoration. Therefore, you should refer to local city, state, and federal laws that could call for specific licensing or have certain rules and regulations in place for licensing requirements, background checks, fingerprinting, or further factors that may apply to biohazard remediation services.<\/p>\n<p>Personal Protective Equipment or PPE is the final line of defense that aids in keeping workers safe. PPE prevents hazardous materials from reaching the workers through skin, eyes, nose, mouth, or another contact. The type of PPE does vary depending on the project. However, it should always consist of properly designated waterproof coveralls, nitrile gloves which are also cut resistant, a full-face guard, and a respirator.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":7,"template":"","class_list":["post-15","service","type-service","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":{"hero_subtitle":"Professional biohazard cleanup and decontamination services delivered with discretion, care, and industry-approved protocols.","show_content_tabs":true,"content_tabs_section_title":"PuroClean Offers Biohazard Cleanup Services","content_tabs":[{"title":"Blood and Bodily Fluid Remediation","content":"Accidents and traumatic events can leave behind hazardous biological materials that require specialized cleanup.

When the technicians have a plan laid out, remediation begins right away.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Technicians will first take precautions to ensure their safety and the safety of others near the affected areas.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Technicians then gather and dispose of all potentially infectious materials from the project.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>OSHA regulations will indicate how hazardous medical waste is handled. As an example, spinal fluid, peritoneal fluid, amniotic fluid, and other body fluids are carefully removed and taken to a licensed hazardous medical waste incinerator.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Per industry guidelines and state laws, technicians have to dispose of porous materials like fabric and carpeting that can\u2019t be properly cleaned.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hospital-grade disinfectants will be used on non-porous items that can be saved. If the items end up being non-restorable, our technicians will remove and discard such items.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Following the cleaning process, technicians will deodorize all affected areas and assure the areas are returned to pre-contamination cleanliness and appearance. One procedure that ensures areas are completely cleansed and ready for people is to have a licensed industrial Hygienist perform clearance testing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Odors are normally controlled by the getting rid of uncleanable contaminated items and cleaning with hospital-grade cleaning products. However, difficult situations could require further procedures of deodorization to achieve the desired goal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Biohazard Remediations Provided with Empathy<\/h3>\n\n<p>As with any property damage, PuroClean restoration professionals ensure that any actions do not worsen your feeling of losing the property owners.
