Traumatic events or accidents that may have resulted in injury or death, need the services of certified biohazard remediation professionals. Our biohazard cleaning consists of the extreme cleaning and application of EPA approved hospital grade disinfectants and then thoroughly deodorizing the premises. Chemical spills, blood, and human or animal remains are situations of biohazard materials that call for professional remediation.<\/p>\n
Keep in mind that the state is not responsible for cleaning up a crime scene. After police investigators gather evidence from the scene, it is the responsibility of the property owner to employ biohazard cleaning services. A professional cleanup team can arrive onsite only after the police have gathered enough evidence related to the crime.<\/p>\n
The (BOPIM) standard stands for \u201cblood or other potentially infectious materials\u201d. Infectious pathogens are generally anything from Hepatitis B, HIV, and even the 2019 Novel coronavirus (COVID-19), and many others. In 1991, OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) set forth a standard to protect all workers from dangers due to blood or other possible infectious materials (BOPIM).<\/p>\n
Approximately 5.6 million workers are helped by BOPIM in healthcare positions and related occupations, and includes biohazard restoration companies as well. The BOPIM standard also covers the biohazard cleaning and restoration industry.<\/p>\n
The BOPIM standard also has several requirements, as follows:<\/p>\n
Common Biohazard Scenarios<\/strong><\/p>\n PuroClean specialists face significant risk each and every time they handle items 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 tenants who will be occupying the space once the biohazard work is complete.<\/p>\n To work as a biohazard specialist, a certification is not required. However, biohazard specialists are obligated to wear proper PPE when working around bloodborne pathogens. The state of Georgia recently passed a law which affects any business providing restoration services related to traumatic event locations and crime scene cleaning and restoration. Therefore, you need to review and follow local city, state, and federal requirements that may call for special licensing or have certain rules and regulations in place for licensing requirements, background checks, fingerprinting or further factors that may apply to biohazard cleanup performance.<\/p>\n PPE protects the safety of employees and is the last line of defense. 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 be different on different job sites. However, PPE should always consist of full face protection, cut resistant and nitrile gloves, properly designated waterproof coveralls as well as a respirator.<\/p>\n Reputable restoration companies provide biohazard restoration training for individuals. Learning OSHA\u2019s on-the-job safety methods for handling biohazard waste is included in the coursework. The technician\u2019s training greatly reduces the risk of potential lawsuits or injuries from accidents.<\/p>\n PuroClean Biohazard Cleanup Process<\/p>\n As with any type of property damage, PuroClean restoration professionals ensure that their actions do not worsen your feeling of loss of the property owners.
