Professional biohazard cleanup and decontamination services delivered with discretion, care, and industry-approved protocols.
In most cases, working with biohazards means handling dangerous materials such as chemical spills, blood, or human and animal remains. Traumatic accidents that involve serious injury or death are situations that call for professional biohazard restoration.
The cleanup process typically includes removing contaminants, applying EPA-approved hospital-grade disinfectants, and deodorizing the affected areas. These steps ensure the location is made safe for future use.
It’s important to remember that state investigators are not responsible for sanitizing a crime scene. Once law enforcement has finished gathering evidence and released the site, the property owner must arrange for cleanup. Only then can biohazard technicians begin their work.
In 1991, OSHA introduced the Bloodborne Pathogens (BOPIM) Standard to protect workers exposed to blood or other potentially infectious materials. This standard covers pathogens such as HIV, Hepatitis B, and COVID-19.
More than 5.6 million workers in healthcare and related industries benefit from this standard, and the biohazard remediation field is included.
The BOPIM standard requires:
PuroClean technicians face significant dangers each and every time they handle materials that are potentially hazardous. For this reason, the practice of proper training and safety precautions are critically important. The training and safety methods are important for both the technicians working on the project as well as the tenants who will be occupying the premises once the biohazard restoration is complete.
Forensic restoration, sometimes called “crime and trauma scene cleaning”, is the thorough remediation of properties contaminated or suspected to be contaminated by biological materials.
The process begins with a site and risk assessment. Technicians gather incident details, who, what, when, where, and how, to form a complete picture of the situation. This preparation ensures the team is physically and mentally ready to handle high-risk projects.

What Our Customers Say:
Biohazard technicians are not always required to hold formal certification, but OSHA mandates the use of proper PPE when handling bloodborne pathogens.
Local and state regulations may also require licenses, background checks, or other clearances. For example, Georgia has laws specifically governing trauma and crime scene cleanup.
PPE is the last line of defense, protecting the skin, eyes, mouth, and respiratory system. Equipment typically includes full-face shields, cut-resistant and nitrile gloves, waterproof coveralls, and respirators.
In most cases, cleaning and disinfecting are enough to remove odors, but additional deodorization methods can be used for stubborn contamination.
