PuroClean RapidDefense™ is the best way to sanitize public areas. Our system helps stop the spread of pathogen-based illnesses, such as Influenza and Norovirus.
Traumatic accidents or events that have resulted in injury or death, require certified biohazard restoration professionals. This biohazard cleaning consists of the extreme cleansing and application of EPA approved hospital grade disinfectants and then completely deodorizing the area. Chemical spills, blood, and human or animal remains are situations of biohazard materials that call for professional remediation.
When police and investigators have gathered all the evidence from a crime scene, they are no longer responsible for any of the actual sanitizing of the scene. When police release the crime scene area, the responsibility falls on the owner of the premises to procure biohazard cleaning services. The biohazard cleaning crew can only start doing their work after police have officially released the scene.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) put out a standard in 1991 to protect 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 more are examples of Infectious pathogens.
The BOPIM standard helps protect close to 5.6 million people in the healthcare field and related occupations, that also includes biohazard remediation businesses. Biohazard remediation falls within the scope of the BOPIM standard.
Additionally, the BOPIM standard includes several prerequisites, including:
Common Biohazard Situations
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 employed on the project as well as the persons who will be occupying the area once the biohazard restoration is complete.
To be employed as a biohazard specialist, a certification is not required. However, biohazard technicians are strongly required to wear proper PPE when working in areas with bloodborne pathogens. The state of Georgia recently passed legislation which affects any company providing remediation 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 could call for special licensing or have certain rules and regulations in place for licensing requirements, background checks, fingerprinting or additional factors that may apply to biohazard cleanup companies.
Personal Protective Equipment or PPE stands as the final line of defense that helps keep workers safe. PPE stops any hazardous materials from reaching the workers, through skin, eyes, nose, mouth, or any other contact. The type of PPE can differ depending on the project, however, it should always include properly designated waterproof coveralls, nitrile gloves which are also cut resistant, full-face guard, and a respirator.
Furthermore, reputable restoration companies offer biohazard remediation classes for technicians. That includes learning OSHA’s on-the-job safety methods when handling biohazardous waste. Doing so reduces the potential of accidents and probable legal action against you.
The PuroClean Process of Biohazard Cleanup
PuroClean restoration professionals are very aware of their actions and make attempts to not add to an already trying situation. With any sort of property damage, the feeling of loss felt by the property owners is already quite high, and we try not to add to this stress. Owners and technicians from PuroClean try very hard to be extra sensitive, with complete understanding of the extreme emotions and traumatic situations present. PuroClean will always show empathy, extra care and compassion.
PuroClean has adopted a cleaning program that we feel is the best way to clean. The PuroClean RapidDefense™ Program includes the application of EPA certified hospital-grade disinfectants in common areas. The 2019 Novel coronavirus (COVID-19), Norovirus, Influenza and other pathogen-based germs are the goal of our RapidDefense™ Program, helping to stop the spread of such illnesses. Environmental Protection Agency-registered, safe solutions are used for this process for up to 90 days of protection against pathogens. Contact PuroClean to prevent an outbreak and help build a safe and clean environment.

Cleaning with the use of hospital grade disinfectants of frequently touched objects and surfaces are the recommended actions to help stop the spread of respiratory diseases, like coronavirus. Since all surfaces and objects can be re-contaminated following cleaning, and because COVID-19 is also spread person-to-person, PuroClean’s cleaning services are not guaranteed to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
