Thus, projects with biohazards often means working with blood, human or animal remains, chemical spills, and more.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Included Within The Biohazard Cleaning Services<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"color: #c5091d\"><a style=\"color: #c5091d\" href=\"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/stamford-ct-puroclean-stamford\/services\/biohazard-cleanup\/sewage-cleanup-sanitization\/\">Sewage Cleanup and Sanitation<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #c5091d\"><a style=\"color: #c5091d\" href=\"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/stamford-ct-puroclean-stamford\/services\/biohazard-cleanup\/virus-decontamination-and-protection\/\">Virus Decontamination and Protection<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #c5091d\"><a style=\"color: #c5091d\" href=\"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/stamford-ct-puroclean-stamford\/services\/biohazard-cleanup\/blood-bodily-fluid-remediation\/\">Blood and Bodily Fluid Remediation<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #c5091d\"><a style=\"color: #c5091d\" href=\"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/stamford-ct-puroclean-stamford\/services\/biohazard-cleanup\/hoarding\/\">Hoarding &amp; Clutter Cleanup Services<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #c5091d\"><a style=\"color: #c5091d\" href=\"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/stamford-ct-puroclean-stamford\/services\/biohazard-cleanup\/crime-scene-cleanup\/\">Crime Scene Cleanup<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #c5091d\"><a style=\"color: #c5091d\" href=\"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/stamford-ct-puroclean-stamford\/services\/biohazard-cleanup\/deodorization-odor-control\/\">Deodorization and Odor Control<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Keep in mind that the state is not responsible for cleaning up a crime scene. Once police investigators collect evidence from the scene, it is up to the property owner to employ biohazard cleaning services. A professional cleanup company can arrive onsite only after the police have gathered all evidence pertaining to the crime.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Blood or Other Potentially Infectious Materials (BOPIM) Standard<\/h2>\n<p>The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) put out a standard in 1991 to help guard all workers from the 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.<\/p>\n<p>This standard helps protect nearly 5.6 million workers in the healthcare field and related occupations, that also includes biohazard removal businesses. Biohazard cleanup falls within the scope of the BOPIM standard.<\/p>\n<p>Also, the BOPIM standard consists of several requirements, including:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\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<li>Record keeping<\/li>\n<li>Mandatory training<\/li>\n<li>Specific required vaccinations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Common Biohazard Situations<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Blood and bodily fluid<\/li>\n<li>Suicide or death<\/li>\n<li>Crime or homicide scenes<\/li>\n<li>Coronavirus contamination<\/li>\n<li>Chemical hazards<\/li>\n<li>Animal waste or remains<\/li>\n<li>Hoarding scenes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Each and every time that PuroClean professionals handle materials that are possibly hazardous, they are taking a chance of serious risk to their safety. This is why following precise safety methods and specific training procedures are necessary. Following these procedures is not only significant to the technician\u2019s safety, but for the safety of the people who will later reside and occupy the affected space once the biohazard cleanup and restoration is finished.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Certification Needed to Perform Biohazard Cleanup?<\/h2>\n<p>It is not particularly necessary to obtain a certification to become a biohazard technician. However OSHA does require biohazard technicians to correctly wear PPE when handling bloodborne pathogens. Furthermore, you will want to check your local city, state, and federal regulators for certain licensing requirements, laws, background checks, fingerprinting, or any other procedures that may be required to perform remediation services. For example, the state of Georgia passed a law that affects companies providing remediation services linked to trauma and crime scene cleanup.<\/p>\n<p>PPE protects the safety of workers and happens to be the last line of defense. This equipment protects the skin, eyes, mouth, nose and other body parts from coming into contact to hazardous material. The extent of PPE used on each project may vary on different projects. However, PPE should always include full face protection, cut resistant and nitrile gloves, properly designated waterproof coveralls as well as a respirator.<\/p>\n<p>Reputable remediation companies provide biohazard restoration training for individuals. Learning OSHA\u2019s on-the-job safety processes for handling biohazard waste is included in the coursework. The technician\u2019s training greatly lessens the risk of potential lawsuits or injuries from accidents.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our Biohazard Cleanup Process in Stamford<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The first task of the restoration crew is to inspect and flag all areas needing biohazard cleanup, perform a health and safety assessment, and identify the scope of the biohazard cleanup. When the technicians have a plan in place, restoration will start immediately<\/li>\n<li>All technicians will take precautions to ensure their safety and that of anyone close to the biohazard affected locations.<\/li>\n<li>The PuroClean technicians will then remove and dispose of all potentially infectious materials from your property.<\/li>\n<li>OSHA rules dictate exactly how hazardous medical waste is to be handled. As an example: spinal fluid, peritoneal fluid, amniotic fluid, and any additional bodily fluids are carefully handled and relocated to a licensed hazardous medical waste incinerator.<\/li>\n<li>Per state regulations and industry guidelines, technicians are obligated to dispose of porous materials like fabric and carpeting that cannot be sufficiently cleaned.<\/li>\n<li>Non-porous items that are salvageable will be cleansed with hospital grade disinfectants. If these items are unable to be restored, our technicians will remove and dispose of the items.<\/li>\n<li>Following the cleaning process, technicians deodorize all affected locations and return these places to pre-contamination condition and appearance. One procedure that proves areas are fully cleansed and ready again for habitation is to have a licensed industrial Hygienist perform clearance testing.<\/li>\n<li>Odors can normally be controlled by the eradication of unsalvageable contaminated materials and by cleaning items with hospital-grade cleaning products. However, tough situations may call for further procedures of deodorization to accomplish success.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":11,"template":"","class_list":["post-15","service","type-service","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":{"service_name":"Biohazard Cleanup","service_is_featured":true,"service_tagline":"Professional biohazard cleanup and decontamination services delivered with discretion, care, and industry-approved protocols.","service_icon":"","service_short_description":"<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Biohazard situations, including crime scene cleanup and virus decontamination, require specialized cleaning and handling to protect health and safety.
