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 may have resulted in injury or death, call for certified biohazard cleanup professionals. PuroClean’s biohazard cleaning consists of the thorough cleaning and application of EPA approved hospital grade disinfectants and then thoroughly deodorizing the premises. Chemical spills, blood, and human or animal remains are examples of biohazard materials that call for professional restoration.
Bear in mind that state investigators aren’t required to sanitize crime scenes. When Police and investigators have completed gathering their evidence, the burden falls to the property owner to arrange biohazard cleaning services. Only after police have collected all evidence and have re-opened the scene can biohazard cleanup technicians start their work.
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 others are examples of Infectious pathogens.
The BOPIM standard helps protect close to 5.6 million people in the healthcare field and similar occupations, which also includes biohazard remediation companies. Biohazard remediation falls within the coverage of the BOPIM standard.
Also, the BOPIM standard consists of several requirements, including:
More Common Biohazard Scenarios
Every time abatement specialists handle potentially hazardous items, they are doing so at significant risk. Therefore, following specific proper training and safety procedures are very important. This is important not only for their own personal safety but also for the people who will reside in the property after the biohazard restoration is complete.
Biohazard technicians are not required to get a certificate for their employment. However, biohazard technicians are required, by OSHA, to wear proper PPE while working with bloodborne pathogens. Furthermore, for workers to perform biohazard remediation, local, city, state and federal regulations may call for licensing requirements. Laws may be in place that call for the technicians to submit to background checks, fingerprinting, or further actions. Georgia’s requirements are a good example. The state passed legislation that affects companies who provide trauma and crime scene cleanup.
PPE protects the safety of employees and is the last line of defense. This equipment guards the skin, eyes, mouth, nose and other body parts from being exposed to hazardous material. The extent of PPE used on each project may be different on different projects. However, PPE should always include full face protection, cut resistant and nitrile gloves, properly assigned waterproof coveralls and a respirator.
Reputable restoration companies offer biohazard restoration training for individuals. Learning OSHA’s on-the-job safety processes for handling biohazard waste is a significant part in the training. The technician’s training greatly lessens the risk of potential lawsuits or injuries from accidents.

Cleaning with the use of hospital grade disinfectants of frequently touched objects and surfaces are the suggested actions to help prevent the spread of respiratory diseases, like coronavirus. Since all surfaces and objects can be re-contaminated after cleaning, and because COVID-19 is also spread person-to-person, PuroClean’s cleaning services are not guaranteed to prevent the spread of coronavirus. Visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html) for more information regarding coronavirus, its spread, and prevention.
