Professional biohazard cleanup and decontamination services delivered with discretion, care, and industry-approved protocols.
Biohazard remediation involves cleaning, application of EPA approved hospital grade disinfectants, and deodorizing locations where a traumatic event such as an accident, injury, or death has happened. Thus, dealing with biohazards often means working with blood, human or animal remains, chemical spills, and more hazmat cleanup.
Bear in mind that state investigators aren’t required to clean crime scenes. When police and investigators are finished gathering their evidence, the responsibility falls to the property owner to arrange for hazmat cleanup professionals. Only after the authorities have collected all evidence and have re-opened the scene will biohazard cleanup professionals start their work.
In 1991, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issued a standard to protect workers from the dangers of blood or other possibly infectious materials (BOPIM). Infectious pathogens include the Hepatitis B virus, HIV, the 2019 Novel coronavirus (COVID-19), and many more.
Approximately 5.6 million workers in healthcare and related occupations are helped by this standard. The biohazard remediation and hazmat cleanup field is also covered under the BOPIM standard.
Also, the BOPIM standard consists of several requirements, including:
Common Biohazard Scenarios
Each and every time abatement specialists handle potentially hazardous materials, they are doing so at considerable risk. Thus, following specific proper training and safety procedures are very important during the hazmat cleanup. This is important not only for their own personal safety but also for the people who will live or work in the property after the biohazard remediation and hazmat cleanup is complete.
To work as a biohazard specialist, a certification is not required. However, biohazard technicians are strongly required to wear proper PPE when working around bloodborne pathogens. The state of Georgia recently passed legislation which affects any company providing hazmat cleanup services related to traumatic event locations and crime scene cleanup and restoration. Therefore, you need to review and follow local city, state, and federal requirements that may call for special licensing or have certain laws in place for licensing requirements, background checks, fingerprinting or additional factors that may apply to biohazard cleanup businesses.
PPE is the final line of defense and helps ensure the safety of workers. PPE equipment blocks hazardous material from reaching the body through the skin, eyes, mouth, nose, or any other area. Although PPE differs from project to project, it should always include full-face protection, cut resistant and nitrile gloves, properly designated waterproof coveralls, and a respirator.

Cleaning and application of hospital grade disinfectants of frequently touched objects and surfaces are the much needed actions to help prevent the spread of respiratory illnesses, like coronavirus. Since any surface can be re-contaminated after cleaning, and since the coronavirus is also spread person-to-person, PuroClean’s cleaning services can’t be guaranteed to prevent the spread of COVID-19. 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.
