Special knowledge is necessary to handle bio-hazardous material in an appropriate manner and also to know what exactly to look for at a crime or biohazard scene. The cleaning company also needs permit to transport and dispose of bio-hazardous waste. We at Bio-Cleanse Pty Ltd have all of the necessary permits, training, expertise and most important, the willingness to handle gross filthy things that would send most of us running out the door to throw up in the bushes.
2. What is involved in a bio-hazard clean-
up?
ā¢ Cautiously assessing the situation to locate
the best way to do away with effected items
without endangering life.
ā¢ Items like carpet, walls, flooring, furniture,
wallpaper, etc. are removed & disposed in
bio-hazard bags at a federal- and state-
regulated site for disposal.
ā¢ Using a dumpster is against the law.
3. ā¢ State and federal laws require that a bio-
hazard clean-up company store records of
who and where items were disposed of, and
those stored records should be stored for a
minimum of 30 years.
ā¢ It is best to utilize bio-hazard specialized
technicians that have been thoroughly
trained and experienced to get rid of
hazardous items.
4. Can I use regular cleaners to remove
bio-hazard?
ā¢ Customary cleaners are NOT potent enough
to perform a bio-hazard clean-up. Using
hospital grade disinfectants will guarantee
certifiably protected premises, with the
correct application. Biohazard cleanup is a
genuine occupation, and requires the best
possible materials, protective equipment,
and training.
5. Can I have an employee, family member,
or colleague clean the bio-hazard scene?
No employee/family member/colleague can
be placed in a position to be exposed to blood
spills without first:
ā¢ Receiving blood- borne pathogen (BBP) training.
ā¢ Having a written BBP exposure control plan.
ā¢ Having been provided personal protective
equipment.
ā¢ Having been offered Hepatitis B vaccine &
exposure evaluation and follow-up.
ā¢ Being provided with a method to remove and
properly store the bio-hazardous waste in properly
marked containers for disposal at an approved site.
6. Only after the above 5 steps have been met can an
employee be permitted by his or her executive to
clean a crime scene.
Additionally an organization and its workers must
be authorized transporter to transport blood and
body fluid from one location to another.
And finally, if one is caught / suspected of
disposing illegally of blood and body fluid items,
the individual will be paying fines or prison time.
So it is best to hire a certified and experienced
company like Bio-Cleanse to do the bio-hazard job.
