When a tragic event strikes your property, home, or business, it can be overwhelming to know where to begin in terms of biohazard cleanup. Regardless of whether you’re wrestling with a situation that involves a crime scene, medical emergency, or even an industrial accident, one thing is certain: you need a team of experts to swiftly remove all hazardous materials, thoroughly clean the property, and help you rebuild and move forward.
What is Biohazard Cleanup?
Biohazard applies to any biological risk to the environment or people’s health. Biohazardous materials can be present in a number of circumstances from crime scenes to an unattended death or any other other traumatic or unexpected event related to or producing biological matter.
Common examples include substances you would associate with hospitals and medical facilities and can include the following:
- Animal and human blood
- Animal and human waste
- Human and animal remains
- Medical waste (needles and bandages)
- Rotting food
Quick and efficient removal and cleanup is vital to reduce the exposure and spreading of a number of harmful health risks and contaminants, such as:
- Blood-borne pathogens
- Airborne pathogens
- Bacteria and viruses
- Toxins
Whatever the event or source of the waste, it is essential that homeowners or tenants evacuate the premises and turn over the task of cleanup and resolution to professionals. Licensed removal experts will follow an intensive and detailed process to effectively remove all contaminants, deep-clean the area, provide thorough sanitation, disinfection, and deodorization, and ensure that it is safe to inhabit again.
Understanding the Complexities of Biohazard Cleanup
After a traumatic event that results in biohazard cleanup needs, it’s essential to find professionals who can properly handle the various nuances of the process.
While each event requires a targeted and specific cleanup plan, the general course of action may involve first visiting and inspecting the property, assessing the scope of the cleanup needs, and moving forward with a targeted waste removal and biohazard abatement plan.
This plan involves a fleet of industry-specific equipment, sanitizing materials, aids and processes geared specifically toward dealing with biohazard waste.
Also, because the sheer breadth of contamination spans much further than the eye can see, there is also the need to modify a restoration and cleanup strategy in the event that damage is more layered or widespread than originally perceived. For example, the presence of blood on floorboards or walls is much more involved than simply spot-cleaning the impacted areas. Bio-matter can seep into structural materials below the floor, into grout between tiles, and also contaminate the air with odors and disease-spreading matter.
Regardless of the scale of the event, biohazard cleanup requires a detailed and attentive action plan in adherence to WI and MI state and federal laws, standards, and practices and involves a thorough remediation process that can accommodate the often changing and complicated needs of a trauma or biohazard site.
When it comes to the cleanup of, disinfecting of, and sanitization of any property or surfaces that have been exposed to, or suspected of being exposed to bloodborne pathogens such as bacterial agents, viruses, fungis (fungus), parasites, etc, the work is best left to professionals, risking exposure can lead to longterm health ramifications, many of them permanent and extremely debilitating to quality of life, and in some cases can be lethal.
