Swift Biohazard Cleanup: Protect Your Environment

Expert Biohazard Cleanup Protocol: Ensuring Home Safety

Every case is different and will require a specific protocol. To explain how it works, let’s look at one common scenario where biohazard remediation may be needed by a homeowner or property owner – when someone dies inside the home.

If this unfortunate event happens, the first thing you need to do is call 911. The person will be pronounced dead and then you can arrange to transport the body to a mortuary or crematorium.

After that, it is time to call a biohazard remediation team. The reason – blood, tissues and bodily fluid have likely contaminated the home, including furniture, flooring and other nearby objects. These things must be cleaned up properly by a trained professional.

The cleanup team will then arrive on the scene. They begin by suiting up, wearing a biohazard suit that will protect them from any contaminants. They then remove any materials that were touched by blood and fluids. These materials will be safely stored and disposed of. After materials have been removed, the team will clean and decontaminate the area.

Every case will have a slightly different procedure, but the basic steps are (1) Respond; (2) Suit Up; (3) Clean & Decontaminate; (4) Dispose of Infected Materials.
