In many cases, working with biohazard materials means working with chemical spills, blood, human or animal remains. A traumatic accident that ended in injury or death are circumstances that require biohazard cleanup. The actual biohazard cleanup involves cleaning, applying EPA approved hospital grade disinfectants, and deodorizing locations where traumatic events have taken place.
Once police and investigators have gathered all the evidence from a crime scene, they are no longer responsible for any of the actual cleanup of the scene. Once police release the scene, the responsibility is with the owner of the premises to procure biohazard cleaning services. The biohazard cleaning crew can only begin their work after police have officially released the scene.
The (BOPIM) standard means “blood or other potentially infectious materials”. Infectious pathogens can range from anything from Hepatitis B, HIV, and even the 2019 Novel coronavirus (COVID-19), and many others.
In 1991, OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) set forth a standard to protect all workers from dangers due to blood or other potentially infectious materials (BOPIM).
The standard helps protect nearly 5.6 million workers in the healthcare field and related occupations, which also includes biohazard restoration companies. Biohazard remediation falls within the scope of the BOPIM standard.
The BOPIM standard additionally consists of various requirements, such as:
Common Biohazard Scenarios
Every single time that PuroClean technicians handle materials that are potentially hazardous, they are taking a chance of significant risk to their safety. This is why following precise safety methods and exact training procedures are so important.
Following these procedures is not only significant to the technician’s safety, but for the safety of the people who will later reside and occupy the affected space once the biohazard cleanup and remediation is finished.
To be employed as a biohazard specialist, a certification is not required. However, biohazard workers are obligated to wear correct PPE when working around bloodborne pathogens. The state of Georgia recently put into law which affects any company providing cleanup services related to trauma and crime scene cleaning and restoration.
Therefore, you need to review and follow local city, state, and federal regulations 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 companies.
To help ensure the safety of our technicians, PPE is used as the last line of defense. PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) protects the body from coming into contact with hazardous materials, via the skin, eyes, mouth, nose, or any other body parts. PPE types change depending on the job, but should always include cut resistant and nitrile gloves, full face protection, appropriately designated waterproof coveralls, and a respirator.
Reputable restoration companies offer biohazard restoration training for workers. Learning OSHA’s on-the-job safety processes for handling biohazard waste is included in the training. The technician’s training greatly lessens the risk of potential lawsuits or injuries from accidents.

Cleaning and application of hospital grade cleaners of frequently touched objects and surfaces are the suggested actions to help stop the spread of respiratory diseases, like coronavirus. Since any surface can be re-contaminated following cleaning, and because COVID-19 is also spread person-to-person, PuroClean’s cleaning services are not guaranteed to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
