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 taken place. Thus, projects with biohazards often means working with blood, human or animal remains, chemical spills, and more.
It is important to remember that the state officials are not required to clean up a crime scene. When police investigators are finished gathering evidence from the area, the responsibility of cleaning the area shifts to the property owner to seek biohazard cleaning services. Professional cleanup teams can arrive onsite only after the police have gathered all evidence related to the crime.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issued a standard in 1991 to protect all workers from the dangers of blood or other potentially infectious materials (BOPIM). Hepatitis B virus, HIV, the 2019 Novel coronavirus (COVID-19), and many others are examples of Infectious pathogens.
This standard helps protect nearly 5.6 million workers in the healthcare field and related occupations, which also includes biohazard remediation companies. Biohazard remediation is within the scope of the BOPIM standard.
Additionally, the BOPIM standard includes several requirements, as follows:
Common Biohazard Situations
Each and every time that PuroClean technicians handle materials that are possibly hazardous, they are taking a chance of significant risk to their safety. This is why following proper 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 property owners who will later reside and occupy the affected space once the biohazard cleanup and remediation is finished.
Biohazard specialists are not obligated to obtain a special certificate to do their work. They are subject to OSHA requirements, however, to wear the proper PPE when working with or close to bloodborne pathogens. We also recommend you follow the local city, state, and federal regulations for exact licensing obligations, laws, background checks, fingerprinting or additional requirements to perform biohazard restoration. For example, the state of Georgia voted in a new law that is directly related to any company providing restoration services for crime scene and trauma cleanup.
Personal Protective Equipment or PPE stands as the final line of protection that helps keep workers safe. PPE guards against any hazardous materials from reaching the workers, through skin, eyes, nose, mouth, or any other contact. Exact PPE does vary depending on the particular work, however, it should always include properly designated waterproof coveralls, nitrile gloves that are also cut resistant, full-face protection, and a respirator.
Additionally, well known restoration firms offer biohazard remediation training for new employees. The training includes learning on-the-job safety procedures as set by OSHA, for handling biohazardous waste. Learning these guidelines reduce risks of accidents, or even potential litigation situations.

Cleaning and application of hospital grade disinfectants of frequently touched items and surfaces are the recommended actions to help prevent the spread of respiratory diseases, like coronavirus. Since any location 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 about coronavirus, its spread, and prevention.
