Traumatic accidents or events that have resulted in injury or death, call for certified biohazard cleanup professionals. PuroClean’s biohazard cleaning consists of the extensive cleaning and application of EPA approved hospital grade disinfectants and then thoroughly deodorizing the area. Chemical spills, blood, and human or animal remains are situations of biohazard materials that call for professional remediation.
Keep in mind that state investigators aren’t required to sanitize crime locations. When the authorities and investigators have completed gathering their evidence, the burden falls to the property owner to arrange biohazard cleaning professionals. Only after the authorities have collected all evidence and have released the scene will biohazard cleanup technicians start their work.
The BOPIM standard stands for “blood or other potentially infectious materials.” Infectious pathogens can include Hepatitis B, HIV, the 2019 Novel coronavirus (COVID-19), and much more. In 1991, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) set forth a standard to protect all employees from risks due to blood or other potentially infectious materials (BOPIM).
Nearly 5.6 million workers are helped by BOPIM in healthcare jobs and related fields, and includes biohazard restoration companies too. The BOPIM standard also covers the biohazard cleaning and restoration industry.
Also, the BOPIM standard has several requirements, including:
Common Biohazard Scenarios
Every time biohazard workers handle potentially hazardous items, they are doing so at significant risk. Therefore, following correct proper training and safety procedures are crucial. This is necessary not only for their own individual safety but also for the individuals who will live or work in the property after the biohazard cleanup is complete.
To work as a biohazard technician, a certificate is not required. However, biohazard workers are strongly required to wear proper PPE when working in areas with bloodborne pathogens. The state of Georgia recently passed a law which affects any business providing cleanup services related to traumatic event locations and crime scene cleaning and restoration. Therefore, you should refer to local city, state, and federal requirements that may call for specific licensing or have certain rules and regulations in place for licensing requirements, background checks, fingerprinting or more factors that may apply to biohazard cleanup services.
Personal Protective Equipment or PPE is the final line of defense that aids in keeping workers safe during all biohazard cleanups. PPE guards against any hazardous materials from coming into contact with workers, through skin, eyes, nose, mouth, or any other contact. The type of PPE can differ depending on the particular work, however, it should always consist of properly designated waterproof coveralls, nitrile gloves which are also cut resistant, full-face guard, and a respirator.
Furthermore, reputable biohazard cleanup companies offer biohazard remediation training for technicians. That includes learning OSHA’s on-the-job safety procedures when working with biohazardous waste. Doing this reduces the potential of accidents and probable lawsuits.

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