Traumatic events or accidents that have resulted in injury or death, require certified biohazard restoration professionals. This biohazard cleaning consists of the thorough cleansing and application of EPA approved hospital grade disinfectants and then completely deodorizing the location. Chemical spills, blood, and human or animal remains are types of biohazard materials that call for professional cleaning.
Keep in mind that state investigators aren’t required to clean crime scenes. When the authorities and investigators have completed gathering their evidence, the responsibility falls to the owner of the property to arrange biohazard cleaning services. Only after the authorities have collected pertinent evidence and have released the scene will biohazard cleanup professionals start their work.
The (BOPIM) standard means “blood or other potentially infectious materials”. Infectious pathogens can be anything from Hepatitis B, HIV, and even the 2019 Novel coronavirus (COVID-19), and much more. In 1991, OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) set forth a standard to protect all employees from dangers due to blood or other potentially infectious materials (BOPIM).
This standard helps protect nearly 5.6 million workers in the healthcare field and related jobs, which also includes biohazard remediation companies. Biohazard remediation is within the scope of the BOPIM standard.
Additionally, the BOPIM standard includes several requirements, including:
Common Biohazard Scenarios
Every instance that technicians need to handle potentially hazardous materials, it is quite a significant risk. Thus, adhering to safety procedures and the correct training is necessary. The significance of these procedures are both for the employees and people who will later occupy the previously biohazard affected space. The technicians and residents depend on these safety procedures. The safety of both technicians and residents from biohazard dangers is of utmost importance during and after the project.
Biohazard workers are not required to obtain a special certificate to go to work. They are to follow OSHA requirements, however, to wear the proper PPE when working with or near bloodborne pathogens. We also suggest you follow the local city, state, and federal regulations for exact licensing obligations, laws, background checks, fingerprinting or other possible requirements to perform biohazard restoration. For example, the state of Georgia put forth a new law that is directly related to any company providing restoration services for crime scene and trauma cleanup.
Personal Protective Equipment or PPE is the last line of defense that aids in keeping workers safe. PPE stops any hazardous materials from touching workers, through skin, eyes, nose, mouth, or any other exposure. Exact PPE does vary depending on the project, however, it should always consist of properly designated waterproof coveralls, nitrile gloves which are also cut resistant, full-face protection, and a respirator.
Additionally, well established restoration firms offer biohazard handling training for new employees. The training consists of learning on-the-job safety procedures as set by OSHA, for handling biohazardous waste. Learning these things reduce risks of accidents, or even potential litigation situations.

Cleaning and application of hospital grade disinfectants of frequently touched objects and surfaces are the suggested actions to help prevent the spread of respiratory diseases, like coronavirus. Since any surface can be re-contaminated following cleaning, and because the coronavirus is also spread person-to-person, PuroClean’s cleaning services cannot be guaranteed to prevent the spread of coronavirus. Visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html) for more information regarding coronavirus, its spread, and prevention.
