What is meant by efficient and effective blood and biohazard remediation?
The term ‘biohazard remediation’ refers to the cleaning, disinfection, and removal of any blood, bodily fluids, and other potentially harmful pathogens from a given area. These are usually the result of some kind of dramatic event, accident, or other traumatic incident but can also be found when there are outbreaks of communicable diseases.
The risk of transmission is significant in cases where biohazards are present and this must be avoided at all costs. Efficient and effective blood and biohazard remediation is a serious, sensitive matter that needs to be handled with skill and consideration. This is where expert professionals like the team at Aftercare step in and handle the situation.
Health and Safety
How blood cleanup companies ensure safe and effective remediation is the key to their level of service and its final outcomes. Each situation presents its own set of challenges, particularly when it comes to the health and safety of individuals that come into contact with it.
The science of efficient and effective blood and biohazard remediation
There are strict guidelines in place in the shape of OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Act) and at Aftercare, we follow these and other industry best practices when dealing with any contaminated area. The way we do this is as follows:
- Assess the situation and create a plan of action
The first task our teams perform is to simply make observations about the scene and identify any specific hazards and potential problems.
- Seal the area
It is of little use to clean one area if boots come walking through and carry biohazard material elsewhere.
- Remove hazardous materials
Using the very latest in protective equipment and bespoke tools and equipment, our team proceeds to remove all unwanted materials.
- Disinfect and deodorize
Once the area has been cleaned of larger items and liquids, fully approved disinfectants and deodorizers are applied to help restore it to its original state.
- Inspect and test
No scene is considered clean until after ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) testing which is a highly sensitive way of assessing whether a surface can support the growth of bacteria and other pathogens. When our work is complete, the scene will comply with the same stringent standards of cleanliness required in hospitals and other medical facilities.
