What happens after a fire accident?

You may be anxious to clean your home after a fire, but unless you take the time to get professional advice, you may be wasting your efforts or creating further damage. Contact a professional service immediately once the fire is out. They can provide advice on restoration or replacement of damaged items. 

Why there is a need to hire a professional fire restorer? Fire restorers can prevent further damages, help determine which items can or cannot be refurbished, provide estimates and services for thoroughly cleaning and deodorizing your home. Professional services at times can be expensive, but the cost may be substantially less than the cost of replacing damaged furnishings and floors. 

Preventing Further Damage

Before hiring a professional fire restorer to do the big tasks, you can minimize further damage by following these guidelines. Before starting with the tasks you need to be sure that its safe enough to re-enter your home, ask for expert advice. Get the air moving. Open windows to ventilate areas. Install a fan to circulate  air. 

Note: If there has been substantial water damage and the weather is warm, you will probably need to keep the windows shut and run a dehumidifier. In cold weather, your heating system is operating and the cold air will usually help remove the moisture.

Dry wet items as soon as possible. Use fans and dehumidifiers to dry carpets and draperies. If not thoroughly dried, carpets and floors underneath may be quickly damaged beyond repair by mould and mildew.

Remove brass and copper items and clean them using brass or copper cleaner. Place aluminum foil or plastic food wrap under furniture legs. Remove oriental rugs or other colored rugs from wet wall-to-wall carpeting. Cover dry, clean items with plastic while repairs are in progress.

Benefits of Dry Ice Blasting

Dry ice-blasting is a form of abrasive blasting, where dry ice, the solid form of carbon dioxide, is accelerated in a pressurized air stream and directed at a surface in order to clean it. 

Dry Ice blasting is a more technical, effective and advanced way of cleaning compared to other traditional cleaning methods. 

Benefit #1: Decrease of time because of Cleaning In-Place

Typical cleaning procedures require that equipment be disassembled and moved to an assigned area for proper cleaning. That is not the case with dry ice blasting. Therefore Dry Ice Blasting saves time and helps in faster working process.

Benefit #2: Faster and More Thorough Cleaning

With dry ice blast cleaning, a superior clean can be achieved while reducing hours when compared to scrubbing with abrasive pads or wire brushes. A tremendous labor savings is accomplished.

Benefit #3: Elimination of Equipment Damage

Dry ice blasting often eliminates equipment damage. Dry ice is non-abrasive to surfaces and does not change a surface’s structure. It lifts the contaminants away. And because equipment can now be cleaned in place, potential damage from moving equipment to and from a dedicated cleaning area is also eliminated.

Benefit #4: Reduction or Elimination of Solvents

Dry ice blasting uses no solvents, but instead uses harmless CO2 pellets. This can be a critical need for certain companies in order to comply with environmental regulations or to improve worker safety.

Benefit #5: Reductions in Waste Disposal

With other cleaning methods, whether it be with solvents, sand blasting or some other means, the cleaning agent becomes a secondary contaminant and must be disposed of as toxic waste along with the primary contaminant. However, with dry ice blast cleaning because the CO2 pellet vaporizes upon contact, the only waste created is the contaminant itself. 

Benefit #6: Increased Safety

Dry ice blasting pellets are non-toxic, non-hazardous creating advantages to the environment, your employees, and production facility.

Proper sewage cleanup is necessary

Always practice for proper hygiene! Sewage spills can harm your health adversely and give you lots of problems health-wise.

Dirty or contaminated water is the world's biggest health risk, and continues to threaten both quality of life and public health. Running water picks up toxic chemicals, dirt, trash and disease-carrying organisms along the way. 

If you have items contaminated by flood waters or sewage spills, proper cleaning and disinfecting procedures should be followed to prevent illness. Raw sewage contains biological agents such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites that can cause serious illness and even death. Always presume that floodwater is contaminated with sewage so there is a need to take precaution before coming in contact with any of such water streams.

Contaminated water is not only harmful to mankind but also fish, birds and wildlife. So there is a need to prevent contamination of water whenever possible and hire professional services to handle the situation properly. 

In the urban areas, water gets contaminated in many different ways, some of the most common reasons being leaky water pipe joints in areas where the water pipe and sewage line pass close together. Sometimes the water gets polluted at the source due to various reasons mainly due to the inflow of sewage into the source.

Sewage cleaning should be taken very seriously; it also shouldn’t be carried out by a common man. It is a high-risk cleanup, it can give you a lot of diseases or sickness. Professional help is required for such matters.

The global water crisis claims 3.4 million lives each year: Act fast!

How Crime scene clean up works

Crime scene cleanup is a term applied to specific situations involving blood, bodily fluids and other potentially infectious materials, it is also referred to as biohazard remediation because crime scenes are only a portion of the situations in which biohazard cleaning is needed. 

Some of the types of crime include:

• Suicides
• Homicides
• Decomposition or unattended death
• Mass trauma
• Industrial accidents
• Infectious disease contamination
• Animal biohazards (e.g. feces or blood)

Deaths or suicides can be a messy scene, with blood on the wall and fluids all over the place, things all scattered around, etc. Police officers are at the scene investigating the death or suicide, compiling to a chaotic situation. The place is sealed and only authorized members can enter in the marked territory. 

Weak hearted people and people who cannot bear seeing blood are advised not to go anywhere close near such crime scenes. In the earlier times, after going through a shocking event of your family member or friend getting killed or committing suicide, the family members were still forced to clean the blood and fluids and removing of the corpse. 

In the late 90’s, a whole new industry called ‘crime scene clean up’ was born; to help and give protection to the ailing families after the crime had occurred. Professionals are involved in cleaning these crime scenes; it also requires a significant amount of training and special knowledge to complete the job properly. The job is hazardous, grueling and not for the faint-of-heart. And only personnel with a trained license can carry out this job.

Cleaning a former Meth Lab

Meth labs are undoubtedly highly dangerous. Many of the meth labs that have been set up in the past leave behind many residues which can be highly dangerous to human health. 

So, first of all you need to find out whether your house, building or property was a meth lab previously. How do we find out? Here are some of the sicknesses that people living in a former meth lab suffer from:

• Shortness of breath 
• Liver or kidney damage 
• Dizziness or headache 
• Burns to eye, nose and mouth. 

Once any of the above signs are noticed in any person living in the property, a proper professional should be instantly hired to inspect the property.

After the necessary inspection is done and details are noted down, a report is generated. This report is very important for cleaners to know what the exact situation of the place is.

A certain procedure is followed to clean the affected property. To begin with, an on-site inspection of site is done, followed by checking the meth lab percentage before and after clean-up, contamination and removal and disposal, cleaning of plumbing systems, cleaning of HVAC’s, review of property and recovery report.

Cleaning up a House in Brisbane

We were called out to this place in Brisbane for a hoarding cleanup. This one was particularly interesting, inside and out. The owner had apparently been living in this filth for years and had collected mounds of bottles, boxes, dishes and the worse is the cats and dogs. The cats were running loose all over the house, no litter boxes anywhere so they urinated and dropped faeces all over the place.

Cat urine has a very strong odour and is very hard to eliminate with routine cleaning. If there is carpet, as was the case here, it has to be pulled up because the urine seeps through to the padding and saturates it. The smell spreads to every room; the cats shed their hair everywhere. It’s just gross and smelly!

The man who lived here had apparently died of a heart attack recently and his kids inherited the property. They must not have been to visit him in a long time or they just had no clue how he was living. I’m amazed he could even breathe in here that’s how bad it was.

We, the professionals at Bio Cleanse Pty. Ltd., use methods that are very strong that won’t just mask the odour, but totally remove it. We threw out all garbage to dumpsters we had kept outside. The dogs and cats have been shifted to some animal care centre. They had dog houses here, so it wasn’t as bad as it should be.

The guy even had a collection of junk in the garage and yard. He had old cars, bicycles, tires, and so on. Who knows, some of it might have some value if you could get past the dirt and the smell.

We get calls like this quite frequently. Hoarders have a different mentality than most people. They find comfort in collecting what other people see as garbage. Some of them seem to be immune to the trash and smell. It’s hard to understand, but it’s more of a problem than most realize.

Decontamination cleaning

Bio-hazard covers a variety of events that pose a risk to human health. For instance, substances like bodily fluids, blood and faeces can carry viruses like HIV, hepatitis B & hepatitis C. Safe decontamination cleaning of affected areas, which have been soiled by a bio-hazardous incident, are necessary in order to reduce and eradicate the risk of infection from exposure.

If left unattended, bodily fluids such as blood, urine and vomit, percolate into areas that are not visible to the untrained eye, making the risk of exposure to infection a lot greater.

It is vital that the right procedures are followed during decontamination clean-up process and that the appropriate personal protective equipment is worn by anyone entering the contaminated place (including staff). With the use of advanced equipment, the area is thoroughly decontaminated, ensuring the potentially unsafe area is left infection/disease/virus free. 

There is nothing more important than your family’s wellbeing. Hence, it’s always best to get a team of professionals who understands the sensitivity & risks involved in the decontamination cleaning process.

What precautions should be taken when dealing with needle sticks?

Okay to start with, what are needle/syringe injuries? Needle or syringe injuries are wounds caused by needles that accidentally pierce the skin. Injection of blood-borne viruses is the major hazard of needle stick injuries. Viruses like AIDS (HIV), Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C are some of the diseases spread due to unattended or disposed needles and sharp objects. The term “sharp” means objects or devices with sharp points, or cutting edges that are capable of cutting or piercing the skin.

So what precautions need to be taken when dealing with needle sticks and sharp objects? First of all, don’t place your hands into areas or objects you cannot see clearly because the sharp objects may be concealed in such places. Some of the examples of such places are over grown gardens, old beds and mattresses, rubbish bins, etc. Precautions like wearing gloves or using a pair of tongs should be taken when removing such sharp objects.

Do not manually compress rubbish bags in case they contain needles, syringes or any other sharp and dangerous objects. Use any compressing mechanism to compress such stuff or use any other object to help you with it (ex: a stick). 

Always categorize your domestic and industrial waste into 3 parts: Dry waste, wet waste and chemical waste. Things like sharp objects of needles and syringes which are dangerous to human health fall in the third category i.e. chemical waste. And this chemical waste shouldn’t be touched or dealt with bare hands; it should be disposed with utmost care or preferably, call a professional cleaning service to handle it in a safe and a professional manner. 

When any such dangerous objects are found in the open, it should be kept away from children. Never handle more than one item at a time while cleaning such objects; it might prick you and cause you harm. Finally, never play with sharp needles and syringes, trying to flick them or spin them for fun. It may be a contagious needle.

A suicide is a tragic event - both for the family and the community, and it seems extremely unfair for the family to do all cleaning and disposing, when they are the ones who are going through this sad phase. 

There are many fluids and bio-hazards that can’t be seen by the naked eye.

You need a highly qualified and certified person for these jobs where there is no chance of mistakes and yet work needs to be carried out in a short time span. Contact us at 042 741 1789 or visit us on http://www.bio-cleanse.com.au/.

6 tips to prevent water damage

1. Be careful where and what you plant: Some plants and trees have very invasive roots and if you aren't careful, they will grow right through your pipes, septic tanks, drainage fields and so on. So therefore, there is a need to choose wisely what to grow and where to grow. 

2. Clean out roof gutters: Check your rooftop gutters every month and make sure they are cleaned. Leaves, bird’s nests, sticks and so on, get collected on roof tops and block the pipe system which in turn blocks the full water flow. On a rainy day, a clogged gutter can send water spilling into your home’s foundation, through the roof, or down to your basement. That could cause some serious water damage!

3. Keep a track on pipe leaks in your house: With so many water pipes hidden behind walls and in the floors in your house, you might not know there’s a leak until the damage is done. That’s why it’s a good idea to keep a close eye on your monthly water bill. If you see it starting to creep up, or get one that’s uncommonly high, it’s a pretty good sign that you may have a leak somewhere.

4. Never pour grease down your sink: You should definitely avoid pouring grease down your kitchen sink. It doesn't matter if you flush it with hot or cold water. It can still clog your pipes, and could cause some serious damage and blockage.

5. Don't use chemicals to unclog your pipes: Don't use chemicals to unclog your pipes, it might be convenient, but most people don't realize those concentrated chemicals are also eating away at the pipes. If you rely on them a lot, you could be setting yourself up for leaks and water damages.

6. Elevate furnaces, hot water heaters and electrical panels to a higher position: Elevate furnaces, hot water heaters and other electrical panels and instruments to a higher place so that any major disaster can be averted.

10 Tips for Compulsive Hoarding

Overcoming hoarding disorder can be a real challenge, but it isn’t impossible. Trying to get rid of your old habits can be hard, but everybody has to start somewhere. All it takes is one step at a time. Compulsive hoarding is a result of the following 5 habits:

1. Indecisiveness.
2. Perfectionism. 
3. Procrastination. 
4. Avoidance behaviours. 
5. Difficulty organizing tasks.

         

Here are a few tips to overcome it:

• Don’t buy stuff you don’t need in the near future. 
• More is not necessarily better; limit your usage of products to just one!
• Categorize files or things into categories or departments. 
• Use the OHIO rule, which stands for ‘Only Handle It Once’. Don’t move your things from one file to another, dispose it or keep it in its proper place once for all. 
• Just because you can’t find a reason to dispose, it doesn't mean you have to keep it. 
• Dispose everything you have not used for over a year. 
• Sell, recycle, reuse. 
• Keep a carton for things you don’t need, make a pile and dispose it on a regular basis. 
• Detach yourself from old stuff, even if you have an emotional attachment. 
• Ask for professional help, if you can’t do it on your own.

11 Guidelines to clean Urine and faeces

Urine and faeces cleaning can be a nuisance; it is a very unusual and tedious job to get done. It’s mostly not a pleasant and welcoming job to carry out for a normal person, because lots of precaution and patience is needed for this task to be undertaken. Here are some guidelines to keep in mind during cleaning urine and faeces:

                               

1. Urgency is a must; the faster you clean up the mess, the better it is. Fewer stains are likely to set if it’s cleaned quickly. 
2. You should not only remove the stains, but also deodorize the affected area and remove the odour completely.
3. While deodorizing the affected area, even the areas that can’t be smelt by a human should be taken into consideration. Remember animals have a much greater sense of smell. If they can detect a prior odour, they might try to mark over it.
4. Use non-toxic products that are specifically made to remove stains and odour. Especially for homes, since they organically break down waste while neutralizing odour. 
5. For home use, there are also non-toxic, inexpensive cleaning solutions you can make use of at home itself using easily available ingredients such as baking soda, white vinegar and club soda.
6. Treat stains and odour instantly and thoroughly to avoid permanent damage to your house products. 
7. Soak up urine with a white towel or paper towel. 
8. Blot, never rub the stain. Rubbing can or may damage your item. 
9. Rinse the area with water to dilute the urine; this might make it easier to clean. 
10. Scoop up solid materials as soon as you can, liquid can be cleaned later.
11. When it comes to urine, club soda is very effective. After cleaning it with club soda blot the affected area. 

These guidelines will definitely help you in keeping your place clean, hygienic and odour-less. But before you start with your task, always keep in mind that precaution is better than cure! So take necessary precautions of covering yourself up well before starting any cleaning.

Unattended Death Cleanup

Body decomposition or unattended deaths are more common than people realize. Because the moment we die, the body begins to decompose, and hotter the climate, the faster it decomposes. The smell is unbearable and fluids from the body seep into mattresses, pillows, clothes, carpets, etc. Cleaning a death scene is a very tedious task and needs lots of emotional and physical stability.

Decomposition’s are a very sad reminder that the person died alone and was unattended for an unknown period of time before being discovered. Body decomposition cleanup is a serious issue that has to be carried out by a professional. Body fluids can contain diseases and must be cleaned up thoroughly and right. 

A decomposed body is mostly covered with blood, tissue, bodily fluids, urine, and faeces; this can be a very hard sight for a loved one. When a body decomposes, the body turns into liquid again; this can get really messy. It’s a very hard and sorrowful time for the known people related to the deceased. We understand how difficult it is at a time like this. We make it a bit easier and give you the assurance that the job is done right and as fast as possible.

A single drop of decomposing bodily fluid can contain germs, bacteria, and active diseases that will remain viable and dangerous for long periods of time. Therefore, a professional and an experienced service is a must. 

We at Bio-Cleanse Pty. Ltd. have equipment like disinfectant cleaners, and advanced training in order to properly handle the scene of an unattended death. Our death scene cleaning technicians will show up promptly, work quickly and thoroughly and with utmost care and compassion for family friends and loved ones.

Dangers of Meth lab

The risk from a chemical injury depends entirely on the chemical quantity, concentration and the length of chemical exposure. Anyone spending time in a formal meth lab may be at a huge health risk.

Acute exposure:

A chemical exposure which occurs for only a short period of time may result in health effects known as acute exposure. Slight exposure to this contamination can cause shortness of breath, dizziness, burns to the skin, eyes, nose and mouth, lack of coordination, cough, chemical irritation, chest pain and death, in severe cases. Other symptoms caused from meth lab exposure are nausea, fatigue and lethargy. These symptoms have been found in people who have entered a meth lab after the raid has occurred but before the lab has properly been cleaned or ventilated. Anyone spending a short time in such labs experiences these symptoms.

Corrosive effects:

Inhalation or skin exposure may cause severe injury to health from corrosive substances present in a meth lab. Such symptoms are chest pain, shortness of breath, burns to the skin and cough.

Solvents:

Exposure to meth lab solvents can cause irritation to the skin, mucous membranes, respiratory tract and cause central nervous system effects. They also cause severe skin burns.

Chronic exposure:

Chronic exposure appears over an extended period of time (weeks, months or years). Symptoms of Chronic exposure health effects are cancer, damage to the brain, liver and kidney, birth defects and reproductive disorders like miscarriages.

Sewage Clean up

Sewage spills are dirty, unpleasant and cause vast disruption and harm to your home or business area. Sewage is basically a water-carried waste that is filled with body wastes, washing water, food preparation wastes, laundry wastes, wet raw unused materials, etc. These spills have an unbearable smell and are not safe for health too. Sewage spills can account for too many sickness and disease, especially to children and spread viral infections. 

Sewage consists of bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites that can cause serious illness and even death. You must presume that most flowing water is contaminated with sewage. 

The risk of contamination from unknown chemicals in industrial sewage such as solvents, carcinogens and pesticides is incredibly high. The potential danger of toxic and flammable gases within a confined space can also be hazardous to your business and can have disastrous consequences to the environment and local water supply.

If you have items contaminated by flood waters or sewage spills, proper cleaning and disinfecting procedures should be followed to prevent illness. Spills from sewage pipes can spread rapidly, so it is essential that any spills are dealt with quickly and effectively to minimize exposure and contain the spread.

Cleaning a sewage spill needs a lot of skill and time. It needs to be done by certified specialists, because there is a lot of risk in health and physical safety. Safety is very important while cleaning such spills, like wearing a raincoat, rubber boots and waterproof gloves, besides masks.

We at Bio Cleanse take proper care and do things in a safe and systematic way. We have hi-tech mechanism tools to clean affected areas quickly. We contain and eliminate potentially harmful sewage spills and focus on disinfecting affected areas thoroughly.

10 things you should know about Compulsive Hoarding

Compulsive Hoarding is a type of behavior characterized by acquiring and failing to throw out a large number of items that would appear to have little or no value to others, such as notes, flyers, or newspapers.

Here are the 10 things you need to know about Compulsive Hoarding:

• Compulsive hoarding affects approximately 700,000 to 1.4 million people in Australia. 
• Compulsive hoarding is often considered a form of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) because between 18 and 42 percent of people with OCD experience some compulsion to hoard. 
• The compulsion to hoard often starts during childhood or the teen years, but doesn’t usually become severe until adulthood. 
• Hoarding often runs in families and can frequently accompany other mental health disorders like depression, social anxiety, etc. 
• People fall into the trap of compulsive hoarding because of reasons like: sentimental value, emotional attachment or to remember an important life event. 
• Also for utility value - the item is, or could be, useful. 
• And for aesthetic value - the item is considered to be attractive or beautiful. 
• People who probably have problems organizing and maintaining possessions go through this disorder. 
• Hoarding also increases the risk of structural damage to the building structure, a consequence of the sheer weight of the hoarded items. 
• Compulsive hoarders rarely recognize their problem. And it isn’t something that should be taken lightly; it should be taken care of, as soon as possible.

6 ways to prevent home odours

It does not matter if it is trash, mould or pet smell. Any kind of odour can cause havoc on one’s nose and it can be nerve wracking. Here are some tips to avoid unpleasant odour.

• Removing general odours - First thing is to find out where the odour is coming from. Then clean the area or item causing the odour with antibacterial detergent using hot soapy water. 

• Removing smoke odours - One of the quickest ways to remove smoke odours is to open the windows and allow fresh air to circulate throughout the room. 

• Removing refrigerator odours - Cleaning refrigerator odours can be very simple. Just go through the contents in the fridge and remove old and stinky food items. But if the refrigerator is not cleaned for months, than it’s always better to clean the entire fridge with a soft cloth. 

• Stinky garbage disposal - Do not leave litter lying around the house. Dispose food waste properly.

• Cleaning stinky sponges - To remove odour from a sponge, just run them through the washing machine or under running tap water. Also soaking sponge in hot water with bleaching powder helps in getting rid of the smell. Kitchen sponges should be changed often. 

• Removing toilet odours - To eliminate toilet bowl odours, remember to clean it on a regular basis. Make sure to clean both inside and outside of the bowel. Keep air freshener inside the restroom.

Crime scene Clean up

A crime scene is a location where a crime takes place or any other place where crime evidence is found. Crime scene cleaning is a vital, yet an extremely sensitive job. These places are very sensitive and need to be dealt with a lot of caution.

Crime scenes may include a person’s body, any type of building, vehicles, places in the open air or objects found at various locations. Such cleanups usually involve the cleaning of blood and body fluids, cross contamination by police, paramedics & forensics.

Crime scenes cleanups are carried out by only professional cleaning services because the crime sites are secured by the police and other crime scene investigators. Often access is denied for any outsider in such secured areas, with the exception of family and other professional cleanup services. 

The people included in doing the cleanup wear appropriate equipment, including health and safety clothing, and so on. Hence an only professional service is advised. 

Handling biological materials is quite a tedious & risky task as there is a risk of contacting HIV or Hepatitis. It’s very important that you have someone qualified to do the job correctly and in the right way.

We at Bio-Cleanse Pty. Ltd. can clean and restore your property to perfection. We have specialist personnel for this job and we assure you 100% satisfaction.

Clean-Up of Accident sites

                                

When an injury or death occurs due to vehicle accidents, it is a hard time for the victim and others involved. Harmful material, blood, tissue, bodily fluids, urine, faeces, etc. in the vehicle and at the accident site is very common.

The transmission of contagious diseases is a serious threat when performing a clean-up. If not properly cleaned, the threat of contamination remains long after the evidence has been removed. 

Blood and other contaminants can hold diseases, bacteria, and other dangers. So under no condition should the cleanup be attempted by an individual that has not been professionally trained.

We at Bio Cleanse Pty. Ltd. have worked on all kinds of cases and even at the site of extensive accident scenes. We have all the necessary equipment, professional technicians and experience required to make any vehicle or traffic accident scene safe for the public or your family.

They are skilled at tracking down and remediating areas that have been contaminated - areas that the untrained eye would not see. They will clean and decontaminate the affected areas removing the danger of exposure. 

Most of the cleaning services will only cover up the decomposition odours that ultimately return in a few hours. However, our clean-up team have the skills, expertise and all the required equipment to permanently remove an odour from rooms, carpets, furniture, or any place the odour might have gotten into.

Meth Lab Cleaning

The word Meth originates from the word Methamphetamine. Methamphetamine is a synthetic drug with more rapid and lasting effects than Amphetamine, that is used as a recreational drug and, rarely, to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and obesity. It’s also used as a stimulant for the nervous system, as an appetite suppressant and also to counter depression.

The process of making Meth can lead to contaminating, not just the structure, but the A/C, carpet, heat system, plumbing well, furniture, upholstery, septic and yard.

The production of Methamphetamine or Meth as well as its ingredients can cause severe lung and eye damage, chemical burns, tissue irritation and even death. Childhood exposure to Meth lab chemicals can result in damage to the kidneys, liver or spleen, and incur violent behavior.

Meth Lab Cleaning includes a lot of stages; like On-site inspection of property, Review of property & recovery plan, Cleaning surfaces, Heating, Ventilation and Air conditioning (HVACs), thorough cleaning of property, checking Meth percentage before & after clean-up and so on.

There is a need to understand the level of danger of Meth in your surroundings and call a professional as soon as possible and give proper details. You have to discuss your Methamphetamine contamination risks and training requirements to ensure a better living.

Industrial Accident

                                 

An industrial accident is an event that is never listed or planned. Many factors add to the occurrence of accidents. Major losses and even bodily injury can result following each incident. These basic facts are understood well. In spite of this, accidents, property damages etc. continue to occur, work schedules are intervened, and injuries decrease personal income. 

Are industrial accidents predictable? Do they occur as a natural outcome of a daily routine? Can they be avoided? 

All industrial accidents are the outcome of human error and engage dangerous behavior or an unsafe condition, or a combination of both. Each industrial accident is an outcome of a breakdown in the safety system. Employee behavior/procedures and/or the condition of equipment/environment are always involved. The ability to examine and evaluate these elements on a continuous basis can identify work practices and conditions that have the ability to produce accidents. 

Our professionals at Bio-Cleanse are prepared to handle any industrial accident which involves blood, body fluids and biohazard cleanup at an industrial work site. 

Working with highly advanced apparatus and techniques, our Bio-Cleanse team of trained & licensed professionals will clean the scene in detail to ensure safe, thorough and complete disinfecting.

Overcoming Hoarding

Letting go of items you are attached to, can be hard, but it’s better to let go of some things before they turn into a problem. It’s true that it’s hard to get rid off items you’re attached too; but getting rid of your old stuff is the only way to overcome your hoarding problem. Here are a couple of ways that can help make things easier for you.

- You can start by making a list of all the things you haven’t used in the last couple of months. Then you can start a garage sale and sell all the items for a throwaway price and can even make a little money at the same time.

- Make swift judgment of your mails and newspapers, or they might end up getting collected in a tiny corner of your home. Get rid of them as soon as they are no longer needed.

- Shop wisely. Whenever you shop, make sure you ask yourself whether you really need that item. Or if you are really in need of buying it, make sure you get rid of an older item to make place for the new one.

- If all this is too much for you then you can go with a slower approach. Spend at least 15 minutes a day in cleaning up a room.
