What makes bio hazard cleaning a good choice

In today’s world, most have an idea what a bio-hazard clean-up is and what is the procedure for a clean-up. But how many of us do follow the given instruction? How many of us play by the rules?

While most us know what bio-hazard clean-up is, most of us are still fully unaware of the danger and damage it may cause. Many times when dealing with bio-hazard cleaning, a lot of bio-hazard waste gets generated such as bio-solids, liquid waste, bodily fluids, etc. All of this has to be contained, transported and disposed of safely. If an ordinary person without protective gear had to do a bio-hazard clean-up, they might end up being exposed to various infectious pathogens and diseases like HIV, Hepatitis B or Hepatitis C.

It is always best advised to hire a reputed and certified cleaning company. These companies have the right tools and equipment to deal with bio-hazard situations like death, trauma, suicide or any violent crime. Bio Cleanse Pty Ltd. is such a company that is dedicated to clean and remediate your property to its pre-loss condition. They have the necessary permits, training, expertise and most important, the willingness to handle gross filthy things that would send most of us running out the door to throw up in the bushes.

Last year, March 2015, our team conducted a squalor clean-up (more like squatter cleaning). The home-owner just couldn’t manage with the filth and dirt around the house. 

The house was full of mice and since there was a dog living in the house, faeces were everywhere. 

We had to clean the house from scratch to allow the homeowner access services that would help him as it was impossible to use the home as it was.

Which Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) You Should Use and When

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is used in biohazard clean-up processes in order to prevent the contagion of any illness or the occurrence of injury.

Donning the right type of PPE is rudimentary as a large part of biohazard clean-up processes are done by humans, who are equally vulnerable in getting infected or injured during/after the process. Whether it is a clean-up professional or a layman who handles the biohazard situation before the professionals’ arrive, using the right type of PPE is a MUST.

PPE can range from hard hats to face mask to body suits to protective footwear. It is essential to know which PPE to use and when.

Head Protection

The preferred and trusted choice for head protection is a hard hat. It shields the human head from getting injured by any collapsing or falling objects. It also reduces electrical shock exposures or burns to the head. In biohazard clean-up, hard hats can be of tremendous help during fire damage restoration.

Face Protection

A face shield is used to protect the face from any debris, flying particles, dust, radiation, vapours, chemical splashes, flames and potentially infectious bodily fluids. The face shield is used in conjunction with goggles, which serves the same purpose for the eyes. Respiratory protection should also be used in order to prevent inhalation of harmful chemicals and substances.

Face protection is a must in most of biohazard clean-ups, especially, meth lab cleaning, fire damage restoration and mould clean-up.

Hand Protection

Gloves must be used to prevent infection from bodily fluids, harmful substances, chemical burns, electrical shocks, abrasions, cuts, gashes, punctures, fractures and amputations. Elbow-length gloves or finger guards must be used if the need arises. One must select the correct variety of gloves to be used, depending on the nature of the situation. The types of gloves available are synthetic gloves, leather gloves, mesh gloves, canvas gloves, aramid fibre gloves and aluminised gloves. It is important to note that once used, gloves must be disposed. Using second-hand gloves is as good as handling the biohazard with bare hands. Hand protection is of a primary importance in handling biohazard clean-up, involving blood and other bodily fluids.

Body Protection

Body suits or vests should be used to protect the body from exposure to blood, blood borne pathogens and accidents. These protective coveralls are also used in various clean-up processes, especially in Dry Ice Blasting.

Reporting During a Bio-Hazard Cleanup

A bio-hazard occurrence like murder, blood spill, accidents and water damage can uncover a host of infections, many of which remain undetectable by the naked eye. Even if the area appears virtually clean after evacuation of the bio-hazard materials, infections can seep deep into crevices and pores of surrounding materials. For example, in the event of a murder, the blood might be splattered in various areas and spills can get into absorbent wooden floor or walls or matting. Hence, it is necessary that a cent per cent clean up be carried out to eliminate all risks of potential diseases and infections. 

It is necessary to hire a professional cleaning service, as bio-hazardous waste can have a serious impact on other untrained professionals such as insurance agents or police personnel. When the lights of the ambulance and police cars depart, it is the cleaning professionals who take up the charge. And the cleaning is more than a matter of just mop up and trash. It involves thorough assessment of the area, application of proper and safe scientific procedures, following of fixed protocols and protection of the contaminated area from further infecting the surrounding inmates or neighbours. 

One important step in the bio-remediation process is thorough documentation or reporting. This documentation starts right from the planning stage to completion. Every step, every protocol used, every methodology and every assessment procedure should be properly reported by the professionals along with the respective on-site photographs. The documentation should also give a risk analysis of the exposure to disease and infections before and after the cleanup. In the end, the company should give a catalog of the particular in-situ bioremediation process.

The documentation process has manifold uses. Not only does it adhere to a systematic approach of a critical situation like a bio-hazard event, it also facilitates smooth settlements between the policy holder and the insurance company in the process of making any claims of loss. It will also make both the parties understand why some structural materials were removed or disposed or displaced or altered.
