Leaky Pipes? Is consulting a plumber the ultimate solution?

Has your place ever been damaged with water? Perhaps water pipe leakage? Did you repair it all by yourself or did you consult a plumber? Have you ever consulted professionals to do the cleaning? If your answer is ‘No’, then you might have noticed mould growth over the walls. What possibly can be the reason for it? Yes, it is due to improper cleaning after water damage.

Here is a list of few damages that could happen in case you do not consult professionals.

• Leaky roofs damage ceilings to such an extent that the plaster could peel off and the paint could darken. The surrounding portion of walls could also be affected. Mould could grow over the surface making it shabby in appearance and dangerous to health.

• Electrical gadgets like ceiling fans and the lights could also suffer damage. There might be a high risk of electrical shocks or fire in such cases.

• Water leaks could also tamper with the flooring. Damage to the carpet will be caused for sure and so to the flooring. If your flooring is made of wood, then there are fair chances that it could rot.

• Water leaking from corroded or cracked pipes are sometimes left unattended. A bucket or some other vessel is placed under it as a temporary solution to this problem. Have you ever thought that this bucket or vessel could turn out to be breeding grounds for mosquitoes and various other micro-organisms? You and your family could possibly be at high risk to many insect and other organism-borne diseases.

The costs to repair all these damages could turn out to be a considerably large amount. Instead, when you notice anything in its nascent stage, consult us at Bio Cleanse. We can help with all kinds of water damage.

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

Common Causes of Workplace Accidents

Workplace accidents can have a negative impact on your business due to reduced productivity, loss in workforce and dampening of morale of other workers.

In the event of a workplace accident, the company has to pay compensation and recorded in the accident log for insurance purposes. It is every employer’s responsibility to take care of their employees, whereas it is also the prime responsibility of every employee to read the work safety regulation and work-related protocols.

Workplace accidents depend on a number of factors. Following are the common causes of workplace accidents.

Over-exertion
Over-exertion results due to excessive physical effort in the process of carrying, lifting, pulling and pushing goods. It also results due to excessive effort whilst operating a machine, when the worker falls short of his physical capacity. The most common injuries which results due to overexertion are sprains and strains.

Slips, Trips and Falls
The main causes of slips and trips are uneven floor surfaces, slippery floor coverings, wet floors, changes in floor levels, trailing cables and poor lighting. Falls happen when the worker is working at an elevation such as roofs, ladders and stairways. Slips, trips and falls are risky, as they can result in the worst kind of injury, such as head injuries, body injuries, fractures, paralysis or even death.

Falling Objects
Another common accident that happens at workplaces is free-falling objects, which result mostly in head injuries. Examples of falling objects that have a potential of injuring workers are roof scaffolding, tools, bricks, rocks, debris, ceiling panels, cluttered stacks on shelves, etc. The injury is severe, if the worker is not wearing head protection PPE, such as hard hats, etc.

Work Equipment and Machinery
Since the Industrial Revolution, machinery has become the norm at most work places. All of this machinery undergoes strict testing before it is given the badge of approval to use. Nevertheless, accidents still occur due to the fact that the machinery is not maintained, not properly guarded or not properly operated. Such accidents can even occur when there is inadequate training given to workers; he/she hasn’t read the safety regulations or has failed to wear the correct protective equipments.

On-Site Violent Acts
These injuries result due to arguments between workers or between workers and officials. In some cases, it can result in severe injuries or death of a worker.

Bio Cleanse does cleaning for all kinds of workplace accidents. Contact www.bio-cleanse.com.au for more information.

How to Clean a Small Blood Spill

We are prone to accidents in our daily routine.

Whether getting a minor cut on a finger while chopping onions or a wound on the leg when you fall down – such common day activities are likely to happen and DO involve blood. 

So, does one push the red button and call professional services to clean up the blood?

It wouldn’t make any sense.

Follow this thumb-rule, whenever there is a blood spill:

> If the blood spill is more than 8 ounces or more than the size of a dinner plate, you need to call a professional bio-hazard cleaning service at the soonest. For such assistance, contact Bio-Cleanse (www.bio-cleanse.com.au).

> If the blood spill is less than 8 ounces or less than the size of a dinner plate, you can clean it yourself by doing the following.

•  Before attempting the cleanup, it is advisable to wear proper PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), such as gloves, masks, etc. It shields you from all possible infectious blood-borne pathogens can cause. The risk of contracting an infection is also high even if the spill is a small one.

• Gently place paper towel(s) over the spill. You can also use a powdered absorbent, allowing it to sop up the blood and then placing paper towel(s) to sop up any traces of remaining liquid.

• Disinfect the area with a solution of water and 10% bleach. When applying bleach to the contaminated area, work from the outer area to the inner. Let it soak the area for nearly half an hour. 

•  If the spill involves any sharps or shards, do not attempt to lift it with your bare hands. Use a pair of tongs or pliers to lift the debris and transfer gingerly to a puncture-resistant bio-hazard bag with a proper seal. Dispose of it.

• Clean the spill area once more with absorbent pads and transfer the materials to another bio-hazard bag. Note that if the surface is concrete, you might need to use a scrub brush. If the surface is upholstery, contact your vendor for a thorough cleanup.

•  Wash the area with fresh water to ensure elimination of any residue.

•  Disinfect all tools used in the process, such as tongs, pliers, dust pans, etc.

• Dispose your used PPE.
