Did You Know?
You will often be left to deal with the aftermath of a trauma scene on your own.
The Police, Fire Department, EMTs or the Medical Examiners Office DO NOT clean up a crime or trauma scene when they have finished. They have neither the time nor the expertise and most are even forbidden to even refer you to a specialist in Trauma Scene Clean-up.
There are few truly qualified companies that can assist you in handling these complex situations.
There are serious, often life-threatening risks, such as HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis involved if you attempt a cleanup on your own.
There are strict governmental restrictions involving the cleanup and disposal of biohazardous waste from a crime or trauma scene. OSHA forbids the clean-up of these disasters by untrained personnel.

Q: Can I have an employee of my business clean the scene?A: This is usually one of the first questions we are asked. Unfortunately it is very difficult to give an accurate estimate over the phone. We need to come out for a FREE onsite analysis. Every incident scene differs, so until we know what is involved, we don't know the costs. Estimates are affected by the number of technicians needed, to their time needed to complete the cleanup, to the amount of bio-medical waste. We will beat any companies written estimate. Save money, call Biohazard Response, Inc, now at 407-277-0006.
Q: Can't I just let my regular cleaning or janitorial service clean up biohazardous waste?A: OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogen Standards; 29CFR1910.1030, states that employees must be provided with information and training prior to dealing with blood or other potentially infectious material (OPIM), including:
The Bloodborne Pathogen Standard
Epidemiology, symptoms and transmission of bloodborne diseases
Your facility's exposure control plan (most business are required to have one)
PPE (personal protective equipment) provided at no cost by the business
Information on the Hepatitis B vaccine and information on how to receive it (provided at no cost by the business)
Provide a method to safely remove and/or store biohazardous waste
Only if your business complies with these actions and 29CFR1910.1030, can you allow an employee to cleanup a trauma scene.
Q: What questions should be asked to help in selecting a Bio-Recovery Company?A: Only if you know that they comply with OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogen Standard, 29CFR1910.1030 (see above). You are ultimately responsible for whom you choose to clean up a biohazardous situation.
A: Ask for proof of the following:
Length of experience
Occupational License
Proof of Insurance (Liability, Auto and Workers-Comp)
Can they provide references?
Can they provide a contract for biomedical waste disposal and documents proving destruction of generated waste?
Will they work with the property owner's insurance and can they handle all the insurance paperwork?
Can they assist with or provide crisis counselors
And most importantly, are they members of ABRA, the American Bio-Recovery Association. Membership requires proof of most of the above.
