Cleaning and applying hospital-grade disinfectants of frequently touched items and surfaces are the recommended actions to help prevent the spread of respiratory diseases, like coronavirus. Since any surface can be re-contaminated after cleaning, and because the coronavirus is also spread person-to-person, PuroClean’s cleaning services are not guaranteed to prevent the spread of coronavirus. Visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html) for more information regarding coronavirus, its spread, and prevention.

High Standards
PuroClean uses Environmental Protection Agency-registered, safe products to provide protection that prevents contamination and minimize the risk of spreading pathogens.
The Blood or Other Potentially Infectious Materials (BOPIM) Standard
In 1991, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issued a standard to protect workers from the dangers of blood or other possibly infectious materials (BOPIM). Infectious pathogens include the Hepatitis B virus, HIV, the 2019 Novel coronavirus (COVID-19), and many others.
The BOPIM standard helps protect about 5.6 million employees in the healthcare field and similar occupations, including biohazard remediation businesses. Biohazard restoration falls within the bounds of the BOPIM standard.
The BOPIM standard also has several requirements, as follows:
- Proper handling, transport, and disposal of hazardous medical waste materials
- Using appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
- Using work practice controls
- Conduct a Health and Safety Assessment (OSHA requirement)
- Record keeping
- Mandatory training
- Specific required vaccinations
Common Biohazard Situations
- Coronavirus contamination
- Chemical hazards
- Animal waste or remains
- Hoarding scenes
- Blood and bodily fluid
- Suicide or death
- Crime or homicide scenes
PuroClean specialists face significant dangers every time they handle potentially hazardous items. For this reason, the implementation of proper training and safety precautions is critically important. The training and safety methods are important for both the technicians employed on the project and the individuals who will be occupying the space once the biohazard remediation is complete.
Our Biohazard Cleaning Services:
- Blood and Bodily Fluid Remediation
- Virus Decontamination and Protection
- Sewage Cleanup and Sanitation
- Deodorization and Odor Control
- Crime Scene Cleanup
- Hoarding Cleanup
Keep in mind that state employees aren’t required to clean crime locations. When Police and investigators have completed gathering their evidence, the burden falls to the property owner to arrange biohazard cleaning services. Only after the authorities have collected pertinent evidence and have released the scene, will biohazard cleanup technicians start their work.
Biohazard Cleanup Provided with Empathy
The massive sense of loss felt from property damage is not lost on PuroClean specialists. Our remediation specialists and owners make all possible efforts to be extremely empathetic to those who have suffered property damage and maybe emotionally vulnerable. This particular type of cleanup calls for additional care and sympathy. Our technicians genuinely empathize with the individuals that are unfortunately suffering from this unthinkable situation.
PuroClean Biohazard Cleanup Process
- Upon arrival, the remediation specialists will inspect and find all affected locations, conduct a health and safety assessment, and decide as to the scope of the biohazard project. When the technicians have a plan put together, remediation begins right away.
- Technicians will first take measures to ensure their safety and the safety of others near the affected areas.
- Technicians then remove and dispose of all potentially infectious items from the site.
- OSHA regulations will describe how hazardous medical waste is handled. For example, spinal fluid, peritoneal fluid, amniotic fluid, and other bodily fluids are carefully removed and taken to a certified hazardous medical waste incinerator.
- Per industry guidelines and state laws, technicians have to dispose of porous materials like fabric and carpeting that we can’t properly clean.
- We will use Hospital-grade disinfectants on non-porous items that we can save. If the items end up being non-restorable, our specialists will remove and discard such items.
- Following the cleaning process, technicians will deodorize the affected locations and assure they are returned to pre-contamination cleanliness and appearance. One method that proves areas are fully cleansed and ready for people is to have a licensed industrial Hygienist conduct clearance testing.
- Odors are normally controlled by getting rid of uncleanable contaminated items and cleaning with hospital-grade cleaning products. However, difficult situations may require further methods of deodorization to achieve success.
