Q: How do you recognize a competent bio-recovery company? A: As in any profession, quality varies.
A competent bio-recovery service will operate vehicles that are designed for the
job. Its technicians will be professional in attitude and appearance. These
technicians will be sensitive to the nature of each scene and the people around
them. They will work closely with the property managers to reduce the emotional
stress related to the scene, discourage publicity and be helpful in assuming as
much of the role of dealing with the insurance company as possible. A competent
company will be knowledgeable of disease, pathogens, sanitizers, disinfectants,
sterilants, deodorants, techniques, devices, and regulations to help them to
successfully deal with each unique situation. Using special equipment,
chemicals, and protective suits, these specialists isolate, clean, disinfect
each surface, and decontaminate properly. Upon completion, the collected waste
is properly contained, labeled and transported for appropriate disposal at a
medical waste-handling facility. A: Are they members of ABRA? (American
Bio-Recovery Association) A: Federal Regulation 29CFR1910:1030
states that no employee can be placed in a position to be exposed to blood
spills without first: A: It is not mandatory in all states,
but it is recommended. By using a professional crime scene clean-up company such
as Crime and Death Scene Cleaning, the likelihood of adding further trauma to
the victim or family with the task of cleaning up the aftermath is eliminated.
Infectious pathogens and odor causing bacteria are removed following the strict
guidance provided by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and OSHA. A: Most mop and bucket cleaning services personnel are not trained or equipped to handle biohazardous wastes such as blood or bodily fluids. Also, the possibility that other hazardous materials may be encountered during the clean-up process is possible. Removal of biohazardous waste is dangerous. Without being able to determine which spill is infected with disease, extraordinary precautions must be taken. If a company is not properly equipped with special training, precautions, equipment and protective suits, an individual or employee could pick up a contaminant of disease or chemical hazards, and unknowingly spread it to his or her family. |
