What is a Biohazard?
11/8/2023 (Permalink)
Exposure to biological and chemical residue and contaminates can pose serious health consequences for individuals who come into contact with them – from building occupants, employees, and customers. Failing to properly handle and remove such hazardous materials can lead to unhealthy and even dangerous environments.
Your local SERVPRO® Franchise Technicians have been trained to safely and effectively remove biohazardous materials and properly prepared waste in compliance with OSHA, EPA as well as State and Local health regulations.
Biohazard Clean-Up includes, but is not limited to:
- Bloodborne Pathogens
SERVPRO® Franchise Professionals remove and dispose of bodily fluids, tissue and other potentially pathogenic substances resulting from accident, trauma, crime or death.
- Methamphetamine Labs
Many of the chemicals used in the production of illegal drugs, such as methamphetamine, are volatile and can leave harmful residues.
- Crime Scene Residues
From fingerprint powder and evidence-gathering chemicals to teargas and pepper spray residues, your SERVPRO® Professionals can clean and restore your property and contents.
- Arson and Vandalism
Your local Franchise Professionals can provide general cleaning and deodorization services for situations resulting from vandalism including graffiti, egg, destruction of property, spoiled foods and human or animal waste.
- Sewage Backup
Sewage Backups and black water intrusions are not only nasty, they can also introduce harmful microorganisms into the surfaces and even below surface.
- Mold Mitigation and Remediation
