The healthcare industry can only function effectively when patients and providers are safe and unexposed to any harmful substances that have the potential to harm or spread disease. However, by its very nature, healthcare produces large amounts of biohazard waste. According to the World Health Organization, 15 percent of waste produced in the healthcare industry is hazardous. As a result, it is exceptionally important in this industry to be prepared to contain biohazard contaminants, limit exposure, and clean or dispose of them properly, quickly, and safely.
Of all the biohazard waste produced in healthcare, most falls into one of the following four categories:
When a biohazard threat poses a risk to a facility, patients, and staff, professional cleanup is needed. OSHA (Occupational Health & Safety Administration) requires that all healthcare settings meet strict cleaning standards. Failure to meet these standards can result in fines, closure, and even litigation. Professional biohazard cleaning companies like Guarantee Restoration possess the expertise, certifications, and technology needed to ensure biohazards are fully contained and the impacted area cleaned and disinfected to the very highest standards. Among the biohazard situations our team can address are bodily fluids and blood, virus decontamination (COVID-19), and sewage sanitation.
