Biohazard Cleanup

Biohazards include any compound or chemical that poses a significant health risk. In the aftermath of a violent crime, accident, or unattended death, biological material, blood, and bodily fluids can transmit hazards and contaminate materials. The technicians at Accent American Inc are trained to discreetly and safely clean, disinfect, and dispose of biohazardous materials. We hold IICRC Triple Master Certification, which includes Trauma Scene Clean Up, and have over 35 years of individual hands on experience and training.

What Is Biohazard Cleanup and Decontamination?

Any substance that contains or can transmit a biological hazard poses a significant health risk. For this reason, you should never attempt to clean a biohazard on your own. biological hazards are thnings like viruses, bacteria, fungi and toxic materials.  Personal protective equipment may be necessary, the proper equipment must be used based on the situation, and persons wearing this equipment must be OSHA fit tested for it, and trained on how to properly put on and take off the equipment to prevent cross contamination.  OSHA – Occupational Health and Safety Administration https://www.osha.gov/personal-protective-equipment/standards

There are many factors to consider when dealing with biological hazards.

Preventing Cross-Contamination

Preventing  the spread of biohazards during the removal and disinfection process is an important step.  Cross contamination controls need to be in place every step of the way.

Removing the Biohazardous Materials

We will properly dispose of materials contaminated with biohazards including drywall, wood, and carpeting and furnishings if necessary.

Cleaning, Deodorizing, and Disinfecting

The next step is to clean, deodorize, and disinfect the area to prevent the spread of contaminants, and to remove any odor that may be present. Our core services are clenaing and disinfecting, and we use high powered truck mount hot water extraction equipment to help clean and sanitize, along with the proper cleaning solutions for the affected area.

Rebuild and Restoration

Next, if needed, we rebuild the affected area to its original condition.
