Biohazard Decontamination Frequently Asked Questions in Lansdowne, PA
Is it safe to stay in the house during decontamination?
Usually it is better not to. The affected area is sealed off, products are in use and the air is being managed. Ask the crew whether other parts of the house can stay in use.
What if the contamination came from a death or a crime?
The crew treats the space with care and keeps the details private. Law enforcement must release a crime scene before cleanup begins. If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988 any time.
What are the biological hazards in a home?
Common ones include blood, vomit, feces, sewage, mold, pest droppings and dead animals. Illness spread by sick residents can also leave germs on surfaces. Some of these need professional biohazard specialists.
Do OSHA rules apply to biohazard decontamination?
Workers who may contact blood or infectious material are covered by the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030. Professional crews follow its rules on PPE and handling. Employers have their own duties, and safety staff can explain them.
Do I need to be home during the work?
In many cases the person who calls does not need to be at the property. Ask how access and keys can be arranged. If you are out of town, say so when you call.
What is the difference between biohazard cleanup and decontamination?
Cleanup removes blood, bodily fluids and other material from a scene. Decontamination makes the cleaned surfaces and the space safe again through cleaning and disinfecting. Most jobs include both, and the crew can explain how it treats each.
