Biohazard Cleaning

Biohazard cleaning involves the cleaning, sanitizing/sterilizing and deodorizing of a site where a violent crime, suicide or traumatic accident has occurred.

Because of the potential emotional and physical risks involved, biohazard cleaning can take its toll on many workers. While there are no certifications required, the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) does require any employee at risk of being exposed to bloodborne pathogens to complete training in bloodborne pathogens personal protective equipment (PPE).
