Our Process for Hazardous Material Cleanup
Assessment
The first thing we do in any biohazard cleanup is assess the situation to understand how extensive and severe the contamination is. This involves identifying the type of biohazard, assessing the extent of contamination, and identifying any safety hazards that need to be addressed.
Plan Development
Once we've assessed the situation, we develop a cleanup plan that details how we'll address the biohazard. This plan includes identifying the necessary personal protective equipment (PPE), specifying the cleaning products and equipment required, and outlining the procedures for safely disposing of contaminated materials.
Area Containment
Before we start any cleanup work, it's crucial to properly contain the contaminated area to prevent the spread of hazardous materials. This includes setting up barriers, sealing off ventilation systems, and implementing other safety measures to ensure that the contaminated area is effectively isolated.
Clean and Disinfect Area
The contaminated area undergoes thorough cleaning and disinfection using specialized products and equipment. This process may include utilizing HEPA filters, negative air pressure machines, and other specialized equipment to ensure effective removal of all hazardous materials.
Disposition
All contaminated materials, including used cleaning products, personal protective equipment (PPE), and other hazardous waste, are disposed of in compliance with local, provincial, and federal regulations.
Inspect and Test
Once the cleanup is complete, a final inspection and testing is performed to ensure that all hazardous materials have been properly removed and the area is safe for occupancy.
