Biohazard Cleanup FAQs for South Burlingame and Multnomah County
Do I need to be home during the cleanup?
In many cases no. Owners, family members and property managers can set up access with the crew, and the team can work while you are away. Say so when you call if staying elsewhere is easier.
What should I do before the crew arrives?
Keep people and pets away from the area, and do not touch or wipe anything. Open an exterior window only if it is safe, and photograph what you can for insurance from a distance. Call 911 first if anyone is in danger.
What is biohazard cleanup?
Biohazard cleanup is the safe removal of contaminated material and the disinfection of the affected area. Crews wear PPE, remove what cannot be cleaned and haul waste by the rules. The goal is a space that no longer poses a health risk.
How do I choose among biohazard cleanup companies?
Ask what training the crew has, how it deals with waste, whether it works with insurers and whether it can provide references. A good company explains the process in plain words. Then decide if the company is the right fit.
Is dried blood still a biohazard?
Yes. Dried blood can still carry bloodborne pathogens, and scraping or sweeping it can put particles in the air. Leave it alone, keep people away and have a cleanup team treat it with protective gear.
What are the OSHA guidelines for biohazard cleanup?
The OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030, protects workers who may contact blood or other infectious material. Professional crews follow its rules on PPE, handling and waste. Employers have their own duties, and safety staff can explain them.
