When a workplace accident occurs, employers are required under federal law to treat the incident as an emergency. There are many dangers that should be rectified immediately. An employer must follow OSHA guidelines, which includes reporting, investigating, and correcting the problem. Regulation 29CFR1910.1030(g)(2) furthermore states that an employer must utilize a properly licensed and trained team to remediate bloodborne pathogens. Any risk is a public health hazard and liability. As an employer, hiring the right professional is the safest and best way to minimize risk and financial loss.
A biohazard is any hazardous biological material, such as those found at crime scenes, trauma scenes, sewage backups, and drug paraphernalia.
Improper treatment can spread contamination and lead to illness or life-threatening conditions.
First, if this is due to a crime or accident, you will need to call 911 and report the situation. Once the initial crime scene or accident has been addressed by the authorities and the ambulance or coroner has removed the body (if there was one), you can start to process what things need to be done to get back to normal. It can be very overwhelming. Give us a call and explain the situation, give us the address, who we will need to communicate with and your insurance information. We can help. We may be able to come right away, however in some cases where there is an investigation in process, we cannot begin cleanup until the scene has been released.
Most standard homeowner's insurance policies do include coverage for biohazard cleanups. However, there can be exceptions, and some policies may offer limited coverages.
