How to Choose a Biohazard Cleanup Service

When a tragedy or disaster occurs, knowing how to choose a biohazard cleanup service is incredibly important. Here at CRC, we want to share a few helpful tips so that if you ever need a biohazard cleanup, you’ll know what to look for to ensure you only work with true professionals.

Experience and Training

The most frequent reasons a biohazard cleanup is needed are death, trauma, or crime scene. It is important to have dangerous contaminants safely removed to get your property business, or scene of the trauma back to clean, safe condition. Before selecting a biohazard cleanup service, ask about:

• Bloodborne pathogen compliance and training
• OSHA training
• Medical waste transport and handling training
• Respiratory protection training and compliance
• Personal protection equipment compliance and training

Licensing

Certification and licensing requirements can vary from state to state for biohazard cleanups. Be sure to inquire about whether the biohazard cleanup service you are considering meets your area's legal requirements. The company you are considering should be able to show proof of any licensing.

When dealing with medical waste, the company in question should have a medical waste transporter license and have a contract with a licensed medical waste disposal company. It is important to note that there are no specific certifications for crime scene or death-related cleanups. This makes diligence on your part incredibly important.

Safety Standards

You want to choose a company that uses the correct equipment for the job to ensure that your business or property is safe from toxins. You also want a company that has high standards for their services. We here at CRC have years of experience and we will make sure that your biohazard is cleaned up properly.

Empathy

You want a service that is going to understand the severity of your situation and respect the emotional impact that the experience can have. The company you hire should be respectful of you and your situation. You should be treated with kindness, compassion and professionalism. A cleanup company shouldn’t add to the strain of your situation.
