Homicide Cleanup - Suicide Cleanup - Unattended Death Cleanup and Decomposition

As a subset of hazmat cleanup, biohazard cleanup exists to remove risk from diseases contracted by contact with blood and blood related substances. So in an sense, a biohazard cleanup might exist as something as simple as a bloody nose cleanup, or a triple homicide and suicide cleanup.

So biohazard cleanup entails blood cleanup and removal of other potentially infectious materials (OPIM) as used on this web site. For purposes of homicide cleanup, suicide cleanup, unattended death cleanup with decomposition, and trauma cleanup, biohazards relate to bloodborne pathogens. Bloodborne pathogens exist as "germs" and are known to cause Human Immnodeficiency (HIV) and Hepatitis C, two of our more deadly bloodborne pathogens. Many others exist, too, but for now these two have the spotlight because their cures do not exist. Hepatitis C would be known as the more deadly of these two bloodborne pathogens.

As a consequence of bloodborne pathogens, we now use biohazard cleanup to mean those activities related to blood and OPIM's safe and thorough removal from human surroundings.

Bloodborne pathogens arose as a serious threat to medical workers because of neddle stick and blood splash. As a result the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issued regulations to protect emploees from bloodborne pathogens. Known as OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, they enforce universal precautions in our work places. Workers now have government protection when it comes to blood related work.

Without proper training and education workers remain at risk. So on this and other pages, we present material meant to help educate readers about the risks of bloodborne pathogens in the workplace and elsewhere.

While reading we don't want to lose sight of our original theme, biohazard cleanup.
