Body Fluid Spill Cleanup

All bodily fluids are potentially contaminated with blood-born pathogens including bacteria, viruses and fungi. As such, a human body fluid spill can pose an occupational hazard if proper cleanup procedures are not followed.

So should you ever try to clean up a body fluid spill yourself? Unless the amount of blood is so minuscule you can clean it up in seconds with a sheet of a paper towel, we recommend you take no chances with your health or the health of others.

As per the Occupational Health and Safety Act, only authorized personnel like Brooks Remediation may perform spill cleanup procedures for spills containing human blood or other potentially infectious material. We ensure our experienced staff utilizes the appropriate personal protective equipment such as: gloves, proper eye-wear, faces shields, masks, and protective outer garments to keep from contamination. We also bring all necessary supplies to the scene, including: the appropriate disposal bags, a disinfectant, absorbent material, a sharps container, and device to remove contaminated sharps.

If you find yourself needing to clean up a blood spill, contact us for a fast response time. We are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week throughout the year. 

Contact us today and allow our empathetic and professional staff members alleviate the burden and responsibility involved in the cleanup and disinfection off of your shoulders, and on to ours. (888) 567-0545

What Makes Brooks Remediation Different?

Homicides, unattended deaths, blood spills, etc. are all tragic events that no one plans on experiencing in their lifetime. As such, dealing and coping with the aftermath of these happenings is incredibly difficult. Tacking on the thought of restoring your home or the vicinity to its natural state can be overwhelming. It is important that no one attempt to clean up a scene if they have not been professionally trained. Not only can this be traumatic for friends and family, but very dangerous as well.

Over 20 years ago, The Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) developed the Blood borne Pathogen Standard and The Needlestick Safety and Prevention Act to protect workers whose occupations expose them to dangerous, life threatening blood borne pathogens. Compliance with these standards are mandatory by federal law.

The following are the steps we take to remain in compliance and provide a healthy and safe work environment for our workers and the public:

• Exposure Control Plan
• Implementation and usage of UNIVERSAL precautions
• Usage of engineering controls
• Usage of work practice controls
• Appropriate personal protective equipment
• Hepatitis B Vaccinations for all employees
• Post exposure care and follow up
• Appropriate training and certifications for all employees
• Labels and signs for hazard communication
• Worker medical and training logs
