Dealing with hazardous waste is a difficult task that has to be done to a high standard to lower the risk to human health associated with it. If you need biohazard cleaning services, The Sparkle Gang is a trusted team of professional cleaners with a high level of training and specialist cleaning equipment required to properly remove waste, clean, and decontaminate the affected area.
Our specialist biohazard cleaners are fully equipped and trained to carry out:
A biohazard (biological hazard) is defined as "...a biological substance that poses a threat to the health of living organisms, primarily humans". Biohazards can include:
There is a range of people who need the help of specialist biohazard cleaners. Many industries require regular biohazard cleanings, such as care homes, medical laboratories, and hospitals.
For others, biohazard cleaning services may be needed after an unexpected incident. This could be a violent crime, drug-related criminal activity, a traumatic event, or an unattended death.
If there are biohazards in a home environment or other private area then it is important that the space is made safe again for its inhabitants as quickly as possible. Speed truly is of the essence when dealing with hazardous materials.
If there are biohazards in business premises, then great care needs to be taken to ensure that they are properly cleaned and the area made safe again. The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 mean that employers have a legal duty to ensure that the health and safety of their employees and any visitors to their premises are protected.
While it may be tempting to avoid bringing in professionals and to attempt the biohazard cleanup yourself, this can be a dangerous choice. The removal of hazardous waste and the cleaning and decontamination of the area where it has been is something that should be conducted by a specialist cleaning service that has the training and equipment to deal with potentially infectious materials.
One of the main goals when conducting biohazard cleaning is to reduce as much as possible the health risks for the person doing the cleaning. A biohazard cleaning company will carry out a thorough risk assessment before beginning work and will have a clear process of safety procedures to ensure that their team of technicians isn't at risk of harm.
Conducting biohazard cleaning without these procedures in place can leave you at risk of being harmed by the hazardous materials involved.
On a similar note, the team of technicians from a professional cleaning company will have access to high-quality PPE that can provide an extra level of protection when working with biohazards.
Complete decontamination of an area that has been affected by biohazard waste will usually require the use of chemicals and equipment that wouldn't normally be found in a home environment. A professional cleaning company will have access to all of the necessary tools they will need to ensure safe decontamination of the area.
There are strict rules and regulations regarding the disposal of hazardous materials. These are designed to make sure that there is no risk to anyone that may come into contact with the waste. Cleaning technicians will be well versed on how to safely remove and dispose of all types of biological hazards and clinical waste.
One of the biggest challenges when faced with biohazard cleaning is that, to the untrained eye, an environment may appear clean but it could still present dangerous risks to health. For example, many types of hazardous materials such as blood, urine, and vomit can easily seep into porous materials or even under floorboards and skirting boards. Just because they can't be seen once the surface has been cleaned, this doesn't mean that they can't still carry viruses, bacteria, or other pathogens.
