National Guidelines And Legislations
A trauma cleaning service commenced by Derbyshire Biohazard Services is operated under the strictest guidelines and legislation surrounding the cleaning process. Due to the nature of this specific service, the guidelines will have been heavily magnified due to the potential hazard of bodily fluids present and an even more significant risk to human health via cross-contamination.
NHS Approved Chemicals And Cleaning Processes
The vital part of a trauma cleaning service is too deep clean and disinfect the highly contaminated areas, belongings and possible upholstery. Biohazard cleaning technicians need a keen eye for details, primarily when the trauma incident occurs indoors. From the grout in the ceiling to minor cracks in the wooden floorboards under the carpet, every single material within the contaminated areas needs to be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. This ensures that no particles are left within the tiny cracks of the site that would eventually release a sour odour throughout the inside space.
If a professional company does not profoundly clean an area after a trauma or crime scene incident, the blood-borne pathogens that would still be lingering pose a substantial risk to human health. Unfortunately, many cleaning companies do not have the experience or equipment to complete a complete deep clean, resulting in the premise still being a biohazard without the occupant knowing. The correct decontamination, removal and disposal procedures must be adhered to avoid any further contamination within the trauma scene itself.
