Professional Bio-Hazard Cleanup

No one should have to deal with the physical aftermath of a crime, suicide, or violent accident. That’s why we’re here. Encompass Environmental helps take away some of the burden resulting from a violent incident while offering compassion and empathy.

Our bio-hazard cleaning addresses:

• Blood and blood products: items affected by blood, or containing blood.
• Body fluids: saliva, amniotic fluid, semen, cerebrospinal fluid, etc.
• Animal waste: body parts, carcasses, or items used by an animal that is infected with disease.
• Pathological waste: biopsy materials from medical procedures.
• Microbiological waste: laboratory waste.
• Needles (sharps waste): needles and associated medical tools.

The Importance of Bio-Hazard Cleanup

Bio-hazard cleanup should always be performed by professionals. Any attempts to clean up bio-hazard materials or pathogens on your own greatly endanger your health and that of others. After an accident or tragic event, blood or bodily fluids present the risk of exposure to bloodborne pathogens (BBP) and bacteria. These health hazards include viruses such as Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, HIV, and bacteria such as MSRA (an antibiotic-resistant strain of staph.)

Encompass Environmental understands that any rudimentary type of cleaning, such as spot-cleaning bloodstains, is not enough. Improper treatment of bio-hazards can lead to further contamination, future outbreaks, and jeopardize the structural integrity of a property. For example, DIY cleaning can miss areas where blood or bodily fluids have pooled beneath a carpet or surface. Left untouched, foul odors and further bacterial growth can result.

Bio-hazard cleaning is the opposite of standard cleaning. Standard cleaning simply removes physical evidence, such as stains, while bio-hazard cleaning goes far beyond that. We fully remove, clean, and disinfect areas affected by blood and bodily fluids. We also safely dispose of materials contaminated by bio-hazards.

Bio-hazard Levels

Bio-hazards are categorized into 4 levels:

• Bio-hazard Safety Level 1 (BSL 1)
• Bio-hazard Safety Level 2 (BSL 2)
• Bio-hazard Safety Level 3 (BSL 3)
• Bio-hazard Safety Level 4 (BSL 4)

Each level has specific control procedures for containment. Microbe origins, route of exposure, severity of disease, transmissibility, infectivity, etc. determine each level.

No matter the level, Encompass Environmental always follows strict protocols for cleaning and disposal of bio-hazards and affected materials.
