'Hoarders' host in Kalamazoo

KALAMAZOO, Mich. (NEWSCHANNEL 3)

"Hoarders" -- it's a popular television show, but experts say the act of hoarding is growing, especially in the Midwest.

The host of the show "Hoarders" is in Kalamazoo this week training people to deal with these situations. On the show we see stories of people with more than 2,000 rats living in their homes or every room filled to the ceiling with garbage. It can seem extreme, but many people are living with their own hoarding situations.

Matt Paxton is the host of the show. He travels the country teaching both cleaning professionals and mental health leaders about the disorder and how to help people. This week he's in Kalamazoo Michigan. He tells us hoarding is more prevalent in this area because people tend to live in their homes longer and inherit family homes. 15 million people in the U.S. are affected by hoarding, which is now a classified disorder with the American Psychiatric Association.

Paxton tells us hoarding usually begins after a traumatic life event.

A man referred to in a news release as "one of Akron's most dangerous individuals" by Police Chief James Nice was sentenced Wednesday to 39 months in federal prison.

Joe Fletcher III, 27, was indicted on state charges in February 2014 with having a weapon while under disability and menacing.

Then, at Nice's request, U.S. Attorney Steven Dettelbach's office took over the case and a federal grand jury issued an indictment accusing Fletcher of being a felon in possession of a firearm.

Fletcher, who has previous felony convictions for cocaine trafficking, weapons possession and tampering with evidence, pleaded guilty in November. U.S. District Judge Christopher Boyko in Cleveland handed down the sentence.

Nice also says in the news release that "our city is safer today because of this federal conviction."

Workplace Accident Biohazard Cleanup Lansing, MI

Bio Clean Services provides biohazard remediation and disposal from workplace and industrial accidents in Lansing, MI and surrounding cities.  When most people think of biohazard cleanup they think of chemical spills or other toxins that are environmentally related.  Biohazards in the workplace can come from all sorts of incidents especially when there is a presence of blood, tissue and bodily fluids that affect an accident area.

Cleaning biohazards in the workplace is an especially sensitive issue as most workplaces involve many people confined to a specific area and the chances of biohazard contamination are increased because of this. Anytime an industrial accident has a presence of blood or other potentially dangerous biohazards it becomes crucial to hire a professional biohazard cleanup company like Bio Clean Services. OSHA requires that strict protocol be followed when cleaning or disposing of biohazard in the workplace. Blood biohazard cleanup is one of the strictest protocols we must follow when a trauma occurs.

Many workplace accidents occur because of misuse of equipment or negligence of the victim in some form.  When these accidents occur, Bio Clean Services technicians are able to dispatch emergency cleanup technicians to discreetly remove and dispose of all traces of blood or other biohazards found at the accident scene.  Emergency personnel will frequently leave biohazard materials at a trauma scene, especially when the accidents are life threatening and immediate medical transport is necessary.

Business owners or managers are left with the responsibility of cleaning up the accident scene and protection of other employees or individuals who may come in contact with the biohazard area. When trauma or accident scenes contain blood the potential for bio contamination is significantly increased. Blood, in various forms, can become a huge potential in the compromising of someone’s health if they are exposed, ingest or have contact by other means.  The responsibility of the safety and protection of other employees, clients and individuals is the responsibility of the business owner and should not be taken lightly. 

Even if your company has established biohazard cleanup protocols, it is always best to employ a certified biohazard cleanup company to perform the cleaning. Not only will it eliminate your liability, it helps ensure that the job is done properly and that all areas affected by the trauma will be biohazard free and a safe environment for your staff and clients.  Contact our staff immediately if you experience an industrial accident.
