One of 5 college women are raped during their college years according to the Center for Disease Control’s 2012 statistics.  Most survivors of sexual assaults are full time students.  Approximately 1/3 of the survivors are 1^st year students between the ages of 17-19.  Left behind are invisible organisms for which a biohazard clean-up is required. Colleges across the state are often faced with contracting a biohazard company like  Bio Clean Services to remediate these scenes. We employ technicians who are experienced in all aspects of biohazard clean-up professionally and discretely.

An equally serious scenario under which biohazard teams are imperative is the cleanup of microbes left behind after an unruly campus party.  The inappropriate, unintentional discharge of a biohazard, such as urine, fecal matter or other bodily fluid,  are significant health concerns. These scenes pose an immediate health risk to anyone who may come in contact.  Bodily fluid cleanup must be immediately addressed, to ensure the health and safety of all students. The liability of  universities must be  diminished. We are familiar with state and local regulations and OSHA guidelines and provide certified remediation services to ensure proper cleanup protocol.

We are promoting a more common awareness that crime, trauma and death scenes contain the potential for diseases and infections that can have life threatening consequences to home or property owners as well as any individuals who may come in contact with improper disposal of these types of materials and infected blood. Because of the grief stricken state of family members and friends during tragic loses or property owners who may not be aware of health risks and legal repercussions of their employees, it’s imperative that you become educated on the consequences of not hiring a professional company like Bio Clean Services to manage clean up and removal of biohazards.  Hepatitis C (HVC), a virus that has no treatment, can be very common in the presence of blood. Other diseases such as Hepatitis A and B, and HIV are also health concerns that need to be considered if an untrained person attempts to clean a bio scene. Proper disinfecting methods are crucial in theses types of scenes.

There are laws that help that will help safeguard you in the event you are faced with they type of scene. Individuals that disregard proper practices are putting the safety of themselves and others at risk. Unsanitary blood and body fluids pose a tremendous health threat to anyone that comes in contact.  Dried blood and body fluids have very small particles that can become airborne and if you come in contact, can make way into your body causing infections.  Most individuals or companies do not have the proper means to dispose of this waste and are no familiar with the regulations that govern its proper disposal.  Individuals not adhering to these regulations are like to incur heavy fines and have a major legal liability to anyone who is affected by their improper practices
