What Is Blood Cleanup?

Structural elements, flooring, furniture, clothing, and any other contaminated item at a trauma scene are health risks to anyone who comes in contact with them. Steri-Clean relies on decades of experience to identify every potential threat from bloodborne bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens.

Steri-Clean's Blood Cleanup Process

Steri-Clean's blood and crime scene cleanup services adhere to regulations and recommendations from organizations like the EPA and OSHA. Each location also complies with federal, state, and local regulations for the remediation and disposal of blood and other biohazards. The regulations and guidelines ensure the safe cleaning and disinfecting of areas and items exposed to blood.

Cleaning up blood after a traumatic event is a detailed and dangerous endeavor requiring specialized knowledge, equipment, and products. A Steri-Clean biohazard cleaning team begins the blood cleanup process with a focus on safety. Each technician follows industry standards for personal protective equipment (PPE), suiting up with a biohazard suit, protective mask, face shield, gloves, and other safety gear as needed. The team then follows a proven strategy for bloodborne pathogen cleanup to safely restore a property and eliminate the spread of pathogens.

• Trauma Scene Assessment: The first step is an OSHA-mandated employee-safety hazard assessment of the scene by a trained professional. The assessment step helps a cleaning team take the safest and most comprehensive action to isolate and remove the dangers.
• Scene Control: When not contained using professional tools and methods, bloodborne pathogens can spread quickly. Steri-Clean follows OSHA’s recommended cross-contamination protocols to isolate and secure a biohazard scene to prevent pathogens from infecting other areas.
• Contaminated Material Removal: Professional biohazard cleanup specialists rely on experience and training to track down all possible items and areas at risk of contamination. Removing contaminated items can be a long process and may include the removal of flooring, furniture, and decor. It's critical to take a step-by-step approach to safely identify and remove infected material and ensure it's isolated.
• Cleaning, Disinfecting, and Deodorizing: Once the scene is contained and the biohazard threats minimized, the team tackles blood spill cleanup for every potentially contaminated area. Biohazard technicians deliver complete remediation following industry standards and using EPA-approved products and specialized equipment.
• Decontamination Verification: When blood cleanup and disinfecting are complete, a technician uses adenosine triphosphate (ATP) testing to ensure the area is safe and contaminant-free. After the scene passes the ATP test, it can be released and is safe for occupancy.
