Equipped with the necessary safety apparatus and cleaning products, we can help transform these unhealthy environments back into clean & safe!

Exposure to biological and chemical contaminants can pose serious health consequences for building occupants, employees, customers, and owners. A failure to properly handle and safely remove such hazards can contribute to unhealthy and even dangerous environments.

Here are some quick Do’s and Don’ts if you ever  encounter a situation where you might be exposed to a biohazard or trauma situation:

Do:

• Stay out of affected areas, you do not want to track any fluids by stepping in it.
• Call emergency service personnel if the situation is life-threatening.
• Treat all bodily fluids as if they are contaminated.

Don’t:

• Attempt to do any clean up yourself.
• Touch or handle items that might be contaminated with bodily fluids.
