DID YOU KNOW

Federal Regulation 29CFR1910.1030 states that no employee can be placed in a position to be exposed to blood spills without first:

• Receiving bloodborne pathogen (BBP) training.
• Having a written BBP exposure control plan.
• Having been provided personal protective equipment.
• Having been offered Hepatitis B vaccine and exposure evaluation and follow-up.
• Being provided with a method to remove and properly store the bio-hazardous waste in properly marked containers for disposal at an approved site.

Only after these five steps have been talken can an employee be required by his or her employer to clean a bio-hazardous/crime scene.

• The key to mold control is moisture control.
• If mold is a problem in your home, you should clean up the mold promptly and fix the water problem.
• It is important to dry water-damaged areas and items within 24-48 hours to prevent mold growth.

There are over thirty different species of spores that have been implicated as indoor allergens. Mold is known to cause structural damage in buildings and health problems. Mold travels quickly through airborne spores. As the mold grows, it digests the surface it is attached to. This causes the surface to breakdown.

B-D Trauma Scene Clean has the ability to collect and analyze samples in the field and generate a preliminary report within 1-3 days. This will allow our clients to develop a course of action in a short period of time. Samples are reviewed by a Microbiologist on staff, and sent to an accredited AIHA lab for analysis.
