SERVPRO of Barrington/ North Schaumburg Can Properly Handle Any Disaster

Whenever a biohazard occurs in the Deer Park area, it is imperative that the cleanup is done by trained professionals like our experienced technicians at SERVPRO of Barrington/ North Schaumburg. A biohazard is when items or locations have been contaminated with hazardous waste, such as vomit, blood, feces, and other bodily fluids. Other forms of biohazard are animal waste, used needles, and anatomical waste. For the biohazardous articles to be disposed of appropriately, a person must be properly trained on how to handle the waste to ensure it is safely away from the general public. For example, individuals in the medical field are trained on how to place syringes and other items that can poke through skin in a sharps container. Also, all items that contain biohazard waste must be disposed of appropriately.

Our trained technicians not only know the protocols, but also are wearing protective equipment like personal protective clothing, gloves, and goggles. Anyone who tries to dispose of biohazardous materials without proper training or personal protective equipment (PPE) is risking numerous safety issues. One of these issues is legal as there are laws about how one must deal with such materials, including guidelines from OSHA. Certain diseases that a person has can be transmitted through biohazard waste. Therefore, it is imperative that biohazard cleanups are left to the professionals at SERVPRO of Barrington/ North Schaumburg.
