What Cherokee Property Owners Ask About Decontamination
What is biohazard remediation?
Biohazard remediation is the full process of containing, removing and treating biological contamination. Decontamination is the last stage, where surfaces are disinfected and checked. Many companies use the two terms for the same job.
Can landlords order decontamination between tenants?
Yes. Property managers often call when a unit shows signs of bodily fluids, sewage or neglect. The lease and local law decide who pays, and the crew can provide photos and records for the owner.
What are the biological hazards in a home?
Common ones include blood, vomit, feces, sewage, mold, pest droppings and dead animals. Illness spread by sick residents can also leave germs on surfaces. Some of these need professional biohazard specialists.
Do I need to be home during the work?
In many cases the person who calls does not need to be at the property. Ask how access and keys can be arranged. If you are out of town, say so when you call.
How do you decontaminate after COVID-19 or other illness?
Crews clean, then disinfect touch points, bedding, floors and shared surfaces with products suited to the germ. They wear PPE and bag soiled items safely. The same process applies to C. diff, norovirus and other infections.
Do OSHA rules apply to biohazard decontamination?
Workers who may contact blood or infectious material are covered by the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030. Professional crews follow its rules on PPE and handling. Employers have their own duties, and safety staff can explain them.
