Blood and bodily fluid cleanup
Whether it's a serious injury at home or an incident at a business, bodily fluids need proper cleanup to protect everyone who uses the space.
Where these calls come from
- Homes after an injury, illness or fall
- Businesses: restrooms, retail floors, entryways and parking areas
- Rental units and common areas after an incident
- Sewage or feces contamination (for example, in a crawlspace or vacant unit)
Why proper cleanup matters
Blood and other potentially infectious materials can carry bloodborne pathogens such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV. Cal/OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens Standard sets rules for how employers protect workers who may be exposed. For many businesses, the simplest compliant approach is to have trained technicians handle anything beyond minor incidents.
Professional cleanup includes:
- Containing the area and wearing appropriate protective equipment
- Removing contaminated porous items as regulated waste
- Cleaning, then disinfecting with a hospital-grade disinfectant for the required contact time
- Verifying the area is clean and odor-free
For businesses
Ask whether the provider offers on-call service agreements and documentation you can keep for your safety program.
