Frequently Asked Questions

 
Q: Can't I just use my regular cleaning or janitorial service to clean up blood or pathological waste?

A: Not unless your regular cleaning or janitorial service has been properly trained and equipped to handle bio-hazardous waste such as blood or body fluids, and has a legally accepted mechanism in place to dispose of the recovered bio-hazardous waste.

 
 
Q: Who pays for bio-recovery services?

A: Ultimately the property owner is responsible for the cost of this service. In most cases, however, home, business or auto insurance will pay for bio-recovery services. If the Victims of a crime have no insurance the Crime Victims Board may be in a position to authorize and pay for bio-recovery services.

 
 
Q: Can I have an employee of my business clean the scene?

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

  1. Receiving blood borne pathogen (BBP) training.
  2. Having a written BBP exposure control plan.
