Commercial Biohazard Cleaning FAQs for Downtown and Multnomah County
Can staff clean up a spill themselves?
Only in simple cases, and only if the employer has the training, gear and procedures for it. Blood, vomit and sewage should be handled with PPE and disinfectants made for the job. When in doubt, close off the area and call a cleanup team.
Can the cleanup be done discreetly?
Often yes. Many teams can arrive in an unmarked vehicle and work after hours or out of sight. Ask about this when you call, and say who at the site should know. A good team keeps photos and notes private unless you ask it to share them.
What are some common biological hazards in the workplace?
Common ones include blood after an injury, vomit or feces from a medical event, sewage from a backup, needles, pest droppings and dead animals. Some also come from infectious illness. These call for protective gear and proper disinfection.
Can the work be done after hours?
Yes, in many cases. Night and weekend work lets a business keep its normal hours. Ask about scheduling when you call, since the plan depends on the size of the job and who needs access.
What areas do commercial biohazard cleaning services cover?
Offices, restaurants, stores, warehouses, apartment communities, hotels, plants and job sites. Restrooms, break rooms, kitchens, loading areas and parking lots are common problem spots. Crews adjust the plan to the building.
How do I prepare my business before the crew arrives?
Close off the affected area and keep staff and customers out. Do not wipe, vacuum or scrub anything. Take photos from a safe distance for your insurer and ask a manager to meet the crew.
