What are Bloodborne Pathogens?
In cases of a death or an accident where blood or other bodily fluids occur, there is a danger of being exposed to bloodborne pathogens like Hepatitis B or C, HIV, MRSA.
According to OSHA, Bloodborne Pathogens are pathogenic microorganisms present in human blood and can cause disease in humans. The genuine concern about several of these pathogens is how long they can survive without a host and still infect someone else. This is why professional biohazard cleanup Sacramento technicians need to be used for proper cleanup. For HIV, it's not very long, 24-48 hours. However, viruses like Hepatitis strains can remain infectious for upwards of a week. It is a questionable and ill-advised expectation to keep a scene secure for an extended period.
One should always keep in mind, bloodborne pathogens have been known to remain infectious well past their predicted lifespan outside of a human host when in warm, moist, hospitable conditions.
There are no shortcuts to biohazard cleanup services, and legal liabilities can be significant if residual biohazard has caused injury to someone else. Residual biohazards are organic and considered a food source for mold and other bacteria. If left in place, mold or bacteria can increase and become airborne, potentially affecting the health of a home's occupants or workplace employees.
How We Tackle Biohazard Cleanup
Biohazard remediation is more about what you can't see than simply cleaning visibly affected areas. Our accredited technicians deploy cutting-edge technology to trace and handle biohazards through various materials that get to the hidden pools or hard-to-reach areas.
Steri-Clean's biohazard cleanup Sacramento protocols follow OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, using universal precautions, donning proper personal protective equipment, and applying only EPA-registered, hospital-grade disinfectants.
Additional risks increase from inefficient cleaning protocols. The remaining bodily fluids can become a breeding ground for mold and bacteria growth, which can harm those living and working on the whole property. Biohazard cleanup demands adherence to a thorough checklist intended to identify, isolate, and remove biohazardous materials from any area touched by trauma.

How To Manage Biohazards
Unfortunately, extraordinary events can blindside you emotionally and financially. That’s why Steri-Clean Sacramento works with major insurance carriers, who may cover our services in part or in full. In some cases, you may not have to pay any out-of-pocket costs for biohazard clean-up.
We strongly advise that you do not handle any hazardous materials if you don’t have the proper training or equipment. However, if for some reason, you do need to handle a biohazard material or have touched it by accident, be sure to take note of the following safety tips:
-
Always wear gloves and other protective gear where possible
-
Keep sharps (needles, syringes, etc.) in leak-proof, hard, sealable containers
-
If you come into contact with the substance, wash your hands thoroughly with disinfectant soap and warm water
-
When you are finished handling the biohazard material, dispose of your safety equipment by placing it in a plastic bag and sealing it
Let Steri-Clean Sacramento be the first step toward your healing process.
We recognize that this isn’t just a scene to be cleaned -- it’s your life.

The California Law Regulating Trauma Scene Clean Up
In 1998, the California Congress passed the Trauma Scene Waste Act. This law states that only companies licensed by the State of California can legally clean trauma scenes. The law further states that regular cleaning companies, including janitors, maintenance workers, or employees cannot clean such scenes. In summary, this law defines how the scenes are to be cleaned as well as how trauma scene waste is handled and disposed of.
