The new Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2 & COVID-19) pandemic has the world panicking to protect themselves, their home, and their business from the deadly virus. Biohazard PRO is the preferred vendor for biohazard remediation, including coronavirus mitigation. Biohazard PRO offers 24/7 emergency services in the New England area.

COVID-19 is a disease caused by a coronavirus called SARS-CoV-2. Coronaviruses are a large family of RNA viruses that are common in people and many different species of animals, including camels, cattle, cats, and bats. Rarely can animal coronaviruses infect people and spread between people such as with MERS-CoV, SARS-CoV, and now with this novel virus. The SARS-CoV-2 virus is a betacoronavirus, like MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV. All three of these viruses have their origins in bats. The sequences from U.S. patients are similar to the one that China initially posted, suggesting a likely single, recent emergence of this virus from an animal reservoir.

• A risk assessment is completed prior to planning logistics of remediation.
• Establishing safety zones and staging of tools and equipment. Personal protective equipment (PPE) is donned. Depending on the facility, sometimes a negative pressure containment is built.
• Staging of negative air machines with two pre-filters and a large high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter to scrub the air of any existing airborne particulates and contaminants. Certain approved fogging/spraying procedures can occur in place of the air scrubbing process.
• In dustier dwellings, or ones with excess surface particulates that can harbor the virus; a special preliminary HEPA vacuum process will occur.
• All frequent contact surface areas should be carefully cleaned with detergent/cleaner and microfiber/paper cloth.
• Application of an EPA registered and CDC approved broad spectrum hospital-grade antimicrobial disinfecting solution the EPA's "List N" for disinfectants effective against SARS-CoV-2, and with an emerging viral pathogen claim.
• ATP Testing to ensure effectiveness the cleaning process had on environmental surface hygiene.
• Break down of safety zones and decontamination process of personnel, tools, equipment, and trucks are completed prior to leaving every job-site to prevent cross contamination between zones, personnel, dwellings, and communities.
• Waste generated should be legally disposed of in medical waste to be incinerated.

Pandemics are an extremely serious issue and we understand that the privacy, health, and safety for you, your family, employees, and property are at stake. Don't risk hiring companies making false or misleading claims, who are unqualified to perform biohazard remediation services.

General Duty Clause, 29 USC 654, section 5(a)(1) requires employers to protect their employees from recognized workplace hazards. 

“shall furnish to each of his employees employment and a place of employment which are free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to his employees.”

Furthermore, SARS-CoV-2 is not listed as an exception to record an occupational illness as displayed in 29 CFR 1904.5(b)(2). If an employee becomes ill with COVID-19 through other employees or through occupational exposure on a cleaning job, the illness is considered recordable on OSHA's log for that enterprise. If resulting in job restriction, sick days, and even death, this is also mandated to be recorded.

It is mandatory to contact OSHA to report fatalities or hospitalization if caused by Coronaviruses. In the instance of death, an OSHA inspection and investigation will follow suit and could result in a large fine if the company didn’t mitigate risks if they were aware about it and should have.

When searching for a company that specializes in possible coronavirus mitigation services, it's crucial that you select an OSHA compliant company such as Biohazard PRO.
