Harborview Workplace Biohazard Questions, Answered
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.
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.
Who is responsible for cleanup in a leased space?
Lease and local law decide who pays. A property manager, an attorney or a business advisor can say. A cleanup team can explain the work and the price range either way, and you can share that with the other party.
Can a property manager get cleanup scheduled between tenants?
Yes. Many calls come from managers who need a vacated unit made safe for the next tenant. The lease and local law decide who pays, and the crew can provide photos and records for the owner.
What is a biological hazard in the workplace?
A biological hazard is any material from a living thing that can cause illness. In a workplace that can mean blood, bodily fluids, sewage, mold, animal waste or sharps. Safety staff or an attorney can explain an employer's duties.
Does commercial insurance cover biohazard cleanup?
Sometimes. A commercial property policy, a business owner's policy or the building owner's policy may help, and some exclude certain events. Call the insurer before cleanup starts, take photos and keep every receipt.
