Blood Spill Cleanup
Cleaning up blood due to an accident, death or criminal act is a specialised field and Complete Maintenance Services have the knowledge, training and experience to deal with the blood spill cleanup quickly and effectively.
When blood spills are not contained in a small area and spread on walls, floors or soaked into furniture, there are special methods for removing blood from porous materials or determining if an item is salvageable. Specialist knowledge may be required for removal & cleaning of blood from those hard to reach areas which is where Complete Maintenance Services can help.
Potential Hazards from a Blood Spill
When a significant amount of blood is lost, in a major household accident, industrial accident, criminal act or traumatic event like a suicide, potential exposure to bio-hazardous contaminants exist from blood borne pathogens or exposure to other illnesses like HIV or Hepatitis if the proper precautions are not taken.
Blood spills can carry a whole host of pathogens and diseases, the most common examples are HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C and viral hemorrhagic fevers. Given that some blood-borne diseases are lethal, standard practice regards all blood (and any body fluid) as potentially infectious.
In addition, there are several legal requirements which need to be adhered to when locating and safely eliminating biohazards such as blood, body fluids and needlesticks which when mishandled can contribute to serious illnesses if adequate precautions are not taken.
