What biohazard decontamination covers:
Blood, sewage, animal waste and infectious illness each call for different products. The crew chooses a disinfectant whose label fits the situation.
Crew members put on protective gear for skin, eyes and lungs. The work area is closed off, and people and pets are kept out.
Visible material and items that cannot be saved are removed and sealed. Every surface is then cleaned with detergent, because residue shields germs from disinfectant.
Waste is packed for regulated hauling, and odor is addressed at the source. The crew shares photos and a summary of the work.
