What Troy Drivers Ask About Vehicle Biohazard Cleanup
What rules do vehicle biohazard cleaners follow?
Cleaners follow rules designed to protect workers and the public from bloodborne pathogens, including the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030. They wear PPE and use EPA-registered disinfectants.
What about a car where someone died?
A vehicle where a death occurred is cleaned only after law enforcement or the medical examiner releases it. The team removes contaminated materials, disinfects and treats odor, which can settle into seats, headliner and vents.
What should I do before the cleaners get there?
Call 911 first if anyone is hurt. Keep people and pets away from the vehicle, do not drive it, and do not wipe or spray the fluids. Take photos for insurance and note what the contamination touched.
Is hazmat car cleaning the same as biohazard car cleaning?
People use both phrases. Most of the time they mean decontaminating a vehicle that holds blood or other body fluids. Chemical spills are a separate hazard, and a cleanup team can say whether it can handle a specific one.
What is a biohazard vehicle?
A biohazard vehicle is a car, truck, van or bus that has been contaminated by blood, body fluids, waste or decomposition. Because these materials can carry infectious germs, the vehicle needs decontamination, not just a wash.
Does car insurance cover biohazard cleanup?
Many auto insurance policies cover some losses that are not collisions, and some policies exclude cleanup. Only your policy and your insurer can say. Call before cleanup starts, take photos and keep every receipt.
