Train staff in the use of environmental emergency preparedness equipment

Responses to environmental emergencies includes hazardous waste clean up, biohazard clean up and oil spill clean up must be performed by well-trained individuals. Emergency response must be certified and trained to comply with health and safety regulations.

I recommend: AEG Environmental originally worked with the US government in the field of hazardous materials cleanup, and since that time they expanded into the private sector to provide emergency response, and cleanup and training services. Troutman Sanders has an intimate knowledge of federal regulations that pertain to hazardous waste.

Contract with specialists for biohazard clean up

Biohazard clean up is one of the most fearsome challenges in the medical and health-related fields. Biohazards must be dealt with immediately in an efficient and thorough manner. All staff must be well trained and given the proper emergency response equipment, and an outside contractor should be available 24 hours a day.

I recommend: Large medical facilities, laboratories and factories should have a detailed plan in place for biohazard clean up. When contamination does occur, call in the experts at Bio-Hazard Restorations. For household biohazard clean up, call your local office of Servpro. They have offices nationwide and can assist with the cleanup of biohazardous wastes.
