Why it matters
More than a stain
OSHA describes bloodborne pathogens as germs in human blood that can cause disease, such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV. Its Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030) is the rule employers follow when workers may be exposed.
Blood can run under baseboards, into carpet padding and between floorboards, so a surface that looks clean may not be. A cleanup company checks where it went, removes what cannot be cleaned, then cleans and disinfects.
This applies at home and at work: a fall in a shop, an injury in a warehouse, a medical emergency in an office or a church.
Where it is often needed
Homes
Falls, injuries and medical emergencies, including after someone has gone to hospital.
Businesses
Shops, offices, warehouses and places of worship after an injury on site.
Rentals
A landlord preparing a unit after a tenant's injury or death.
Until the company arrives
- Keep people and pets away from the area.
- If you must touch anything, wear disposable gloves and wash your hands well afterwards.
- Do not vacuum dried blood; it can spread particles.
- Close off the area and leave the cleaning to the company.
Questions
Is a small amount of blood a reason to call?
Not always. A small spill on a hard surface can often be handled with gloves and a disinfectant. Call when it has soaked into carpet, upholstery or flooring, or when there is a lot of it.
Can a business call this number?
Yes. The call goes to an independent cleanup company that serves your ZIP code.
