What Galena Park Property Owners Ask About Decontamination
What should I do before the crew arrives?
Keep people and pets out of the affected area. Do not wipe, vacuum or scrub anything. Take photos from a safe distance for your insurer, and call 911 first if anyone is in danger.
Do OSHA rules apply to biohazard decontamination?
Workers who may contact blood or infectious material are covered by the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030. Professional crews follow its rules on PPE and handling. Employers have their own duties, and safety staff can explain them.
What happens to the waste?
Contaminated materials are sealed, labeled and hauled as regulated medical waste, not put in household trash. In Texas, companies that haul other people's untreated medical waste register with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. Ask the team how its waste is handled.
Is it safe to stay in the house during decontamination?
Usually it is better not to. The affected area is sealed off, products are in use and the air is being managed. Ask the crew whether other parts of the house can stay in use.
What if the contamination came from a death or a crime?
The crew treats the space with care and keeps the details private. Law enforcement must release a crime scene before cleanup begins. If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988 any time.
How do I choose among biohazard remediation companies?
Ask what training the crew has, how it deals with waste, whether it works with insurers and what records you get. Request references and a clear description of the steps. Then decide whether the company fits your needs.
