What are some common biological hazards in the workplace?
Common ones include blood after an injury, vomit or feces from a medical event, sewage from a backup, needles, pest droppings and dead animals. Some also come from infectious illness. These call for protective gear and proper disinfection.
Should I ask a cleanup team for references?
Yes. Ask what training the crew has, how it disposes of waste and whether it can share references from other commercial clients. Ask for records you can show your insurer. Then decide if the team is the right fit for your site.
