Q: Does insurance pay for Bio Solution's services?
A: In many cases our services are fully or partially covered by home or auto insurance. Please call us and we can help you determine if insurance will cover the costs of our services.
Q: Is regular household disinfectant sufficient for killing pathogens or viruses?
A: No, household disinfectants are not approved to kill certain pathogens or viruses and we do not recommend using them when full disinfection is important.
Q: What can I do to protect myself from H1N1 Infection
A: Wash hands often with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds, or use hand sanitizer. Keep your hands away from your face. Cough and sneeze into your arm, not your hand. Keep common surface areas you touch or contact clean and disinfected.
Q: After a mould inspection how long does it take to get a report?
A: In most cases a report is given within 3 days after the inspection or testing.
Q: What is considered a hazardous material?
A: Hazardous material is defined as any chemical or biological substance that could cause an adverse health effect.
Q: What dangers do these hazards pose to employees and the public?
A: Blood borne pathogens spread viruses and infection. Some of these include HIV, tuberculosis and hepatitis.
Q: Can I have an employee clean up bio hazardous material such as blood?
A: It is prohibited by WCB for employees to be placed in a position with exposure to blood, needles or other material potentially containing blood borne pathogens without first providing:
- Blood borne pathogen training
- A complete blood borne pathogen exposure control plan
- Access to the proper personal protective equipment to prevent exposure
- Vaccinations to prevent blood borne pathogen transmission
- A method to remove and properly store the bio-hazardous waste in a marked container for disposal at an approved site.
Q: What about just a minimal amount of blood? What if you can't tell what the fluid is?
A: Universal Standards must be practiced whether there are small or large quantities of blood or fluid that potentially contains blood. Universal Standards maintain that all "unidentified fluids" must be treated as if they are dangerous and with caution.
Q: Will regular cleaners disinfect blood or other body fluids?
A: No, only certified chemicals recognized by the government and applied correctly will safely disinfect blood borne pathogens.
Q: Why is it important to have a specialized bio hazardous company handle cleaing potentially bio hazardous material?
A: In order to ensure an area that may be infected with bio hazardous materials is disinfected properly the proper procedures and chemicals must be used. A specialized Bio Hazardous company such as Bio Solutions is trained and equiped to provide these services.
