A biohazard incident can be upsetting and unfamiliar. Start by prioritizing people. If there is immediate danger or anyone needs urgent medical attention, leave the unsafe area and contact local emergency services.
Do not touch or attempt to clean material that may be contaminated. Keep others and pets away from the affected area while you seek appropriate professional guidance. This website does not provide emergency response, medical advice, or do-it-yourself cleanup instructions.
When discussing a contractor, ask what work it is prepared to perform, what it excludes, and which requirements apply in your location. A page on this site does not confirm contractor availability or credentials.
For workplace exposure background, see the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard. OSHA’s standard concerns workplace protections and does not certify contractors listed by this website.
