What San Rafael Drivers Ask About Vehicle Biohazard Cleanup
What is a biohazard vehicle?
A biohazard vehicle is a car, truck, van or bus that has been contaminated by blood, body fluids, waste or decomposition. Because these materials can carry infectious germs, the vehicle needs decontamination, not just a wash.
Is biohazard car detailing different from a regular detail?
Yes. A regular detail cleans dirt and stains with household products. Biohazard car detailing starts with decontamination, then moves to restoring the finish. Skipping the first step leaves germs and odor behind.
Will a vehicle history report show a biohazard?
It may, or it may not. It depends on whether an insurer, a salvage record or a title brand noted the contamination. Ask the seller, the insurer or the title office, and keep cleaning records.
What rules do vehicle biohazard cleaners follow?
Cleaners follow rules designed to protect workers and the public from bloodborne pathogens, including the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030. They wear PPE and use EPA-registered disinfectants.
What should I do before the cleaners get there?
Call 911 first if anyone is hurt. Keep people and pets away from the vehicle, do not drive it, and do not wipe or spray the fluids. Take photos for insurance and note what the contamination touched.
How do you clean a biohazard car?
Cleaning a biohazard car starts with protection: gloves, eye protection and a mask. Contaminated upholstery and padding are removed, hard surfaces are cleaned, and an EPA-registered disinfectant is used by the label. Heavy contamination is best left to a vehicle biohazard cleanup team.
