Step by Step: Biohazard Remediation in Earlham

1. Plan the approach

The crew decides how to enter, which rooms need decontamination and where waste will be staged. The plan keeps the job efficient and discreet.

2. Contain the area

Barriers and floor covering protect clean rooms. Crew members wear PPE and change gear before leaving the zone.

3. Take out, scrub down

Contaminated items leave in sealed bags, and the remaining surfaces are scrubbed. This clears the film that can protect germs.

A disinfectant matched to the germs stays wet for its labeled contact time. The team treats odor, inspects each surface and explains the result.
