Bio Hazard

7/9/2021 (Permalink)

In the medical field there’s a saying “Scrub in and Scrub out” when entering a room. This is how we do it before entering.

COVID-19 preventative

Here at SERVPRO of Centennial Hills we pride ourselves on taking the time to get a service resolved in a professional and timely manner. One of these services includes disinfecting with our own SERVPROXIDE antimicrobial. In the event that a customer calls in with a confirmed COVID-19 case and SERVPRO arrives at the scene, these are the steps to take in order to get the job done...

Step 1: Suit Up

• SERVPRO team members must put on a full body, protective tyvex suit
• Tape the seam between gloves and the suit to prevent exposure
• Wear respiratory and eye protection to avoid possible contamination
• All SERVPRO members MUST be sprayed and disinfected themselves before entering into the property

Step 2: Gear Up

• Grab all necessary equipment needed to accomplish the job

(i.e. SERVPROXIDE, Fogging machine, clean towels, extension chords, etc)

Step 3: Disinfect

• The SERVPRO fogger takes the liquid SERVPROXIDE antimicrobial and disperses it into a very fine mist(fog)
• Allow the fog to settle for 10-15 minutes before wiping high-touch areas

(I.e keyboards, coffee machines, countertops, cabinets, door handles, etc)

Step 4: Clean Up

• Once the affected areas have been disinfected and wiped, all SERVPRO team members will go outside to be sprayed and disinfected once more before removing the full body suit
• After everyone is back in their normal SERVPRO attire, the body suits and gloves are put in biohazard bags to be properly disposed
• The goggles and respirators are put into a trash bag to be taken back to SERVPRO HQ to be properly disinfected and wiped down themselves

These are all the necessary precautions to get a COVID-19 job done effectively!
