Blood Stain Mattresses
Whether you are dealing with a murder, suicide, or any situation with blood on mattress, you have a difficult situation on your hands.
In the old days you could grab the mattresses and throw it out with the trash, or do your best to clean it, dealing with the blood stain mattresses.
These days have made these options more difficult. Besides the major concern of HIV and other life threatening diseases, the government has also made the ease of just throwing out the blood stained mattresses more difficult.
OSHA has a blood bourne pathegon rule other wise known as 29cfr1910.1030 which sates that employees can not be involved with any blood or body fluid situations without proper and full training. By the time an organization trains the employee ( forget employee turnover ), you might as well hire a certified ABRA company.
But lets get back to the blood stain mattress issue.
The question is how does someone remove and dispose of a blood stained mattress ?
Well if you pick up and carry out the mattress here are some of the issues you will face:
1. Mattresses is large and heavy- Forget blood stained mattresses, just regular mattrreses are cumbersome to remove from a room. Now think about removing the mattresses with blood and body fluid and the blood getting all over the room and in your eyes and face. It only takes a second to get a little blood fluid into your body and if the blood is effected your in big trouble. Even if you have protective clothing and face mask, if the big mattresses smacks your gear off slightly your in trouble.
2. Disposal- Each state or any government agency has major issues with dumping and transporting blood and body fluids. Get caught and your looking a major fines and even jail time.
Now you can go to a professional bio hazard company to perform the blood stained mattresses and have the paper work to protect you from government fines.
