Cleaning Blood and Body Fluid Contamination Your Self ?

You can clean up blood and blood stained mattresses, sheets, carpet, flooring,walls yourself but please be aware of the issues that you may face.

1. Government agency OSHA Blood Borne Regulation 29.100.

It states that no employee should handle blood or blood effected materials without proper training and use of personal protective equipment (Please refer to the actual regulation for additional information.

Unless you have a regular training ( following the OSHA 29.100 regulation ) and follow the regulation strictly should you let any employee near blood or blood affected materials.

2. HIV, hepatitis and other diseases.

It is well known that many of the most contagious and deadly diseases are contracted by blood. Unless you are willing to take the chance or highly trained, you are taking the chance of contracting these diseases.

3. Transporting blood and blood stained items.

You should check your state if it is legal to carry blood effected items by vehicle. Maryland has strict laws about carrying biohazard items and you must have licensed to do so.

4. Disposing of blood contained items

Just dumping your effected items in the trash or dumpster is not only illegal in most states ( it is illegal in Maryland ), but many strangers will jump into dumpsters and look for " valuable" items. Not only will you be liable if these strangers get hurt, but if they contract a disease while inside your dumpster this will make it worse.

Homeowners: Throwing away blood effected items in your trash can , can put you in the same situation.

5. Documentation:

The government requires that all biohazard materials ( blood ) must be documented and signed that it was disposed at an official disposal site that takes biohazard materials.

You must have the documentation that proves this for at least 30 years or you can be responsible for any issues even if someone else disposed the items for you.
