Bloodborne Pathogens: The Hidden Dangers After an Accident

Accidents, injuries, or traumatic events at a property are difficult enough — but few people realize the health risks that linger long after the scene is cleared.

One of the most serious hazards is exposure to bloodborne pathogens — infectious microorganisms that can be present in blood and bodily fluids.

At Boone’s Restoration Technologies, we provide professional trauma cleanup to protect families, workers, and first responders from exposure to dangerous contaminants. We provide professional trauma cleanup services across Harris County, Montgomery County, and surrounding areas — including The Woodlands, Spring, Conroe, Magnolia, Tomball, and Cypress — to protect families, workers, and first responders from exposure to dangerous contaminants..

🦠 What Are Bloodborne Pathogens?

Bloodborne pathogens are disease-causing microorganisms that are carried in human blood and other body fluids.

Common examples include:

  • Hepatitis B (HBV)

  • Hepatitis C (HCV)

  • Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)

  • MRSA

  • C. diff

  • Tuberculosis

These pathogens can survive on surfaces for hours, days, or even weeks, depending on the conditions.

🚨 How Exposure Happens

You don’t have to touch blood to be exposed. Risks include:

  • Contact with contaminated surfaces or items

  • Breathing in aerosolized particles during cleaning

  • Skin contact through cuts or open wounds

  • Cross-contamination via clothing, shoes, or tools

⚠️ Standard cleaning products and protective gloves are not enough to ensure safety.

🛑 Why You Should Never Attempt Biohazard Cleanup Yourself

Even small accidents can leave behind invisible threats. DIY cleanup can:

  • Put your health at serious risk

  • Spread contamination further

  • Violate OSHA and EPA regulations

  • Compromise insurance claims and legal compliance

Professional biohazard cleanup involves strict containment, protective gear, and medical-grade disinfectants — and must follow federal safety standards.

🧰 Boone’s Trauma & Biohazard Cleanup Includes:

  • ✅ OSHA-compliant PPE and protocols

  • ✅ Hospital-grade cleaning and disinfection agents

  • ✅ Safe removal and disposal of contaminated items

  • ✅ Surface, air, and structural decontamination

  • ✅ Documentation for insurance and liability purposes

  • ✅ Compassionate, discreet service

We protect your property and everyone who enters it — now and in the future.
