Destin Duo Whips Up Breakfast For Captains Hunting Oil

Friday, July 2nd, 2010

by Andrew Metz (originally posted at EmeraldCoast.com)

Greg Reidinger and Jerry Turner have felt adrift and landlocked, wondering how they can contribute to the efforts of oil cleanup on the Gulf.

On Thursday morning, they gave it a shot.

After awaking at about 3 a.m., Reidinger and Turner prepared dozens of sausage, egg and cheese biscuits and five gallons of coffee for the captains and crew of the vessels of opportunity, which are scouring areas offshore for signs of oil. As the seagoers attended the morning safety briefing behind Fisherman’s Wharf, they were greeted with a tailgate full of free breakfast.

“I’m not with a crew,” said Reidinger. “I’m stuck at the dock doin’ nothin’.”

Reidinger is a yacht broker with MarineMax in Destin and, while his profession depends on the salvaging of the Gulf,  has not had the hands-on opportunity to help.

Turner is an avid scuba diver and the founder and owner of Destin-based Advanced Bio-Treatment.

“They were hesitant, because they didn’t know why I was out there,” said Reidinger. “But after they saw all the coolers they came over. “

Reidinger said that he was surprised to see that the crews were most appreciative of the water that he provided.

“It’s because of all the stuff they have to wear,” Reidinger said.

The pair said they will likely serve up breakfast again soon.

“It was a good time to say ‘hey’ and tell them to have a good day,” said Reidinger. “We all make a living on the water and we have to help out where we can. We just wanted to brighten up their spirits. I know these guys would rather be fishing.”

Crime Scene Clean Up: Objective – Remediation

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010

Crime scene cleaner companies operate on the principle that the physical products of a crime, whether visible or not, should be disposed of quickly but not too hastily to suggest carelessness or leave a worse problem. Site remediation work is the process of returning a trauma site to its original clean state. Professional scene cleanup companies focus on the removal of these dangerous products of a crime both to ameliorate health problems and to ease potential psychological effects. Scene cleanup companies perform homicide scene clean ups, suicide clean ups, blood scene clean ups, accident scene clean ups, meth lab clean ups, staph infection clean ups, mrsa infection clean ups and odor clean ups.

In each and every instance, the objective is complete site remediation. Crime scene cleaner companies focus on the resolution of a physical problem to solve what is also a psychological issue: the impact the observable evidence of a crime has on a neighborhood, home owner, apartment landlord or tenant, a community or a city. These companies approach the crime scene clean up in all of its above-mentioned types by professionally addressing actual physical problems: smells, stains, blood, infections, toxins, hazardous chemicals. By succeeding in this approach the crime scene cleaning companies bring, not only a healthy environment for people to enjoy and thrive in, but also the peace of mind that comes with not being faced over and over with the physical reminders of the crime committed.

Biohazard Cleanup of Staph Infections

Thursday, March 18th, 2010

Staph infections are caused by a group of bacteria called staphylococcus. These staph bacteria can cause skin infections directly or can result in food poisoning and toxic shock syndrome indirectly. Among the types of staph bacteria is a particular type denoted by the letters MRSA. Whereas most staph infections occur at schools or offices, MRSA is frequently spread at nursing homes and elderly care facilities as they tend to infect older people with weaker immune systems. It is not unusual for a staph infection to manifest itself in the form of an abscess or boil loaded with pus.

Advanced Bio- Treatment will consult with your organization to prepare a plan to avoid or counter the inception of the staphylococcus bacteria. Not only will this provided important health benefits – or avoid negative health consequences – for children at your school or employees at your office – but will also serve as an indicator to your insurance company that you are avoiding a potential liability-creating event or series of events. ABT’s experience in addressing chemical and biological problems as evidenced by their history of handling accident scene cleanups, crime scene cleanups, homicide scene cleanups, suicide scene cleanups, meth lab cleanups, odor removal cleanups and death scene cleanups makes it ideally suited to perform staph infection scene cleanings.

Advances in Medical Technology = Advanced Need For Bio Hazard Cleanup

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

The necessity for the existence of bio hazard clean up companies has grown in the wake of many modern developments and will continue to grow in the next few decades as doctors and researchers experiment to find new cures for various ailments and conditions. With the extraordinary computing power of today’s computers and those of the last decade, the capacity of chemists and biologists to develop new medicines and drugs and other substances useful in performing surgery has created great promise that many ailments can be minimized, diseases will be cured and new types of treatment can be afforded sick patients. The completion of the human genome project a few years ago only galvanizes this effort.

Unfortunately, the flip side of this positive trend is that chemicals are being created that, when applied to organic tissue can create unforeseen consequences: the production of biologically dangerous materials. Now this is not to suggest that these substances have any similarities to biological weapons that we fear terrorists may wield against us. What it does say, however, is that many new byproducts of treatments and medicines are being created which possess dangerous properties. The appropriate disposal of these byproducts and waste products is what creates the need for bio hazard clean up companies that can knowledgably abide by sensible regulations in the manner in which this material is handled.

It stands to logic, considering the rapid pace in which medical knowledge is accelerating that this need will, too, accelerate. Hence, in the future it will be wise if more companies, whether they originally be crime scene clean up companies, accident scene clean up companies, blood clean up companies, staph infection clean up companies, mrsa clean up companies, odor removal clean up companies or meth lab clean up companies expand their operations to include bio hazard clean ups. Only then will we be able to meet the greater need that is anticipated to develop as we proceed further into the twenty-first century.

Comprehensive Range of Scene Clean Up Services

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

Crime scene clean up companies vary in terms of the kind of services which they may provide. Some focus on accident scene cleanings. Others focus on death scene cleaning, or homicide and suicide scene. Many tend to work on MRSA infection or staph infection cleanup. And yet others will perform meth lab cleanings.

Perhaps the most effective crime scene cleanup companies are those that offer a comprehensive range of services: the ability to handle all of these types of cleanups not to mention odor removal or odor scene cleanups, blood scene removal or blood scene cleanups and trauma scene cleanings. The virtue of being so multi-faceted is that they have exposure to many types of problems relating to hazardous chemicals. This enables them to call on a greater level of experience when faced with a new problem.

Sometimes particularly with the cleaning of a meth lab, a meth lab cleaning company may identify a unique chemical they have not seen before. By learning to determine how to effectively and completely eliminate a new hazardous material they will be better prepared to handle new problems that other crime scene cleaners may miss.

Regardless, it should be noted that there are an abundance of different types of crime scene cleaner companies in today’s marketplace. Until we manage to live in a crime-free or accident-free world we can expect the need for their services to continue to exist.
