Bio Hazard Cleanup at Fuel Processing Company

Friday, August 13th, 2010

The bio hazard cleaning company arrived in their bright haz-mat suits looking like a group of astronauts. A petroleum processing and propane transfer station had a leak which exploded killing two people in a massive fireball.  OSHA had completed their work and now the company needed to exercise efforts to ease tensions within the community and their personnel.  This would begin with cleanup efforts designed to remove any traces of the deceased’s bodies.

The members of the crew discussed the chemical properties of the leaked material and whether it may have mixed with any other substances. The bio hazard clean up crew, working in tandem with the OSHA and plant officials designed a cleanup and disinfection plan.  At this point, they ascertained what cleaning agents and solvents would be needed to get their job done. The crew then proceeded with the bio hazard cleanup.

After they finished the job, they put together, in compliance with an OSHA request, a report on the details of the cleanup. Since they are part of a company that also conducts crime scene cleanups, accident scene cleanups, homicide scene cleanups, suicide scene cleanups, meth lab cleanups, odor removal cleanups and death scene cleanups not to mention staph infection scene cleanups, they have extensive experience working with law enforcement or other oversight authorities. Of course, the people who wrote the report did not have to construct it while wearing the flashy protective outfits that set them apart from the workers at the plant they had seen.

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.”

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.
