Commercial virus decontamination entails the physical cleaning and disinfecting contaminated areas. The decontamination process is determined by the type of virus and protocol for the project. However, to effectively clean your workplace, consider hiring an experienced industrial hygienist who specializes in virus decontamination. Numerous factors are considered when offering biohazard decontamination services. Some of these factors include:
Incubation period
The lifecycle of the virus
Virus transmission rate
Mortality rate
Means of transmission
To develop a comprehensive decontamination protocol, understanding the characteristics of the virus and the layout of the building is critical. For example, coronavirus is transmitted via contact. Therefore, high-risk areas like doorknobs, elevator buttons, and light switches should be disinfected thoroughly. On the other hand, if the virus is airborne, decontaminating the HVAC system prevents further spread of the virus. When providing virus decontamination services, the following should be considered:
Sensitive areas in the building
Normal operation hours
Ingress and egress areas
Type of occupants in the building
The use of the commercial building
Number of people currently infected by the virus
The time the virus has infected these people
High traffic areas
Design of the HVAC system
Understanding how the commercial building is utilized, the high traffic areas, and the type of people in the building facilitate successful commercial virus decontamination.
Coronavirus decontamination should be handled by professionals who are highly trained in all decontamination procedures. To effectively provide commercial virus decontamination, Service Restoration follows all Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) guidelines, hazard communications, respiratory protection, and standards for bloodborne pathogens.
