Chesapeake
An
Environment like No Other
Some environments don’t just fall into a category. Categories may classify various environments,
or the projects that remediate them, into components that accurately segregate
them. Other environments fall into a category
of their own.
These environments are in a category of their own because other
categories have no frame of reference to compare to. Those affected are the only ones who truly
understand the priority and the sensitivity required to handle these types of environments.
Environments that arise from biohazardous events such as suicides, murders or homicides, crime or trauma scenes, and
accidents are unlike any other. Our
fully-compliant trauma scene decontamination technicians are experienced in
biohazard remediation and will
respond with the sensitivity and capability needed to resolve the environmental
issues inherent to crime and trauma scenes.
Professional
Service
USA Decon Chesapeake delivers a service
portfolio that includes remediation of environments contaminated by blood and biological fluids or any biohazardous material.
USA Decon’s Chesapeake technicians have
years of experience in the cleaning and restoration of environments affected by
crime and trauma, human decomposition, law enforcement
response tear gas, infection control, and methamphetamine lab residue remediation.
Our trauma scene decontamination technicians are fully bonded
and insured and our coverage is attested to by Compliance Depot.
Various projects demand differing degrees of discretion. While we are discreet in all of our services,
some of our contracts are with clients that require the utmost in discretion.
Luxury hotels, public arenas, schools, airports, transportation depots,
and other similar environments may need increased flexibility from our trauma scene decontamination technicians to forgo
additional attention to the scene.
USA Decon Chesapeake will work within
our Engineering Controls, Work Practice Controls, and Administrative Controls
to meet your elevated discretion needs.
USA Decon Chesapeake recognizes that
our services could not arrive at a more sensitive time for our customers. We are very proud to be able to assist your
family or commercial interest in a time of need. Please contact us with your service request.
Fully-Compliant
Remediation
Our trauma scene decontamination technicians are compliant with
the Engineering, Work Practice, and Administrative Controls required to perform
this type of work. We are in compliance
with Engineering Controls such as Personal Protective Equipment (OSHA 1910.132), Bloodborne Pathogens (OSHA 1910.1030), and Respiratory Protection (OSHA 1910.134).
In addition to the Engineering Controls, USA Decon’s trauma scene decontamination technicians are experts in Work
Practice Controls such as Confined Space (OSHA 1910.146) and
Hazard Communication (OSHA 1910.1200). We adhere to Administrative Controls, such as
scheduling due to safety concerns, on a project-to-project basis.
The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) controls waste throughout its life-cycle by
establishing standards for waste from its generation to its
disposal. One of the best aspects of
RCRA is the flexibility it offers private industry in explaining waste classification.
By clearly dictating the handling standards for medical waste, RCRA is a
major tool of the trauma scene decontamination technicians in disease outbreak control. In addition to the list of regulated
substances banned from conventional disposal, RCRA uses a characteristic system
to explain its scope.
Under this characteristic system, any substance that meets any of the
components (ignitability, reactivity, corrosivity, or toxicity) is regulated waste.
And this regulated waste has stringent
disposal requirements.
State administrative agencies are authorized by the federal government
to implement and enforce hazardous waste regulations. As long as the state program is as stringent
or broader in scope than the federal regulation, the state agency is authorized
to provide enforcement for RCRA. All
authorized state programs are on file with the EPA’s Office of Solid Waste (OSW).
