Common Questions About Cleaning a Biohazard Car in Louisville/Jefferson County metro government (balance)
What should I do before the cleaners get there?
Call 911 first if anyone is hurt. Keep people and pets away from the vehicle, do not drive it, and do not wipe or spray the fluids. Take photos for insurance and note what the contamination touched.
Is blood in a car a health risk?
Yes. Blood can carry bloodborne pathogens such as hepatitis B and HIV. Dried blood can still be hazardous, and enclosed cabins hold odor. That is why the area is cleaned with protection and disinfected.
Can the vehicle be cleaned where it is parked?
Often, yes. Crews can work in a driveway, garage or lot, depending on space, weather and the extent of the contamination. Some vehicles are moved to an enclosed space to keep the work private and contained.
What is a biohazard vehicle?
A biohazard vehicle is a car, truck, van or bus that has been contaminated by blood, body fluids, waste or decomposition. Because these materials can carry infectious germs, the vehicle needs decontamination, not just a wash.
Who pays for cleaning a rental or fleet vehicle?
A rental company or fleet owner may handle cleaning through its own insurer or its own account. Ask the rental company or fleet manager who to call before you book work. The vehicle owner usually decides who is hired.
What if the vehicle is held by police or a tow yard?
Ask who can release it before cleanup starts. Cleaners can usually begin once the vehicle is released to the owner or an authorized person. Ask the cleanup company about timing once the vehicle is released.
