What Erwin Drivers Ask About Vehicle Biohazard Cleanup
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.
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.
Will the neighbors know a cleanup is happening?
Vehicle biohazard cleanup is handled discreetly. Ask when you call about unmarked vehicles and quiet work. Cleaners are there for the owner, not to draw attention.
What is a biohazard salvage car?
A salvage vehicle is one an insurer has declared a total loss. Some are also tagged for contamination when blood or fluids were involved. Labels and rules vary, so ask the insurer or the state title office what applies to a specific vehicle.
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.
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.
