In the next step, biohazardous materials are placed in specially designed, leak-proof containers. Clear labeling, adhering to regulatory standards, identifies the contents and informs handlers of necessary precautions.
Until collection, the waste is kept in designated areas that are both safe and temperature-controlled, ensuring that no unauthorized individuals may access them. This helps to minimize the hazards of exposure.
Our trained professionals visit the location at scheduled times and do the biohazard pick-up promptly. We document every single detail for traceability and regulatory compliance.
We transfer waste to treatment facilities in a safe manner using licensed trucks. Our routes and procedures are intended to reduce hazards while complying with local and federal standards.
