Incident Overview
White Glove Restoration was contacted for an urgent response after a biohazard release was discovered inside a Downtown San Diego property. The affected areas included hard-surface flooring, baseboards, and nearby contents where potentially infectious bodily fluid contamination was present. Due to the exposure risk and the need for controlled handling and disposal, a certified hazardous waste cleanup was required to stabilize the space and return it to a safe condition.
Project Scope and Cleanup Actions
Upon arrival, the White Glove Restoration team performed a rapid assessment and immediately initiated a structured emergency response plan, including:
Site stabilization and access control: The team isolated the impacted zones to prevent cross-contamination, established controlled entry/exit procedures, and posted safety signage.
PPE and safety compliance: HAZWOPER-aligned safety measures were implemented, including appropriate personal protective equipment and work practices to reduce exposure risk.
Removal of impacted materials: Porous items and materials that could not be effectively remediated were carefully removed, packaged, and prepared for approved disposal as regulated waste.
Biohazard cleaning and decontamination: Affected surfaces were cleaned using professional-grade methods, followed by targeted disinfection and sanitization to address potentially infectious contamination.
Odor control and detail cleaning: The team completed detail work around edges, corners, and adjacent touchpoints, addressing residue and applying odor-control measures where needed.
Final verification and turnover: The work area was re-evaluated to confirm visible contamination was removed, and the space met cleanliness and safety expectations prior to turnover.
"This type of call requires fast action and a precise process," said Roy Fogel, Company Representative for White Glove Restoration. "Our team is HAZWOPER Certified, which means we're prepared to respond quickly, contain the hazard, and complete a thorough cleanup that supports a safe return to use."
