What bodily fluid cleanup covers:
Everyone steps away. The crew sets up barriers and puts on gloves, eye protection, masks and protective clothing.
Plastic sheeting and sealed doorways keep contamination from being carried into clean rooms on shoes or tools.
Waste and visible fluid are lifted with disposable tools. Anything porous that has soaked through is removed and packed.
Disinfectant stays wet on each surface for the label time. The crew then checks the work and takes the waste out.
