WHAT IS HOARDING?
Hoarding is a
psychological condition that causes people to obsessively collect items and
makes it difficult for a person to part with things once they are acquired.
Many people don’t realize the health and safety hazards that hoarding brings,
as it related to biohazardous materials. Extreme filth and feces can bring with
it bacteria that should be disposed of as biohazardous waste.
WHAT IS LEVEL 1
HOARDING?
Level 1 hoarding is the least severe of the
hoarding levels, and it often goes unrecognized by outside observers and the
hoarder. The first phase of many Hoarding Disorders can
include the following characteristics:
- Difficulty parting
with redundant items
- Excessive shopping
for items already in the home or that are not needed
- Stairs, doors, and
windows in the home are accessible
- There are no
noticeable odors in the home
- Little to no visible
clutter on surfaces or in walkways
- Sanitation and
cleanliness exist within the home
IMPORTANCE OF SAFETY GEAR DURING
A HOARDING CLEANUP
Anyone
who works in hoarding cleanup must
be properly equipped and trained to handle biohazard materials. Otherwise, the
bacteria transmitted through animal and human waste can cause infections and
respiratory complications that have long-term effects.
It’s not
uncommon for hoarding cleanup technicians to be exposed to a cocktail of human
and animals waste, hypodermic needles, broken glass and black mold. Knowing
this, Biomart technicians prepare for
these hazardous working conditions by wearing personal protective
gear that meets the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s Bloodborne
Pathogen Standard, including:
- Disposable mask
- Purifying full-face
respirator
- Heavy exposure gloves
- Puncture resistant gloves
- Biohazard suits
Biomart Hoarding Cleanup uses proper
training and the right equipment to allow everyone to remain safe in the
remediation of a hoarder’s home.
