Blood Cleanup

Human blood can carry bloodborne pathogens, and OSHA requires covered employers to treat human blood and certain other potentially infectious materials using universal precautions. Significant blood contamination should be approached as an exposure-control problem, not merely a stain.

Safety note: Do not disturb an active or restricted scene. Avoid direct contact with blood, sharps, or unknown biological material. If anyone is in immediate danger, contact emergency services.

Blood on porous materials

Carpet, padding, mattresses, upholstery, unfinished wood and some building materials can absorb blood. The appropriate response may differ from cleanup on a sealed hard surface.

Sharps change the risk

Never reach blindly into contaminated material or trash where needles, broken glass or other sharps may be present. Sharps require puncture-resistant handling practices.

Workplace incidents

Employers whose workers have reasonably anticipated occupational exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials may have obligations under OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens Standard. Site-specific compliance questions should be addressed with qualified safety guidance.
