With roughly 2,274 residents, Historic Southside is a small community, and biohazard cleanup is available here the same way it is in a big city. The average July high in Historic Southside is 97 degrees. Heat speeds decomposition, so an unattended death can become a larger cleanup in a short time.
Protective equipment is the first thing a crew puts on and the last thing it takes off. Respirators, gloves, face protection and disposable suits keep technicians safe, and OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030) is the guide for how it is used.
