What Columbus Managers and Owners Ask About Commercial Cleanup
How do I prepare my business before the crew arrives?
Close off the affected area and keep staff and customers out. Do not wipe, vacuum or scrub anything. Take photos from a safe distance for your insurer and ask a manager to meet the crew.
Does commercial insurance cover biohazard cleanup?
Sometimes. A commercial property policy, a business owner's policy or the building owner's policy may help, and some exclude certain events. Call the insurer before cleanup starts, take photos and keep every receipt.
Can the work be done after hours?
Yes, in many cases. Night and weekend work lets a business keep its normal hours. Ask about scheduling when you call, since the plan depends on the size of the job and who needs access.
Does a business have to report a biohazard incident?
It depends on the incident and the business, and this page cannot say what applies to you. An attorney, an insurer or a safety consultant can explain reporting duties. A cleanup team can explain the work and the records it can provide.
Should I ask a cleanup team for references?
Yes. Ask what training the crew has, how it disposes of waste and whether it can share references from other commercial clients. Ask for records you can show your insurer. Then decide if the team is the right fit for your site.
Can a business stay open during cleanup?
Often yes, in part. A team can seal off the affected area and work around staff, or work after hours. Ask about barriers, signs and timing. A local team can explain what is possible at your site.
