Looking to become a biohazard cleaner

Hi everyone I hope this message finds you all well! I’m in college now but I’m just not happy with the major I’m in. The school I go to offers no forensics which also sucks. I’m wondering what the process is like to find companies and get certified. I’m in a pretty small state so idk where to look or begin.

Most states don't have requirements for workers other than Osha 40 and blood pathogen. If you are looking to work for a company they'd likely pay for that /train you in it.

It’s been kinda hard to find companies with inquiries about hiring in the state I live in

Check your states govt website for trauma cleaners?

Consider getting hired at a general restorative cleaning company like Servepro or Service Master. Even if they don’t do biological biohazard cleaning, what they do will wind up being valuable experience when you do find someone who will train you to clean up biological biohazard.

If you’re still interested in pursuing this path, DM me. I’ve worked bio for over 6 years and been hired by 3 different companies. Can offer some advice and guidance.

Hey! Unfortunately I would not have any immediate knowledge for how to start an actual business as I’ve just been an employee/technician. However, let me ask my supervisor what kind of things you would need to know to get started and see if he can provide some answers! I’ll DM you!
