A biohazard vehicle is a car, truck, van or bus that has been contaminated by blood, body fluids, waste or decomposition. Because these materials can carry infectious germs, the vehicle needs decontamination, not just a wash.
A vehicle where a death occurred is cleaned only after law enforcement or the medical examiner releases it. The team removes contaminated materials, disinfects and treats odor, which can settle into seats, headliner and vents.
Cleaners follow rules designed to protect workers and the public from bloodborne pathogens, including the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030. They wear PPE and use EPA-registered disinfectants.
