Biohazard cleanup in McMinnville, Tennessee

Cleanup in McMinnville: what shapes the work

Warren County's nursery and agricultural operations employ many seasonal and year-round workers, and workplace incidents can happen far from paved roads. Access and water supply on a rural site are confirmed before a crew arrives.

In town, the housing stock is mostly older single-family homes and modest rentals. Older homes with pier foundations need an under-floor inspection whenever fluids may have passed through the floor.

Before help arrives

1. If someone is hurt or has died, call 911 first. Inside city limits the McMinnville Police Department responds; outside them, the Warren County Sheriff's Office.
2. Do not clean anything yet. Wait until the scene is released, and avoid household cleaners on blood or fluids.
3. Close off the area. Shut the door, keep children and pets out, and turn off fans blowing toward the room.
4. Write down the case or report number and the agency name. Your insurer and the property owner may need it.
5. Call us when you are ready. We will explain what is involved before anything is agreed.
