Frequently Asked Questions

Question: Is OSHA providing any guidance for companies performing remediation and clean-up efforts in high-risk situations, such as disassembly or cleanup of triage or temporary hospitals?

Answer:

OSHA's COVID-19 Safety and Health Topics page provides information for workers performing environmental cleaning and disinfection activities, including in healthcare settings and generally.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also provides information on environmental infection control related to cleaning and disinfecting healthcare facilities.

Companies providing specialized remediation or clean-up services need to have expertise in industrial hygiene and environmental remediation.
