Biohazard Breakdown: Our Team Takes the Lead in Educating Insurance Brokers

Biohazard Breakdown: Our Team Takes the Lead in Educating Insurance Brokers

A few weeks ago, local insurance brokers completed a continuing education (CE) course on biohazard. As a leading property damage restoration company with IICRC-certified technicians, we prioritize staying current with the latest industry techniques, equipment, and innovations. Given the risks associated with biohazard cleanup, understanding proper methods for cleaning, sanitizing, and disposing of hazardous waste is crucial. The CE course provided our insurance partners with in-depth knowledge on various biohazard-related tasks, including blood and bodily fluid remediation, virus decontamination, sewage cleanup, odour control, crime scene cleanup, and hoarding cleanup.

In the Classroom

The informative and engaging course, presented in our Gravenhurst office by owner Eric Gonneau, provided a comprehensive overview of biohazard waste removal. “The Basics of Biohazard” covered a range of key issues, from sewage remediation and decontamination to blood-borne pathogens, human biological materials, and other hazardous substances. Attendees gained valuable insights into the latest techniques for addressing various biohazard scenarios.

Additionally, there was a hands-on session that focused on properly using personal protective equipment (PPE). This practical component showed insurance brokers how our team prepares for biohazard-related tasks. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the interactive and immersive learning experience!

“The Basics of Biohazard” course involved both classroom training and hands-on activities, such as dressing in PPE gear.

After a productive two-hour session, we celebrated with a delicious barbecue lunch. Attendees had the opportunity to chat and network while enjoying burgers and hotdogs. Overall, it was a fantastic afternoon, and everyone involved highly praised it. Stay tuned this fall when we will be hosting another continuing education course. Thank you to all who attended!
