What is a biological hazard in the workplace?
A biological hazard is any material from a living thing that can cause illness. In a workplace that can mean blood, bodily fluids, sewage, mold, animal waste or sharps. Safety staff or an attorney can explain an employer's duties.
Does commercial insurance cover biohazard cleanup?
Sometimes. A commercial property policy, a business owner's policy or the building owner's policy may help, and some exclude certain events. Call the insurer before cleanup starts, take photos and keep every receipt.
