What is Cross Contamination?

What is Cross-Contamination? 

Cross Contamination is when bacteria is unintentionally transferred from one surface to another.

With the COVID-19 pandemic, it is important to be aware that cross-contamination may be possible with the virus. 

Touching Surfaces and Objects 

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has recently came out with some news saying the virus "does not spread easily" from touching surfaces and objects. However, it is possible that objects can have the virus on it if someone sneezed or coughed on it. 

Our Recommendation

As the CDC is still learning more about the virus, it is SERVPRO of Westminster's recommendation to wipe down any surfaces in public spaces. For example, it would be a good idea to wipe down door handles, buttons on elevators, stairway railings, and shopping cart handles. 

Wash Your Hands! 

Without a doubt, washing your hands is the best method to keep yourself safe from COVID-19. If there is no place to wash your hands, then using hand sanitizer is the second-best option! 

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, visit SERVPRO of Westminster's website or give us a call at (714) 248-9261

How EPR can benefit your company

7/8/2021 (Permalink)

According to FEMA, around 40 - 60% of small businesses never reopen their doors after facing a disaster. Even knowing that, most small businesses haven’t put in the time to create an emergency response plan so that they can minimize the impact of a disaster. SERVPRO will create a free Emergency Ready Profile for any business that wants one, but do you know how it can benefit your business?

  1. You’ll know where to find the utility shutoffs. Depending on the size and nature of a disaster, it might be imperative that somebody immediately shuts off the gas, water, and/or electricity. Even if you personally know where the shutoffs are located, if you aren’t around at the time of a disaster, the role would fall on an available employee. SERVPRO’s Emergency Ready Profile marks all of the shutoff locations (and shows pictures), so your team can quickly do what’s needed.
  1. You’ll have an immediate plan of action. The longer your business is inactive, the less likely you’ll recover. With our Emergency Ready Profile, you’ll not only have a guide for you and your employees, but you’ll also have instant access to your local SERVPRO professionals. The faster we’re there to clean up the damage, the quicker you’re able to reopen your doors.
  1. You’ll have an incredible asset at no cost. In most cases, you would have to dedicate precious time and resources to create a quality emergency readiness plan, which is often a reason they’re never made. But SERVPRO’s franchises have the tools and skills to assemble an Emergency Ready Profile in a short amount of time. The only thing they need from you is a few minutes to go over some basic questions to get them started. If you’re wondering what the catch is, it’s just that if you ever do have a disaster, SERVPRO hopes you’ll call them for help!

If you’ve never thought about creating an emergency plan for your business, it’s time to start considering it. Because disaster rarely offers a warning, you don’t want to be caught off-guard when it strikes.

Commercial Water Damage

Worker with equipment to clean the carpet Call SERVPRO today!

Water Damage 

A commercial business in the SERVPRO of Westminster community experienced water damage due to sewage backup. The accident occurred sometime at night. But since SERVPRO of Westminster provides 24/7 emergency service, our crew was able to get there on time. SERVPRO provides its services to commercial buildings such as office spaces, warehouses, and restaurants.

Sewage backup happens whenever there is an issue with the plumbing or if a toilet is clogged. This then leads contaminated water to affect areas of flooring and surfaces surrounding it. This can also be identified as a biohazard due to the toxins in the dirty water. 

The SERVPRO of Westminster crew would clean the areas with specialized equipment to absorb the dirty water and dispose of it correctly. They then would go back with special cleaning supplies to decontaminate the area and place drying equipment to prevent any further damage. 

Emergency Water Damage Tips

Are asbestos harmful to your health

2/12/2021 (Permalink)

Asbestos. The name has its origin in the Greek word for inextinguishable. A highly-effective and inexpensive fire-retardant material and thermal and acoustic insulator, asbestos was used extensively in home construction from the early 1940s through the 1970s. However, we now know that prolonged exposure to asbestos fibers can lead to lung disease. When disturbed, tiny abrasive asbestos fibers are easily inhaled, which damages lung tissue and can cause cancer. In homes built prior to 1975, asbestos is most commonly found as thermal insulation on basement boilers and pipes

Questions is, what in the world is asbestos? 

Asbestos are mineral fibers that come from rocks and several minerals. They are often woven into fabrics that are used for insulating houses.

Are they dangerous? 

Too much exposure to asbestos can cause serious damage to your health. Usually, the greater the chance of developing harmful health effects. But, disease symptoms may take many years to develop following exposure.

How To Protect Your Business Incase of a Fire

6/28/2019 (Permalink)

Image by Compli

Here are three easy and significant steps to take safety precaution in your business. 

Step #1: Have An Evacuation Plan

Having an evacuation plan is an extremely important part of keeping yourself, as well as your employees safe. Make sure that every employee is aware of the evacuation plan. It is best to practice this fire drill at least once a month.

Step #2: Have Smoke Alarms

Having operating smoke alarms is a crucial way to alert people of smoke and a possible fire. The smoke alarms in your business should be tested at least once a month, and the batteries should be replaced twice a year.

Step #3: Obtain Several Fire Extinguishers 

Having several fire extinguishers in your business will allow you to have a better chance of controlling a small fire. As a business owner, it is essential that every staff member is informed of where they are located. As well as training your employees how to use them, in case a fire breaks out.

A small business affected by storm damage in Wilmington, CA

Life can be unexpected. Therefore, you should learn how to protect your business from all kinds of floods. Whether it's a natural flood or plumbing issue, it's better to be safe than sorry. These three tips can help you be a little bit more prepared 

Tip #1: List important contacts

In case a flood does occur, its always best to have a list of important contacts. Such as your insurance company, key customers and suppliers. In many cases, important information can be lost due to a flood

Tip #2: A map

It is also important to make a map, but not just any map. A map showing locations of key equipment, where to shut off electricity and other services is extremely important. This will help you as an employer stay safe, as well as your employees.

Tip #3: Insure your business against flooding 

Since floods can be very damaging, it is best to insure your business. This will help you replace materials and repair damages.

At SERVPRO of Westminster, we understand that life is always unexpected. Which is why you can trust our team to get the job done right for those unexpected life mishaps.

Breakfast on us! 

This week we joined many others across the nation in celebrating National Police Memorial Week with Westminster Police Department. It was such a privilege for SERVPRO Westminster staff to treat our local law enforcement during their week of recognition. With almost 100 breakfast burritos, 4 dozen donuts and gallons of coffee and juice, it was one of the most rewarding community appreciation events thus far. We truly enjoyed the tour of the facility and even more so meeting the many wonderful men and women of WPD; including Police Chief Ralph Ornelas. If you have not had the chance to meet him, he is best described in the words of Mayor Tri Ta “Chief Ornelas is very humble and honest.” * This statement is true and is recognizable in every interaction with Chief Ornelas. We look forward to hosting future community events for our law enforcement and adding National Police Memorial to our annual lists of events. Thank you all (past and present) who have served in law enforcement.

BONUS: Did you know National Police Week was initiated in 1962 by President Kennedy? However according to nleomf.org " President Kennedy proclaimed May 15 as National Peace Officers Memorial Day and the calendar week in which May 15 falls, as National Police week."
