Biohazard cleanup in New Johnsonville, Tennessee

Cleanup in New Johnsonville: what shapes the work

Industry shapes the town. TVA's Johnsonville site, a coal plant from 1951 to 2017 and now a combustion turbine plant, supplied steam to the neighboring Chemours titanium dioxide plant. Work inside a plant like these follows the facility's own orientation, access and documentation rules, set by its safety staff.

Kentucky Lake shapes the rest. Lake homes and camps are often used part of the year and can sit closed for weeks, and a closed building traps heat and humidity, which changes how much material needs removal when an incident is found late.

Before help arrives

1. If someone is hurt or has died, call 911 first. Inside city limits the New Johnsonville Police Department responds; outside them, the Humphreys 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.
