Biohazard cleanup in Pulaski, Tennessee

Cleanup in Pulaski: what shapes the work

Manufacturing is a large part of the local economy. Frito-Lay, Magneti Marelli, Adient and several automotive-parts and plastics plants are among the area's biggest employers. An incident on a plant floor, in a break room or in a company vehicle is usually coordinated with the site's safety or HR contact. That lets the affected area be closed off while the rest of the operation keeps running.

The university adds residence halls and student rentals to the town's mix. Most of Giles County beyond Pulaski is reached by US 31, US 31A and US 64. In older homes near the square and on rural properties out in the county, details such as original wood floors, crawlspaces or outbuildings can change how a cleanup is planned.

Before help arrives

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

Residential and commercial work

For homes in Pulaski, we work with one point of contact, usually a family member, the owner or the landlord. Personal items in the affected area are kept unless you decide otherwise.

For businesses, rental communities and public facilities, we work through the site or property manager, agree the work area and timing in advance, and provide a written summary for your records.
