Excellence Built on Expertise
In the world of biohazard remediation, there is no room for shortcuts. When homes, businesses, or public spaces are affected by trauma, contamination, or hazardous materials, the cleanup must be precise, professional, and compliant with strict safety standards.
That’s where 360 Hazardous stands apart. Based in Plainfield, Illinois, 360 Hazardous isn’t just another cleanup company—it’s a team of highly trained, certified professionals who specialize in restoring safety, protecting public health, and supporting people during some of the most difficult moments of their lives.
Our success isn’t built on equipment alone—it’s built on education, certification, and experience. Here’s what sets our team apart and why training and expertise matter more than ever in biohazard remediation.
1. The High Stakes of Biohazard Cleanup
Biohazard cleanup isn’t like ordinary cleaning—it’s a scientific and highly regulated process. Bloodborne pathogens, chemical residues, and other contaminants can spread disease, compromise structural safety, and endanger anyone who enters an uncleaned space.
Because of these risks, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) require that only trained, certified professionals handle biohazardous materials. Failing to comply with these standards can lead to serious health hazards and legal consequences.
At 360 Hazardous, every member of our team undergoes extensive, ongoing training to meet and exceed these federal and state requirements. Our technicians understand the science behind decontamination—how pathogens spread, how to contain them, and how to restore a property to full safety.
2. OSHA-Certified Technicians: Safety from the Ground Up
The foundation of any reputable biohazard cleanup company begins with OSHA compliance. OSHA’s Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030) outlines strict protocols for handling, cleaning, and disposing of potentially infectious materials.
Every 360 Hazardous technician completes OSHA-certified training that covers:
- Bloodborne pathogen awareness and prevention
- Proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
- Decontamination procedures
- Waste disposal regulations
- Hazard communication standards
- Respiratory protection and fit testing
This rigorous preparation ensures that every cleanup is performed safely—for both our technicians and the property owners we serve. We don’t just follow OSHA guidelines—we embody them
3. Certification Beyond the Basics
While OSHA training is essential, 360 Hazardous goes far beyond minimum requirements. Our team holds multiple certifications through nationally recognized industry organizations, including:
- The Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) —
training in biohazard remediation, water damage restoration, odor control, and mold assessment. - Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response
(HAZWOPER) certification — covering hazardous substance handling, chemical safety, and emergency response. - EPA and Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) compliance certifications
— ensuring all decontamination work and waste disposal meet environmental and state health standards. - Respiratory Protection and PPE Certification — ensuring every team member
is trained in proper respirator use, protective gear selection, and contamination prevention.
These certifications aren’t just credentials—they’re proof of commitment to excellence. 360 Hazardous is dedicated to continuous learning and staying current with evolving technologies, regulations, and best practices.
4. Advanced Training for Specialized Situations
No two cleanup situations are the same. That’s why 360 Hazardous invests in specialized training to handle a wide range of unique hazards, including:
Trauma and Crime Scene Cleanup
Our technicians are trained to clean, disinfect, and restore areas affected by trauma or crime scenes while maintaining compassion and confidentiality. This includes handling bloodborne pathogens, personal effects, and sensitive materials.
Unattended Death and Decomposition Cleanup
Decomposition introduces complex biological hazards and strong odors that require scientific precision. Our team understands the microbiological processes at play and uses advanced neutralization and deodorization methods.
Fentanyl and Drug Residue Decontamination
Synthetic opioids like fentanyl are among the most dangerous substances cleanup professionals face—just a few milligrams can be lethal. Our technicians receive specialized training in drug residue detection, PPE requirements, and chemical neutralization to ensure total safety.
Mold and Water Damage Remediation
Mold cleanup requires a detailed understanding of air quality, containment, and building science. 360 Hazardous follows IICRC S520 standards to identify, remove, and prevent future microbial growth.
Hoarding Cleanup and Biohazard Waste Disposal
Hoarding situations often involve hidden dangers like mold, vermin, and biohazardous waste. Our team approaches these jobs with sensitivity, compassion, and detailed planning to ensure complete restoration.
By maintaining expertise in all these areas, 360 Hazardous can respond effectively to nearly any situation—quickly and safely.
5. Technology Meets Training
Training is only effective when paired with the right tools. That’s why 360 Hazardous combines expert knowledge with cutting-edge technology to deliver the best results possible.
Our technicians use:
- HEPA-filtered air scrubbers and vacuums to remove airborne contaminants
- ATP testing to verify surface cleanliness at the microscopic level
- EPA-registered disinfectants proven to kill bloodborne and viral pathogens
- Negative air containment systems to prevent cross-contamination
- Hydroxyl and ozone generators for advanced odor elimination
Each piece of equipment is used according to established scientific protocols—guided by the training and certifications that ensure precision and compliance.
6. The Importance of Continuing Education
The biohazard industry is constantly evolving, with new pathogens, chemicals, and regulations emerging each year. 360 Hazardous technicians participate in ongoing education to stay ahead of industry developments.
Regular refresher courses, safety drills, and certification renewals keep our team current on:
- Updated OSHA and EPA regulations
