When OSHA published their standards regarding occupational exposure to blood borne pathogens in 1991, we had already been practicing Universal Precautions in our medical laundry process. Adding biohazard processing was a natural addition to our service options.
OSHA requirements state that contaminated laundry may not be sorted or rinsed at the location where it was used, but must be placed in bags or containers that are leak-resistant and labeled "biohazard".
Sohn Linen will provide you with specially identified fluid resistant bags for your soiled items and our Route Managers will work with your personnel to make sure all contaminated linen is handled in the safest manner possible.
Our Human Resources Manager maintains a strict Biohazard Compliance program to minimize liability to our customers as well as diligently protecting our employees.
