History
editThe company was founded in 2003 by Jerry Turner, a former police officer and insurance agent, whose experience working with trauma survivors and crime victims inspired him to open a business specializing in the restoration of crime scenes and unattended death scenes. The business opened with an office in Murrayville, Georgia serving primarily the Atlanta metropolitan area. The business has expanded to serve 28 states throughout the US.
Types of cleanup
editAdvanced Bio-Treatment's primary scope of work[1] is responding to situations in which the presence of biohazards such as blood or infectious disease requires specific training and experience. These situations frequently include crime scene cleanup following a burglary, battery, or homicide, unattended death scenes and suicide, infectious disease contamination from Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and others, as well as trauma scenes.
Training and certification
editHandling biohazardous material is dangerous and presents a potential danger to the community and the environment. Company technicians are required to attend regular periodic training including certification in OSHA standards[2] and applicable EPA and state Department of Health guidelines. The company maintains certification by IICRC[3] a certifying body for the cleaning trade.
