SERVPRO of West Topeka has always been a leader in the biohazard cleanup industry. From animal feces to crime scene cleanup we have handled it all. So when the COVID-19 pandemic hit we felt prepared to handle cleanup of exposures to the virus with effectiveness and efficiency. SERVPRO always follows proper cleanup protocol including wearing PPE. PPE stands for personal protective equipment, and while most people outside our industry had never heard of it before COVID-19, there are plenty of questions about it now. Below you will find some important reasons why our highly trained employees wear PPE on job sites.
