3 Safe Work Australia compliant spill management system ZeoMed provides a complete, quick compliant * response solution for general and body fluid spills. WHAT IS A BODY FLUID SPILL? The most common types of body fluid spills that occur in the workplace, at home or in public domains are vomit, blood, faeces and urine. WHAT ARE THE DANGERS? In many cases, people responsible for these spills are not even aware they have a serious infectious disease. The most serious and widespread concern is exposure to Hepatitis B and C, as well as HIV. Not only are these diseases life threatening, they can be contracted by direct contact with infected blood or body fluids. OdorKlenz is a sulphur neutralising technology which enhances the odour removal capability of the ZeoMed powder, particularly on body fluid spills. WHAT IS THE RESPONSE?
