Health and safety

We aim to create a safe environment for all parties at all times. In order to do this, it’s important to create a plan of action prior to beginning any physical work. Our technicians will complete a thorough risk assessment to identify any potential hazards in or around the vehicle. From this, we can make sure that the correct measures are in place to guarantee maximum safety for both our technicians and our customers.

Our technicians will use electrostatic sprayers to effectively tackle even the most difficult areas to reach. The electrostatic sprayers work by releasing positive atoms into the atmosphere which attach themselves to negatively charged particles on the affected surfaces. All chemicals used are non-toxic and non-abrasive, meaning no further harm will come to the health of the parties involved or the vehicle itself.

Upon completion, you’ll be given a certificate which will serve as your guarantee. This certificate will include a full documentation of the work that has been done and the health and safety precautions taken.

Dangers of a contaminated vehicle

Those operating service vehicles, such as ambulances, are subject to a high risk of developing health complications. Due to the nature of the job, ambulance drivers and medical workers may be exposed to a range of biohazards – such as blood or other bodily fluids.

The individuals involved may be able to wear gloves or other forms of personal protective equipment (PPE) to prevent direct contact with such contaminants, however, there is nothing preventing bodily fluids from infecting surrounding objects or surfaces within the back of the vehicle. For example, blood may drip from a patient’s wound onto the floor of the vehicle.

If ambulance drivers, etc., come into contact with a patient’s open wounds or the surfaces affected, they may be exposed to bloodborne viruses (BBVs) such as HIV or Hepatitis. Though some viruses may pose a lesser threat to your health, many bloodborne viruses have long-term consequences – including fatality. To limit the risk, it’s crucial to employ a professional cleaning company to carry out a deep clean of the contaminated areas.

The average Brit spends an average of 9 hours in their car each week, which is considerably less than that of ambulance drivers or other emergency services. Regardless, there are a variety of health concerns to be aware of.

According to a recent study by Ageas, the average car accommodates over 3,826 units of bacteria per square inch – which is 19 times more than a typical toilet seat. In most cases, your boot of the car has the biggest build-up of germs, with 4 times more bacteria than public lift buttons. The steering wheel and seat belts also have high levels of bacteria, and are prone to forms of bacteria which cause skin rashes, respiratory issues and food poisoning.

Overlooking the issue will only allow microbials to spread to other parts of your car, which will put you and your passengers at risk. Many of the patients collected by the emergency services will already have underlying health conditions, such as respiratory issues, which may be aggravated by exposure to contaminated bodily fluids, putting more pressure on the industry to ensure a safe environment for all.
