Analysis and Consulting

Auditing is an analysis process that allows you to observe whether procedures are being followed correctly, taking into account the company's quality standards and current legislation, among other criteria that may be relevant.

It acts as a strategy to ensure good practices within the company and also suggest improvements. It should be noted that the frequency, responsibility, and criteria to be used in the audit should be defined based on the biological risk area, taking into account the company's needs.

Our audit is based on a consistent methodology, developed to comply with standards related to the area of biological risk, with respect for the principles of professional integrity as our core culture.

Our teams use their knowledge, qualifications, and experience in the field of biological risk to provide a high-quality audit service, using solutions that promote everyone's safety.

For example, in the sanitation of healthcare facilities, hospitals, autopsy rooms, healthcare rooms, operating rooms, ambulances, among other locations.

In the hospital environment, there are recommendations present in hospital accreditation manuals, which follow previously tested and defined standards, with regard to hygiene, where the main objectives are:

• The hospital has a preserved physical structure and adequate materials for cleaning;
  
• There are manuals, standards and routines for carrying out hospital hygiene;
  
• There must be specialized human resources available to carry out sanitation activities.
  

According to the main objectives, the DEATHCLEAN^® can help in the implementation of manuals, standards and routines regarding hospital hygiene, as well as in the integration of human resources with the correct development of space hygiene activities.

It serves to optimize the routines implemented within the company, making the audited activity more productive, in compliance with company standards and Portuguese legislation.

Therefore, the DEATHCLEAN^® In providing audit services, the role of an auditing firm is to monitor all processes to ensure that recommendations, standards, techniques, products, and procedures are appropriate, in accordance with your biological risk certification. Its purpose is to flag nonconformities, identify areas for attention, and suggest improvements.

With periodic inspections, it is easier to identify activities that are being performed incorrectly, understand their impact on the final result, and implement corrective measures.

The diagnosis allows us to identify whether or not a situation presents a biological risk. The biological risk field is often poorly understood, with common sense failing to understand what constitutes a biological risk site, and there being little awareness or detailed information regarding what constitutes a contaminated biological risk site. DEATHCLEAN^®, using its unique certification, can identify these potential contaminated sites, classifying the type of problem, its origin and how it can be solved.

In this process, a specialist technician from DEATHCLEAN^®, examines the site thoroughly and may even ask some pertinent questions to reach a better diagnosis of the space being analyzed. In more specific cases, it may even be necessary to collect samples for testing/analysis to reach a more accurate diagnosis.

During the diagnosis, it is possible to detect whether a location, over time, suffers any worsening in terms of biological risk contamination, as well as the risk conditions it presents, based on measurements relating to indoor air quality, among others.

A diagnosis can be requested whenever there are doubts as to whether the space being consulted could be considered a biological risk, whether we could potentially be facing a situation that poses a danger to public health, or whether there is the presence of biological agents. Examples include:

• Workplaces prone to biological risks;
• Living spaces or other spaces that are extremely dirty or considered unhealthy, with potential risks to human or animal health;
• Spaces likely to suffer from sick building syndrome;
• Presence of odors or poor indoor air quality that affect human health.

The diagnostic phase is the first step toward finding a solution to the problem. Diagnosis allows us to evaluate strategic issues, using technical diagnostic tools that facilitate problem identification.

With the diagnosis, it is possible to know whether the problem is a biological risk, and if so, to identify it, also understanding its origin and recognizing the real needs of the evaluated space, diagnosing the best solution for treating the detected biological risk problem.

THE DEATHCLEAN^® This diagnosis not only identifies the problem and its origin, but also classifies it as mild, moderate, severe, or extreme. After gathering the information, the diagnosis describes the situation within the biological risk category, also outlining appropriate and professional strategies for resolving all identified problems.

It is a process of inspecting a space or equipment that serves to assess whether all the procedures that were carried out were sufficient to eliminate the existing biological risk contamination.

The inspection aims to carefully examine or observe all details, carrying out a careful and thorough analysis, with the aim of highlighting all problems found that pose a risk to safety.

It allows you to assess the condition of the space, detect flaws, and ensure compliance with standards that are crucial to guaranteeing the quality of cleaning and disinfection. This inspection allows you to monitor the quality of the service provided, detecting defects, irregularities, or deviations that affect the safety of the location.

Our inspection is carried out using equipment and methodologies that allow us to measure standards related to the area of biological risk and that are essential to guarantee the effectiveness of the site's decontamination.

Based on the conclusions obtained through this inspection, it may be possible to introduce corrective actions in the space in order to address the deficiencies found.

An inspection is requested in cases where a biohazard problem has been reported and apparently resolved by an entity claiming to be a specialist in resolving biohazard situations. Since microorganisms are invisible, it's easy to assume responsibility by partially resolving the problem (removing only what's visible to the naked eye), providing poor service, and putting the health of others at risk.

This inspection can be carried out in places that were contaminated with biological traces, such as blood, feces, urine or other bodily fluids, whether from a death or not, in situations of insalubrity, extreme dirt or accumulation of organic waste or other problems related to fungi or mold, where there was or still is the presence of biological agents that are harmful to human or animal health.

The vast majority of these are places marked as poorly intervened, where non-specialized cleaning intervention has already taken place and where odors sometimes remain persistent, resulting in poor air quality, thus indicating that the place is not in adequate health conditions, signaling that something is not right and that cleaning and disinfection were not carried out successfully, leaving biological contamination on site.

Its main objective is to verify, evaluate and ensure compliance with the prerequisites to be taken into account for the correct execution of the process of eliminating the detected biological risk contamination.

The survey is carried out by technicians certified in the area of biological risk and using specialized equipment or techniques to certify that the site is healthy and free from any biological risk contamination.

THE DEATHCLEAN^® has the authority to inspect contaminated spaces, a crucial service for mapping potential risks or hazards that could compromise health and safety. Its primary objective is to develop a plan to address all nonconformities detected and reported, culminating in the correct cleaning of existing contamination and the removal of all biological agents and odors present, thus ensuring that the space is safe for third party occupation.
