The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), has clear guidelines for workers performing these services.  The individuals involved in the decontamination of viruses which cause infectious diseases must obtain the proper training in the HAZWOPER guidelines to perform services under emergency circumstances.  These guidelines address Chemical, Biological, Radiation, Nuclear, and explosive clean up and decontamination services.  Failure to follow these guidelines is strict and could result in fines of $13,500 per person on-site for first-time violations as well as the risk of imprisonment.
