Biohazard cleanup in Hohenwald, Tennessee

Cleanup in Hohenwald: what shapes the work

Hohenwald is about 72 miles from Nashville by highway, or about 60 by the Natchez Trace Parkway, and Lewis County has no hospital of its own. The largest employers are manufacturers: Summertown Metals and several Oliver companies that make fiberglass products, travel trailers and manufactured-housing foundation products.

Because the town is a long way from the city, a clear description over the phone beforehand helps make sure the right materials and equipment arrive on the first visit. Visitors to the Natchez Trace and the Lewis monument also pass through, so motel rooms and vehicles can be part of the work alongside homes and plants.

Before help arrives

1. If someone is hurt or has died, call 911 first. Inside city limits the Hohenwald Police Department responds; outside them, the Lewis County Sheriff's Office.
2. Do not clean anything yet. Wait until the scene is released, and avoid household cleaners on blood or fluids.
3. Close off the area. Shut the door, keep children and pets out, and turn off fans blowing toward the room.
4. Write down the case or report number and the agency name. Your insurer and the property owner may need it.
5. Call us when you are ready. We will explain what is involved before anything is agreed.
