It is the responsibility of the Security Officer (Security) to receive reports of releases in
guest rooms of substances that can cause illness to others. They must be the first to
respond and secure the room where the biohazard event happened. After securing the
area, they need to notify Management, Housekeeping, and/or Custodial Services of the
need for their response. While securing the room and maintaining security during the
clean up, they can record information indicated in the Biohazard Event Log. Security is
also responsible for making contact with any other agencies that may need to respond,
including medical emergency response and the Health Authority, if directed to do so by
Management. They can also assist in making sure that Housekeeping or Custodial staff
DO NOT ENTER the contaminated area too soon or without proper PPE
