Step 2 of 3

BMRA Code of Ethics & Heirloom Recovery Pledge

Check all five commitments, then sign. Your signed pledge is filed with your verification record and can be printed for your office.

Discreet Service. We will offer unmarked or discreetly marked vehicles on request and will not photograph, post, or discuss any client, property, or scene without written consent. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1030 Compliance. We maintain a written Exposure Control Plan, provide bloodborne pathogens training and appropriate PPE to every exposed worker, and offer the hepatitis B vaccine at no cost. Mold Containment. We follow IICRC S520 principles: containment under negative air pressure, HEPA filtration, physical source removal, and independent post-remediation verification when requested. We never self-clear our own work for a client's test. Written Heirloom Recovery. Before anything is discarded, we search for cash, jewelry, firearms, photographs, and legal or financial documents, log every find on a written chain-of-custody record, and release items only to the authorized party with a signature. Honest Pricing & Disposal. We provide written scopes and estimates before work begins, never inflate scope to exploit grief or distress, and dispose of regulated medical waste only through permitted haulers.

Typing my name above is my electronic signature, and I am authorized to bind this company to the BMRA Code of Ethics.
