ABRA Experience

The ABRA Experience means confidence, professionalism, and peace of mind during some of life’s most difficult moments. When you hire an American Bio Recovery Association (ABRA) member company, you are choosing a firm that has committed to higher standards, specialized training, and ethical responsibility in the bio-recovery industry. ABRA members invest in advanced education, adhere to industry best practices such as the IICRC S540 Standard for Trauma and Crime Scene Cleanup and the S900 Standard for Illicit Drug Remediation, prioritizing worker safety, discretion, and compassion while restoring affected environments to safe and habitable conditions.

Beyond technical expertise, the ABRA Experience delivers accountability and trust. ABRA member companies and certified technicians participate in third-party certification, peer review, and continuing education, setting them apart from unverified or untrained providers. Clients benefit from proper documentation, regulatory awareness, and compliance with applicable health, safety, and waste-handling requirements. Whether responding to a trauma scene, infectious disease event, or biohazard contamination, an ABRA company brings not only the right equipment and knowledge—but the integrity and professionalism the situation demands.

The ABRA Difference
