The contractor will seal all secondary openings with appropriate materials to prevent bat passage. d. The contractor will remove all bat waste and associated debris using proper PPE and following OSHA guidelines for cleanup procedures. e. The contractor will properly sanitize affected surfaces within the work area to neutralize potential pathogens and odors. f.
