What Are Biohazards?

Biohazards are biological substances or materials that can spread disease and threaten humans and other living organisms. They may be left behind from an event such as an unattended death or hoarding situation. Common ones include:

Blood
Urine
Vomit
Human/Animal Waste

Mucus
Saliva
Medical Waste
Decomposition Fluid
Used Sharps (needles, syringes, lancets)

Should You Clean Up Biohazards Yourself?

Cleaning biohazards should be handled by a professional. If you don’t have the proper training and equipment, DIY biohazard cleanup can be a risky job. The environment may appear clean, but biohazards might still remain deep within upholstery, drywall, and carpeted or hardwood floors. The threat to health and safety makes it essential to have your biohazardous environment professionally decontaminated.

Our team professionally removes biohazards from any situation, whether it’s a crime scene or a hoarded house. We take several steps such as containing the affected area, removing contaminated objects, and cleaning. Safely removing biohazards involves protective gear, advanced tools, and adherence to OSHA standards. With professional biohazard cleanup services, it’s more than just keeping your environment looking clean—it’s about keeping you, your family, and your employees safe.

What to Expect During Biohazard Cleanup

subheading

Unlike wiping spilled milk off the counter or removing grease from a stovetop, biohazard cleanup is a complex task that requires protective equipment, specialized cleaning techniques, and adherence to OSHA requirements. To avoid being exposed to serious diseases like HIV and hepatitis, it’s important to start the biohazard removal process promptly. Biohazard removal restores the property’s safety and health through a multi-step process. At the scene, our cleanup team protects themselves by gearing up in personal protective equipment (PPE), including a mask, gloves, and biohazard suit.

Before cleaning begins, a trained biohazard professional will perform a detailed walkthrough of the entire contaminated area, following an OSHA-approved process. This is to identify the sources of contamination, exposed materials, potential exposure risks, and structural decay. Inspection is essential because it helps our team determine the most effective strategy for removing biohazards.

Establishing containment measures comes after the site evaluation is finished. The methods used include sealing areas with plastic sheets, minimizing foot traffic, and creating negative air pressure to prevent contaminants from spreading.

After containing the scene, biohazard cleaners will remove any contaminated materials from the area. This can include anything from carpets, home decor, and furniture to waste such as bandages, plastic bottles, napkins, and anything else that may have been exposed to biohazardous materials.

Following removal, our crew will clean and sanitize the scene using EPA-approved disinfectants and materials. Whether it’s a doorknob or wall, we sanitize every contaminated surface thoroughly.

A biohazard cleanup remediation isn’t complete unless a final verification of the scene is done. We use adenosine triphosphate (ATP) testing methods, which detect biological substances on surfaces.

What Are Biohazards?

Biohazard is the common abbreviation for biological hazard—potentially dangerous biological substances that pose a threat to humans and other animals. The most common biohazards are bacteria, viruses, and toxins. These are classified into four categories, from least to most dangerous.

BSL-1: Non-infectious bacteria, minor bacteria, and viruses that pose little danger.
BSL-2: Viruses and bacteria that can cause mild disease but are difficult to contract.
BSL-3: Bacteria and viruses that can be fatal but are easily managed with vaccines and other treatments.
BSL-4: Viruses and bacteria that can cause fatal diseases and for which there is no vaccine or other treatment.

According to Boston University, biohazardous waste poses a substantial hazard to human health or the environment when improperly treated, stored, transported, or disposed of. Professionally trained teams of technicians are required to combat the dangers of biohazards and ensure the safety of all parties involved.
