What Are Biohazards?

Biological substances that can spread disease and threaten life are known as biohazards. 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?

Biohazard cleanup is best left to a professional biohazard cleaner. DIY efforts can be risky when you don’t have the proper training and tools. Even if the environment looks visibly clean, harmful biohazards may still linger deep beneath the surface, whether they’ve seeped into furniture, drywall, or carpeted floors. With professional biohazard cleanup, you'll be protected from biohazard risks.

Our cleanup team is trained to properly remove biohazards from any environment or situation, whether it’s a crime scene, drug lab cleanup, or hoarding problem. Effective cleanup requires multiple steps such as isolating the affected area, removing contaminated objects, and sanitizing surfaces. The proper measures for removing biohazards include protective gear, specialized disinfectants, and compliance with OSHA regulations. Professional biohazard cleanup services ensure a cleaner, safer environment for you to use.

What to Expect During Biohazard Cleanup

subheading

Biohazard cleanup is much more complex than the typical cleaning job because it requires using specialized gear, equipment, and procedures. Prolonged exposure to biohazards puts you at risk of diseases such as hepatitis, HIV, and airborne contaminants, making it important to start the biohazard removal process as soon as possible. Biohazard removal is a step-by-step process designed with health and safety in mind. 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 starts, a trained biohazard professional will perform a detailed walkthrough of the entire contaminated area, following an OSHA-approved process. Sources of contamination, any exposed items, and structural damage will be located. This will also help us plan the most effective strategy for removing biohazards from the area.

Once the assessment is complete, it’s time to establish the proper containment measures. The methods used include sealing areas with plastic sheets, reducing 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.

We use EPA-approved disinfectants and specialized equipment to clean and sanitize the area. We thoroughly disinfect every area, whether it’s a doorknob, dining table, light switch, or other contaminated surface.

A biohazard cleanup remediation isn’t complete unless a final verification of the scene is done. We use adenosine triphosphate (ATP) testing methods to accurately verify that the environment is completely clean and safe to occupy.

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.
