What Is Considered a Biohazard?

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 equipment. There may be biohazards deep within the surface, even though the environment looks visibly clean. With professional biohazard cleanup, you'll be protected from biohazard risks.

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. We use protective gear, advanced tools, and comply with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations to ensure that all biohazards are safely removed from your home or business. Professional biohazard cleanup services do more than just keep your property clean—they keep you safe.

The Biohazard Removal Process

subheading

Biohazard cleanup is much more complex than the usual cleaning job because it requires using specialized gear, equipment, and procedures. It’s important to begin removal quickly because biohazards can expose you to serious diseases such as hepatitis and HIV. Biohazard removal restores the property’s safety and health through a multi-step process. Before getting started, our team gears up in personal protective equipment (PPE) that includes a mask, gloves, and biohazard suit.

Before our cleaners get to work, a biohazard specialist will complete an OSHA-compliant assessment of the contaminated area. Sources of contamination, any exposed items, and structural damage will be pinpointed. This initial inspection is necessary to determine what equipment, gear, and containment procedures will be most effective in removing biohazards from the scene.

Once the assessment is complete, it’s time to establish the proper containment measures. This includes sealing off areas with plastic sheeting, limiting foot traffic between zones, and creating negative air pressure environments to prevent the spread of airborne particles and contaminants.

After containing the scene, we’ll start removing contaminated items and disposing of them, if necessary. 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 tools to clean and sanitize the scene. Whether it’s a doorknob or wall, we sanitize every contaminated surface thoroughly.

To ensure the scene’s cleanliness, we must complete a final verification. We use adenosine triphosphate (ATP) testing methods to accurately verify that the environment is totally 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.
