What Are Biohazards?

Biohazards are biological substances or materials that can spread disease and threaten humans and other living organisms. They are usually found after events such as an unattended death, hoarding situation, or industrial accident. Common ones include:

  • Blood
  • Urine
  • Vomit
  • Human/Animal Waste
  • Mucus
  • Saliva
  • Medical Waste
  • Decomposition Fluid
  • Used Sharps (needles, syringes, lancets)

Can I Remove Biohazards On My Own?

We strongly discourage removing biohazards on your own. DIY efforts can be risky when you don’t have the proper training and equipment. Even if the environment looks visibly clean, harmful biohazards may still remain beneath the surface, whether they’ve seeped into furniture, drywall, or carpeted floors. Having your home or business professionally cleaned can protect you from biohazard risks.

Our cleanup team is trained to effectively remove biohazards from any environment or situation, whether it’s a crime scene, drug lab cleanup, or hoarding problem. We take several steps such as containing the affected area, removing contaminated objects, and cleaning. The proper measures for removing biohazards include protective gear, specialized disinfectants, and compliance with OSHA requirements. Professional biohazard cleanup services do more than just keep your property clean—they keep you safe.

The Biohazard Removal Process

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 procedures, and compliance with OSHA requirements. To avoid being exposed to serious diseases like HIV and hepatitis, it’s important to start the biohazard removal process as soon as possible. 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 cleaning starts, a trained biohazard professional will conduct a detailed walkthrough of the entire contaminated area, following an OSHA-approved process. They will pinpoint sources of contamination, any affected materials, potential exposure risks, and structural damage. This will also help us plan the most effective strategy for removing biohazards from the scene.

Once the assessment is complete, it’s time to establish the proper containment measures. We contain the area using several methods: creating barriers with plastic sheeting, limiting foot traffic between zones, and creating negative air pressure to prevent the spread of airborne particles and contaminants.

After containing the scene, biohazard cleaners will remove any contaminated materials from the area. This includes carpets, home decor, furniture, and even waste.

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. To measure the scene’s cleanliness, we use adenosine triphosphate (ATP) testing methods that detect remaining biological substances.

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.
