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?

Biohazard cleanup is best left to a professional biohazard cleaner. DIY biohazard cleanup is a risky job if you don’t have the right gear, equipment, and safety knowledge. The environment might look clean, but biohazards might still be present deep within upholstery, drywall, and carpeted or hardwood floors. Having your home or business professionally cleaned can protect you from biohazard risks.

From a crime scene to drug lab cleanup, we're trained to thoroughly remove biohazards from any situation. We take several steps such as containing the affected area, removing contaminated objects, and cleaning. We use protective gear, advanced equipment, and comply with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations to ensure that all biohazards are safely removed from your home or workplace. Professional biohazard cleanup services do more than just keep your property clean—they keep you safe.

What to Expect During Biohazard Cleanup

Biohazard cleanup is much more complex than the typical cleaning job because it requires using specialized gear, equipment, and procedures. 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. Our team gears up in a mask, gloves, and biohazard suit before getting started.

A biohazard specialist will evaluate the contaminated area before the actual cleaning starts. Sources of contamination, any exposed items, and structural damage will be identified. Inspection is crucial because it helps our crew determine the most appropriate strategy for removing biohazards.

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

After containment, it’s time for the removal and disposal of contaminated items. 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 scene. Whether it’s a doorknob or wall, we sanitize every contaminated surface thoroughly.

A final verification is necessary to ensure that the scene is free of biohazards. 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.
