What Is Considered a Biohazard?

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. Typical 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?

We strongly discourage removing biohazards on your own. If you don’t have the proper training and equipment, DIY biohazard cleanup can be a risky job. There might be biohazards deep within the surface, even though the environment looks visibly clean. 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. The proper measures for removing biohazards include protective gear, specialized disinfectants, and compliance with OSHA requirements. 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.

How Professional Biohazard Removal Works

subheading

Biohazard cleanup is much more complex than the usual 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 detailed process that ensures the property is safe to occupy again. Our team gears up in a mask, gloves, and biohazard suit before getting started.

Before cleaning begins, a trained biohazard professional will conduct a detailed walkthrough of the entire contaminated area, following an OSHA-approved process. This is to locate the sources of contamination, exposed materials, potential exposure risks, and structural decay. This will also help us create the most effective strategy for removing biohazards from the area.

Once the assessment is done, 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. Items can vary from carpets and wall decor to furniture and waste.

Following removal, our crew will clean and sanitize the scene using EPA-approved disinfectants and materials. We thoroughly disinfect every area, whether it’s a doorknob, dining table, light switch, or other contaminated surface.

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 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.
