What Is Considered a Biohazard?

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

Should You Clean Up Biohazards Yourself?

Biohazard cleanup is best left to a professional biohazard cleaner. If you don’t have the proper training and equipment, DIY biohazard cleanup can be a risky job. The environment may appear clean, but biohazards might still remain deep within upholstery, drywall, and carpeted or hardwood floors. Having your home or business professionally cleaned can protect you 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. We take several steps such as containing the affected area, removing contaminated objects, and cleaning. Safely removing biohazards involves protective gear, advanced equipment, and compliance with OSHA standards. Professional biohazard cleanup services do more than just keep your property clean—they keep you safe.

What to Expect During Biohazard Cleanup

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 techniques, and compliance with OSHA standards. To avoid being exposed to serious diseases like HIV and hepatitis, it’s important to start the biohazard removal process promptly. Biohazard removal is a painstaking 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 our cleaners get to work, a biohazard technician will complete an OSHA-compliant assessment of the contaminated area. They will pinpoint sources of contamination, any affected materials, potential exposure risks, and structural damage. This will also help us plan the most effective approach for removing biohazards from the scene.

We establish the necessary containment procedures after the assessment is finished. 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 equipment 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. 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.
