What Is Considered a Biohazard?

Biohazards are biological substances or materials that can spread disease and threaten humans and other living organisms. A homicide, industrial accident, or a hoarded space are some scenarios where biohazards may be left behind. 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?

Biohazard cleanup is best left to a professional biohazard cleaner. DIY efforts can be risky when you don’t have the proper training and tools. 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.

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. The proper measures for removing biohazards include protective gear, specialized disinfectants, and compliance with OSHA regulations. 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 regulations. To avoid being exposed to serious diseases like HIV and hepatitis, it’s important to start the biohazard removal process promptly. 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 evaluation of the contaminated area. They will locate sources of contamination, any affected materials, potential exposure risks, and structural damage. This will also help us create the most effective strategy for removing biohazards from the area.

We establish the necessary containment procedures after the evaluation is done. 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, biohazard cleaners will remove any contaminated materials from the area. 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.

Once contaminated items have been removed or disposed of, we’ll begin cleanup using EPA-grade disinfectants and specialized tools. We disinfect all contaminated surfaces thoroughly, whether it’s a chair, dining table, or light switch.

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.
