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. Some examples 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 efforts can be risky when you don’t have the proper training and equipment. Even if the environment looks visibly clean, toxic biohazards may still linger deep beneath the surface, whether they’ve seeped into furniture, drywall, or carpeted floors. With professional biohazard cleanup, you'll be protected 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. Effective cleanup requires multiple steps such as isolating the affected area, removing contaminated objects, and sanitizing surfaces. The proper measures for removing biohazards include protective gear, specialized disinfectants, and compliance with OSHA standards. Professional biohazard cleanup services do more than just keep your property clean—they keep you safe.

How Professional Biohazard Removal Works

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 standards. It’s important to start removal quickly because biohazards can expose you to serious diseases such as hepatitis and HIV. Biohazard removal is a meticulous process that ensures the property is safe to occupy again. 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. They will identify sources of contamination, any affected materials, potential exposure risks, and structural damage. Inspection is essential because it helps our crew determine the most effective strategy for removing biohazards.

Establishing containment measures comes after the site evaluation is completed. We contain the area using several methods: creating barriers with plastic sheeting, limiting foot traffic between zones, and creating negative air pressure to prevent airborne particles and contaminants from spreading.

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 team 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. 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.
