What Are Biohazards?

A biohazard is a biological substance that can cause diseases and threaten life. 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?

We strongly discourage removing biohazards on your own. DIY efforts can be risky when you don’t have the proper training and tools. The environment might appear clean, but biohazards might still be present deep within upholstery, drywall, and carpeted or hardwood floors. With professional biohazard cleanup, you'll be protected 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. Safely removing biohazards involves protective gear, advanced tools, and adherence to OSHA standards. Professional biohazard cleanup services do more than just keep your property clean—they keep you safe.

What to Expect During Biohazard Cleanup

subheading

Biohazard cleanup isn’t like cleaning spilled milk from a counter or removing grease from a stovetop; it’s a complex task that necessitates protective gear and specialized cleaning practices. 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 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.

Before our cleaners get to work, a biohazard technician will complete an OSHA-compliant evaluation of the contaminated area. This is to locate the sources of contamination, exposed materials, potential exposure risks, and structural decay. This initial inspection is necessary to determine what equipment, gear, and containment procedures will be most effective in removing biohazards from the scene.

We establish the necessary containment procedures after the evaluation is finished. The methods used include sealing areas with plastic sheets, reducing foot traffic, and creating negative air pressure to stop contaminants from spreading.

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 thoroughly disinfect every area, whether it’s a doorknob, dining table, light switch, or other contaminated surface.

A biohazard cleanup remediation isn’t complete unless a final verification of the scene is done. 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.
