What Are Biohazards?

Biological substances that can spread disease and threaten life are known as biohazards. A homicide, industrial accident, or a hoarded space are some scenarios where biohazards may be left behind. 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?

Cleaning biohazards should be handled by a professional. DIY efforts can be risky when you don’t have the proper training and equipment. There may be biohazards deep within the surface, even though the environment looks visibly clean. The threat to health and safety makes it essential to have your biohazardous environment professionally decontaminated.

From a crime scene to drug lab cleanup, we're trained to thoroughly remove biohazards from any situation. 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 regulations. Professional biohazard cleanup services do more than just keep your property clean—they keep you safe.

How Professional Biohazard Removal Works

subheading

Biohazard cleanup is much more complex than the typical cleaning job because it requires using specialized gear, equipment, and procedures. It’s important to begin removal quickly because biohazards can expose you to serious diseases such as hepatitis and HIV. 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 cleaning starts, a trained biohazard professional will perform a detailed walkthrough of the entire contaminated area, following an OSHA-approved process. Sources of contamination, any exposed items, and structural damage will be pinpointed. This will also help us plan the most effective approach for removing biohazards from the scene.

Once the assessment is complete, it’s time to establish the proper containment measures. 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.

Once contaminated items have been removed or disposed of, we’ll begin cleanup using EPA-grade disinfectants and specialized equipment. 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.
