What Is Considered a Biohazard?

Human/Animal Waste

Mucus
Saliva
Medical Waste
Decomposition Fluid
Used Sharps (needles, syringes, lancets)

Can I Remove Biohazards On My Own?

Cleaning biohazards should be handled by a professional. If you don’t have the proper training and tools, DIY biohazard cleanup can be a risky job. 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 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. This process involves several steps: removal of contaminated objects, cleaning, sanitizing, and deodorizing. Safely removing biohazards involves protective gear, advanced equipment, and adherence to OSHA standards. With professional biohazard cleanup services, it’s more than just keeping your environment looking clean—it’s about keeping you, your family, and your employees 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 procedures, and adherence to OSHA standards. It’s important to begin removal swiftly 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. At the scene, our cleanup team protects themselves by gearing up in personal protective equipment (PPE), including a mask, gloves, and biohazard suit.

Before our cleaners get to work, a biohazard specialist will complete an OSHA-compliant assessment 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.

Once the assessment is complete, it’s time to establish the proper containment measures. 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 includes carpets, home decor, furniture, and even waste.

Once contaminated items have been removed or disposed of, we’ll begin cleanup using EPA-grade disinfectants and specialized tools. Whether it’s a doorknob or wall, we sanitize every contaminated surface thoroughly.

A final verification is necessary to ensure that the scene is free of biohazards. We use adenosine triphosphate (ATP) testing methods to accurately verify that the environment is totally 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.
