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?

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. The environment may look 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 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.

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. To avoid being exposed to serious diseases like HIV and hepatitis, it’s important to start the biohazard removal process as soon as possible. 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 technician will complete an OSHA-compliant assessment of the contaminated area. This is to identify the sources of contamination, exposed materials, potential exposure risks, and structural decay. This will also help us create the most effective strategy for removing biohazards from the scene.

Establishing containment measures comes after the site assessment 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 the spread of airborne particles and contaminants.

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 crew will clean and sanitize the scene using EPA-approved disinfectants and materials. We thoroughly disinfect every area, whether it’s a doorknob, dining table, light switch, or other contaminated surface.

A final verification is necessary to ensure that the scene is free of biohazards. We use adenosine triphosphate (ATP) testing methods, which detect biological substances on surfaces.

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.
