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)

Can I Remove Biohazards On My Own?

We strongly discourage removing biohazards on your own. If you don’t have the proper training and equipment, DIY biohazard cleanup can be a risky job. There might 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.

Our team professionally removes biohazards from any situation, whether it’s a crime scene or a hoarded house. We take several steps such as containing the affected area, removing contaminated objects, and cleaning. We use protective gear, advanced equipment, and comply with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations to ensure that all biohazards are safely removed from your home or business. 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

Biohazard cleanup isn’t like cleaning spilled milk from a counter or removing grease from a stovetop; it’s a complex task that requires protective gear and specialized cleaning procedures. Prolonged exposure to biohazards puts you at risk of diseases such as hepatitis, HIV, and airborne contaminants, making it important to start the biohazard removal process immediately. Biohazard removal is a meticulous process that ensures the property is safe to occupy again. Before getting started, our team gears up in personal protective equipment (PPE) that includes 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 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 finished, 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 containment, it’s time for the removal and disposal of contaminated items. 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 equipment. We thoroughly disinfect every area, whether it’s a doorknob, dining table, light switch, or other contaminated surface.

To ensure the scene’s cleanliness, we must complete a final verification. 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.
