What Are Biohazards?

A biohazard is a biological substance that can cause diseases and threaten life. They may be left behind from an event such as an unattended death or hoarding situation. Typical ones include:

Blood

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 tools, DIY biohazard cleanup can be a risky job. The environment might look clean, but biohazards might still remain deep within upholstery, drywall, and carpeted or hardwood floors. With professional biohazard cleanup, you'll be protected from biohazard risks.

Our team professionally removes biohazards from any situation, whether it’s a crime scene or a hoarded house. Effective cleanup requires multiple steps such as isolating the affected area, removing contaminated objects, and sanitizing surfaces. We use protective gear, advanced tools, and comply with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations to ensure that all biohazards are safely removed from your home or business. Professional biohazard cleanup services ensure a cleaner, safer environment for you to use.

How Professional Biohazard Removal Works

subheading

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 compliance with OSHA standards. To avoid being exposed to serious diseases like HIV and hepatitis, it’s important to start the biohazard removal process promptly. 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 our cleaners get to work, a biohazard specialist will complete an OSHA-compliant assessment of the contaminated area. This is to pinpoint the sources of contamination, exposed materials, potential exposure risks, and structural decay. This will also help us create the most effective approach for removing biohazards from the area.

Once the assessment is finished, 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, biohazard cleaners will remove any contaminated materials from the area. Items can vary from carpets and wall decor to furniture and waste.

Following removal, our team will clean and sanitize the scene using EPA-approved disinfectants and materials. We disinfect all contaminated surfaces thoroughly, whether it’s a chair, dining table, or light switch.

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.
