What Are Biohazards?

A biohazard is a biological substance that can cause diseases and threaten life. They are usually found after events such as an unattended death, hoarding situation, or industrial accident. Common ones 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?

Biohazard cleanup is best left to a professional biohazard cleaner. 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. 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. This process involves several steps: removal of contaminated objects, cleaning, sanitizing, and deodorizing. 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 workplace. 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 is much more complex than the usual 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 is a step-by-step process designed with health and safety in mind. Before getting started, our team gears up in personal protective equipment (PPE) that includes a mask, gloves, and biohazard suit.

A biohazard technician will assess the contaminated area before the actual cleaning starts. This is to pinpoint the sources of contamination, exposed materials, potential exposure risks, and structural decay. This will also help us plan the most effective approach for removing biohazards from the scene.

We establish the necessary containment procedures after the assessment is done. 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 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.

We use EPA-approved disinfectants and specialized equipment to clean and sanitize the scene. We thoroughly disinfect every area, whether it’s a doorknob, dining table, light switch, or other contaminated surface.

A biohazard cleanup remediation isn’t complete unless a final verification of the scene is done. 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.
