What Are Biohazards?

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. DIY efforts can be risky when you don’t have the proper training and tools. There might be biohazards deep within the surface, even though the environment looks visibly clean. With professional biohazard cleanup, you'll be protected from biohazard risks.

Our cleanup team is trained to effectively remove biohazards from any environment or situation, whether it’s a crime scene, drug lab cleanup, or hoarding problem. We take several steps such as containing the affected area, removing contaminated objects, and cleaning. The proper measures for removing biohazards include protective gear, specialized disinfectants, and compliance with OSHA requirements. Professional biohazard cleanup services do more than just keep your property clean—they keep you safe.

The Biohazard Removal Process

subheading

Biohazard cleanup isn’t like cleaning spilled milk from a counter or removing grease from a stovetop; it’s a complex task that necessitates protective gear and specialized cleaning practices. 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 as soon as possible. Biohazard removal restores the property’s safety and health through a multi-step process. Our team gears up in a mask, gloves, and biohazard suit before getting started.

Before cleaning begins, a trained biohazard professional will perform a detailed walkthrough of the entire contaminated area, following an OSHA-approved process. This is to identify the sources of contamination, exposed materials, potential exposure risks, and structural decay. Inspection is crucial because it helps our crew determine the most appropriate strategy for removing biohazards.

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