Human/Animal Waste

Mucus
Saliva
Medical Waste
Decomposition Fluid
Used Sharps (needles, syringes, lancets)

Should You Clean Up Biohazards Yourself?

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. There might be biohazards deep within the surface, even though the environment looks visibly clean. Having your home or business professionally cleaned can protect you from biohazard risks.

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. The proper measures for removing biohazards include protective gear, specialized disinfectants, and compliance with OSHA regulations. 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 requires protective gear and specialized cleaning 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. At the scene, our cleanup team protects themselves by gearing up in personal protective equipment (PPE), including a mask, gloves, and biohazard suit.

Before cleaning starts, a trained biohazard professional will perform a detailed walkthrough of the entire contaminated area, following an OSHA-approved process. They will pinpoint sources of contamination, any affected materials, potential exposure risks, and structural damage. 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 evaluation 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 the spread of airborne particles and contaminants.

After containing the scene, biohazard cleaners will remove any contaminated materials from the area. This includes carpets, home decor, furniture, and even waste.

We use EPA-approved disinfectants and specialized equipment to clean and sanitize the area. Whether it’s a doorknob or wall, we sanitize every contaminated surface thoroughly.

A final verification is necessary to ensure that the scene is free of biohazards. 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.
