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. DIY efforts can be risky when you don’t have the proper training and equipment. There may 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.

From a crime scene to drug lab cleanup, we're trained to thoroughly remove biohazards from any situation. 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 ensure a cleaner, safer environment for you to use.

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 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 immediately. Biohazard removal is a painstaking process that ensures the property is safe to occupy again. Our team gears up in a mask, gloves, and biohazard suit before getting started.

Before our cleaners get to work, a biohazard specialist will complete an OSHA-compliant assessment of the contaminated area. Sources of contamination, any exposed items, and structural damage will be located. This will also help us create the most effective approach for removing biohazards from the scene.

Establishing containment measures comes after the site assessment is completed. 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 crew will clean and sanitize the scene using EPA-approved disinfectants and materials. Whether it’s a doorknob or wall, we sanitize every contaminated surface thoroughly.

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