Human/Animal Waste

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

Can I Remove Biohazards On My Own?

Cleaning biohazards should be handled by a professional. DIY biohazard cleanup is a risky job if you don’t have the right gear, tools, and safety knowledge. Even if the environment looks visibly clean, harmful biohazards might still linger deep beneath the surface, whether they’ve seeped into furniture, drywall, or carpeted floors. The threat to health and safety makes it crucial to have your biohazardous environment professionally decontaminated.

From a crime scene to drug lab cleanup, we're trained to thoroughly remove biohazards from any situation. 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. 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.

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 requirements. It’s important to start removal quickly because biohazards can expose you to serious diseases such as hepatitis and HIV. 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 conduct 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. This will also help us create the most effective approach for removing biohazards from the area.

Establishing containment measures comes after the site assessment is done. The methods used include sealing areas with plastic sheets, reducing foot traffic, and creating negative air pressure to prevent 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.

Once contaminated items have been removed or disposed of, we’ll begin cleanup using EPA-grade disinfectants and specialized equipment. Whether it’s a doorknob or wall, we sanitize every contaminated surface thoroughly.

A biohazard cleanup remediation isn’t complete unless a final verification of the scene is done. We use adenosine triphosphate (ATP) testing methods to accurately verify that the environment is totally clean and safe to occupy.

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.
