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. If you don’t have the proper training and equipment, DIY biohazard cleanup can be a risky job. The environment may look clean, but biohazards might still remain deep within upholstery, drywall, and carpeted or hardwood floors. Having your home or business professionally cleaned can protect you 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 regulations. Professional biohazard cleanup services ensure a cleaner, safer environment for you to use.

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 techniques, and compliance with OSHA regulations. It’s important to start removal swiftly because biohazards can expose you to serious diseases such as hepatitis and HIV. Biohazard removal is a detailed process that ensures the property is safe to occupy again. Before getting started, our team gears up in personal protective equipment (PPE) that includes a mask, gloves, and biohazard suit.

A biohazard specialist will assess the contaminated area before the actual cleaning starts. This is to identify the sources of contamination, exposed materials, potential exposure risks, and structural decay. Inspection is essential because it helps our team determine the most appropriate strategy for removing biohazards.

Establishing containment measures comes after the site 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 containment, it’s time for the removal and disposal of contaminated items. 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.

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 to accurately verify that the environment is completely 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.
