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

Can I Remove Biohazards On My Own?

Biohazard cleanup is best left to a professional biohazard cleaner. DIY biohazard cleanup is a risky job if you don’t have the right gear, tools, and safety knowledge. The environment might appear clean, but biohazards might still be present deep within upholstery, drywall, and carpeted or hardwood floors. The threat to health and safety makes it crucial to have your biohazardous environment professionally decontaminated.

Our team professionally removes biohazards from any situation, whether it’s a crime scene or a hoarded house. This process involves several steps: removal of contaminated objects, cleaning, sanitizing, and deodorizing. Safely removing biohazards involves protective gear, advanced tools, and adherence to OSHA standards. Professional biohazard cleanup services ensure a cleaner, safer environment for you to use.

The Biohazard Removal Process

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 methods, and adherence to OSHA requirements. It’s important to begin removal swiftly because biohazards can expose you to serious diseases such as hepatitis and HIV. Biohazard removal is a meticulous process that ensures the property is safe to occupy again. At the scene, our cleanup team protects themselves by gearing up in personal protective equipment (PPE), including a mask, gloves, and biohazard suit.

A biohazard specialist will assess the contaminated area before the actual cleaning starts. 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.

Establishing containment measures comes after the site evaluation 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.

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.
