Should You Clean Up Biohazards Yourself?

Cleaning biohazards should be handled by a professional. If you don’t have the proper training and equipment, DIY biohazard cleanup can be a risky job. There might be biohazards deep within the surface, even though the environment looks visibly clean. With professional biohazard cleanup, you'll be protected 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. 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.

The Biohazard Removal Process

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 methods, and compliance with OSHA regulations. It’s important to start removal quickly 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.

Before cleaning starts, a trained biohazard professional will perform a detailed walkthrough of the entire contaminated area, following an OSHA-approved process. Sources of contamination, any exposed items, and structural damage will be located. Inspection is crucial because it helps our crew determine the most effective strategy for removing biohazards.

Establishing containment measures comes after the site assessment is done. This includes sealing off areas with plastic sheeting, limiting foot traffic between zones, and creating negative air pressure environments to prevent the spread of airborne particles and contaminants.

After containing the scene, we’ll start removing contaminated items and disposing of them, if necessary. This includes carpets, home decor, furniture, and even waste.

Once contaminated items have been removed or disposed of, we’ll begin cleanup using EPA-grade disinfectants and specialized equipment. We thoroughly disinfect every area, whether it’s a doorknob, dining table, light switch, or other contaminated surface.

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.
