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 tools. There may be biohazards deep within the surface, even though the environment looks visibly clean. 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. This process involves several steps: removal of contaminated objects, cleaning, sanitizing, and deodorizing. We use protective gear, advanced equipment, and comply with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations to ensure that all biohazards are safely removed from your home or business. 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 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 step-by-step process designed with health and safety in mind. Our team gears up in a mask, gloves, and biohazard suit before getting started.

Before our cleaners get to work, a biohazard technician will complete an OSHA-compliant assessment of the contaminated area. This is to pinpoint the sources of contamination, exposed materials, potential exposure risks, and structural decay. This will also help us create the most effective strategy for removing biohazards from the scene.

We establish the necessary containment procedures after the assessment is complete. 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. 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 tools. We disinfect all contaminated surfaces thoroughly, whether it’s a chair, dining table, or light switch.

A biohazard cleanup remediation isn’t complete unless a final verification of the scene is done. 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.
