What Is Considered a Biohazard?

Biohazard cleanup involves the removal and disinfection of materials contaminated with biological waste. These substances are hazardous because they can carry infectious diseases. This type of cleanup is essential after events that leave behind blood, bodily fluids, or other pathogenic substances.

• Blood and Bodily Fluids: This is the most common biohazard after a trauma, accident, or crime scene. These fluids can carry bloodborne pathogens, including HIV and Hepatitis B & C.
• Unattended Death: When a death is undiscovered for a period, natural decomposition creates a complex and hazardous scene that requires specialized remediation and deodorization.
• Sewage Backups: Raw sewage is a major biohazard, containing harmful bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Standard cleaning is not enough to make the area safe.
• Animal Waste: Hoarding situations or animal infestations can result in large accumulations of feces and urine, which pose risks from bacteria and viruses.
• Medical Waste: Improperly disposed of needles, sharps, or laboratory waste also fall into this category and require certified handling.

Attempting to clean these materials without proper training or equipment is extremely dangerous. Professionals are required to follow strict OSHA and CDPHE protocols to ensure the area is fully disinfected and safe for re-occupation.

Why You Must Hire a Certified Professional

Biohazard cleanup is not a janitorial service. It is a regulated industry. Professionals are trained to protect themselves and you from invisible dangers like bloodborne pathogens. Attempting it yourself can lead to severe health consequences for you and your family.

The waste generated from a trauma scene is considered regulated medical waste. It cannot be thrown in the regular trash. Certified firms follow strict CDPHE and OSHA rules for disposal, protecting you from legal liability and fines.

Proper disinfection requires specialized equipment and chemicals. Professionals use techniques to find and neutralize all contamination, even in hidden areas. This ensures the property is truly safe and prevents lingering odors or long-term structural damage.
