Biohazard Waste Contamination Cleanup

Biohazard contamination can involve blood, bodily fluids, sharps, sewage and other biological material. Therefore, keep people away from the affected area until someone can assess the conditions safely.

Blood and Bodily Fluid Cleanup

Blood and bodily fluids may spread into flooring, furniture and other porous materials. As a result, trained technicians should inspect the affected area before choosing the correct cleaning and removal process.

Sharps and Needle Removal

Needles, blades and broken glass can cause puncture injuries. Therefore, never handle unknown sharps with bare hands. Instead, secure the area and arrange proper removal.

Trauma and Crime Scene Cleanup

Trauma and crime scenes may involve biological contamination across several surfaces. In addition, fluids can spread beyond the immediately visible area. Therefore, professional cleanup helps control contamination while reducing unnecessary contact.

Decomposition Cleanup

Decomposition can affect flooring, furniture and other building materials. In addition, fluids and odours may travel beyond the original location. As a result, technicians may need to remove affected materials before cleaning and deodorization can begin.

Sewage Contamination Cleanup

Sewage contains biological contamination and requires extra precautions. Therefore, keep children, pets and occupants away from affected areas. Afterward, trained technicians can assess contamination and begin the appropriate cleanup process.

Contaminated Material Removal

Some materials can remain after proper cleaning and disinfection. However, heavily contaminated porous materials may absorb biological material. In these cases, technicians may recommend removal.

Cleaning and Disinfection

First, technicians remove the contamination source and materials that cannot remain. Next, they clean suitable surfaces and apply appropriate disinfection procedures. In addition, they follow product instructions and required contact times.

Biohazard Waste Handling

Certain biomedical wastes require specific containers, labels and disposal procedures. Therefore, technicians should classify the waste before arranging transportation or disposal.

Professional Odour Removal

Source removal should always come before deodorization. Afterward, additional odour treatment may help with smells caused by decomposition, sewage or other biological contamination.
