Biohazards - What You Need to Know

2/25/2022 (Permalink)

Biohazards are any substance or object capable of harming the health of living organisms.  The job of a biohazard cleaner is to completely clean, sanitize and deodorize the site where a violent crime, suicide or traumatic accident has occurred.

Unless you live near factories that produce biohazards, one way you can encounter them are through crime scenes. You can also find these in crime scene cleaning like in suicide cleanup and crime scene cleanup. This is because human substances like blood are biohazards when found lying around the exposed environment.  Biohazards could become a threat to your health. That is why you should call for a professional crime scene clean up service if you have these in your place of residence or business.  Two recent shootings in our county are – unfortunately - examples of crime scenes with biohazards. More biohazard examples include the following:

• Exposed human, animal, and insect wastes
• Industrial accidents with body fluids
• Decaying dead body of a living organism
• Homicide or suicide incident places
• Dangerous Disease Outbreak
• Large scale disasters or warfare with numerous dead bodies
• Sewage spills and leaks (might contain biological wastes)

 These are only general examples of the long list of biohazards.  When you encounter any of these incidents near you, contact a professional crime scene or suicide clean-up specialist.  You shouldn’t wait long before looking for experts to clean them because they can become more harmful as time passes.  The best biohazard cleaning specialists are right here in Sussex County at SERVPRO.
