Biohazard Cleaning and Removal

Biohazard cleaning and chemical biohazard cleaning are extremely skilled and complex tasks. Whatever the nature of the biohazard, specialist cleaners should be called in to conduct biohazard cleaning. They will not only restore the scene to its pre-incident condition, but also ensure that the area is not left in a state that could be harmful to human health, and are experienced with liaising with the authorities as required.

What are typical Biohazards?

Essentially, a biohazard is anything that has the potential to threaten life or health. The term Biohazard covers a huge range of incidents, includes chemical incidents, spillages and needle, blood or faeces contact and clean up. Although this list is not exhaustive, the most common biohazard cleaning examples are probably: the cleaning up of a suicide scene or following an unexpected death (often referred to as Trauma Scene Cleaning) , the removal of dead animals, the cleaning of blood or other bodily fluids as a result of an accident, and the cleaning of needles and sharps from areas subject to drug abuse.

How does Biohazard Cleaning Work?

Biohazard cleaning or biohazard removal are processes that should never be attempted by those who do not have formal training, as it can be a potentially dangerous job. A professional company will be able to:

use specialist chemicals and other agents to ensure that an area is completely decontaminated and safe for future public, domestic or commercial use
dispose of sharp objects, syringes and contaminated waste in a safe and legal way.
advise on how to prevent the situation happening again.
Why use a Cleaning Company for Biohazard Cleaning?

By far the biggest advantage of using a specialist cleaner is that the job is guaranteed to be done properly and that there is no risk to workers who may be in the contaminated areas, making the area safe to use again in the quickest possible time. This also means staff won’t need to get involved in handling potentially harmful cleaning processes and decontaminating chemicals themselves. Specialist biohazard cleaning teams are trained to deal with this aspect of the job efficiently and effectively.

There are plenty of "pros" to using specialist cleaning contractors for biohazards, when it comes to the cons, the only real one is the cost – but what price can be put on the safety of employees or members of the public which is a legal requirement? As with all out-sourcing, prices can differ from company to company, so it is well worth researching the track record, experience and fees charged by the different biohazard cleaning companies operating in this area before hiring.
