Biohazard

4/30/2021 (Permalink)

Simply put, a biohazard is any biological material that poses a risk to human or animal health. Blood is the most common biohazard we come into regular contact with, but other biohazards include mold and fungus spores, human waste, animal infestations, and industrial chemicals. 

While most people think of biohazards as something rare, the fact is they can occur commonly in residential and industrial buildings. In homes, a simple leak can result in the growth of black mold, or a rodent infestation can leave behind droppings that contain pathogens which may become airborne. Hotel and nightlife premises may discover bodily fluids and sharps waste such as used needles. Assisted living facilities can suffer viral outbreaks and require professional cleaning. Crime scenes, traumatic or industrial accidents, medical incidents and more can all leave a property owner or manager with a biohazard cleanup on their hands.
