What Counts as a Biohazard? Types, Risks and Job Sizes

Understanding the type and size of a biohazard helps owners know what to expect. Small, contained jobs move fast, while large or hidden contamination takes longer and calls for more removal.

Types of biohazards and their health risks

  • Blood and bodily fluids. Can carry bloodborne pathogens such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV, even after drying.
  • Decomposition. Fluids soak into flooring and subfloor, attract insects and leave a strong death odor.
  • Sharps and medical waste. Needles and soiled materials that must leave as regulated medical waste.
  • Sewage, animal waste and drug residue. Bacteria such as E. coli, hantavirus from rodent droppings, and meth or fentanyl residue.

Job sizes

  • Small: One spot or one surface, such as a blood spill, often done in a few hours.
  • Medium: One room, with carpet, padding or drywall removed.
  • Large: Several rooms, or fluids that reached the subfloor or HVAC.
  • Whole property: Hoarder houses, meth labs or full building decontamination.

First Steps Before Biohazard Cleanup Begins in Athens-Clarke County unified government (balance)

  1. For a suicide crisis, call or text 988, the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, which gives confidential support day or night.
  2. Treat all blood and bodily fluids as infectious. Do not touch, clean or throw anything away.
  3. Plan access for the cleanup crew: a key, a lockbox or a property manager.
  4. In any emergency, 911 comes first. Cleanup can wait until everyone is safe and the scene is released.
  5. Keep fans off and the affected door shut so odor does not drift into other rooms.
  6. Take photos of the damage only if it is safe and allowed, and keep a copy of any police report number.
