The word biohazard covers blood, tissue, decomposition, sharps, waste and some residues. Each carries different health risks, and each calls for its own cleaning and disposal approach.
Regular cleaning removes dirt. Biohazard cleanup removes infectious material and reaches under and behind surfaces, using PPE, containment, EPA-registered disinfectants and regulated waste disposal. It follows safety rules that ordinary cleaning does not.
Funeral homes and the authorities remove the person. Biohazard cleaners, also called crime scene cleaners or trauma cleanup crews, clean the property afterwards, including fluids, affected materials and odor.
Biohazard cleanup is the removal, cleaning and disinfection of anything that can spread disease: blood, bodily fluids, tissue, decomposition, human and animal waste, raw sewage, sharps and drug residue. It covers crime scene cleanup, unattended death cleanup, trauma scene cleanup, suicide cleanup, hoarding cleanup and infectious disease disinfection.
Safe cleaning means PPE, containment, removal of porous materials, cleaning, EPA-registered disinfectant for the full contact time, and sealed disposal of the waste. A small household spill is a different matter than a death or crime scene, and anything larger than a few drops should be left to a crew.
Usually the property owner's insurance pays first. After a violent crime, the Texas Crime Victims' Compensation Program, run by the Office of the Attorney General, can pay up to $2,250 for crime scene cleanup. Otherwise the owner, landlord or estate pays.
