Glossary / Biohazard Cleanup

Biohazard Cleanup

Biohazard cleanup is the removal and disposal of material that carries a health risk from blood, bodily fluids, sewage, or other biological contamination. It requires protective equipment, careful containment of the contaminated material, and disposal that follows applicable health and safety rules, since the material can carry disease-causing organisms. This work overlaps with Category 3 water and sewage backup cleanup, since sewage-contaminated water is itself a biohazard.
