The Serious Nature of Biohazardous Materials

Biohazards aren't just unpleasant—they're dangerous. These materials contain infectious agents that pose significant health risks to you, your family, and your pets.

What Qualifies as a Biohazard?

Biohazards include “infectious agents presenting a risk of death, injury, or illness to employees,” according to OSHA standards. Common biohazardous materials include:

  • Blood and bodily fluids: Can contain bloodborne pathogens like Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, and HIV
  • Human or animal remains: Decomposition creates serious health hazards
  • Medical waste: Including used sharps, lab cultures, and other infectious materials
  • Sewage backups: Contain harmful bacteria and viruses that can cause serious illness
  • Chemical spills: May include toxic substances that require specialized cleanup
  • Drug lab residue: Chemicals used in illegal drug production can be extremely hazardous

Attempting DIY cleanup without proper equipment and protection puts you at risk for serious health conditions. That’s why Allied’s professional biohazard technicians are thoroughly trained in safe, comprehensive remediation practices.

Our Comprehensive Biohazard Cleanup Process

Allied follows a meticulous, OSHA-compliant process to ensure complete remediation of biohazardous materials in your Sioux City property.

Step 1: Professional Assessment and Safety Protocols

Our certified technicians begin by assessing the severity of the biohazard situation, identifying hazards, and implementing safety measures:

  • Securing the affected area from unauthorized entry using appropriate signage and barriers
  • Turning off electrical sources if water or other liquids have reached electrical components
  • Establishing isolation zones for proper donning and removal of personal protective equipment
  • Categorizing the biohazard according to industry standards and regulations

Step 2: Biohazardous Material Removal and Containment

Using professional-grade equipment, we:

  • Remove and contain all visible biohazardous materials
  • Extract contaminated liquids with industrial-grade pumps and vacuums
  • Safely contain and properly dispose of solid waste following local Sioux City regulations
  • Document the removal process for insurance purposes

Step 3: Removal of Contaminated Materials

Some materials cannot be effectively sanitized after biohazard exposure:

  • Porous materials like carpeting, padding, and upholstery are typically removed and replaced
  • Drywall and insulation affected by biohazards are cut out at least 12 inches above the contamination line
  • Personal items are assessed for salvageability based on porosity and contamination level
  • All contaminated materials are disposed of according to Sioux City waste management guidelines and federal regulations

Step 4: Advanced Structural Cleaning and Sanitization

After removal of biohazardous materials:

  • Industrial air scrubbers with HEPA filtration remove airborne contaminants
  • Every surface is cleaned and disinfected with hospital-grade, EPA-registered disinfectants
  • ULV foggers are used to disperse disinfectants into even the smallest spaces
  • ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) testing verifies surface cleanliness at a microscopic level

Professional Sanitization and Decontamination Procedures

Proper sanitization is critical after biohazard exposure to eliminate harmful pathogens and prevent future health risks.

Hospital-Grade Disinfection Methods

Our technicians use EPA-registered, hospital-grade disinfectants specifically designed for biohazard remediation:

  • Application of antimicrobial treatments to all affected surfaces
  • Thorough cleaning of walls, hard-surfaced floors, and other household surfaces with specialized cleaners
  • Disinfection with professional-strength solutions that eliminate 99.99% of bacteria and viruses
  • Multiple application protocols to ensure complete sanitization

Industry-Leading Equipment and Technologies

Allied employs advanced technologies for thorough decontamination:

  • ULV (Ultra Low Volume) foggers that disperse disinfectants into even the smallest spaces
  • HEPA filtration systems to capture airborne contaminants
  • Hydroxyl generators for advanced air purification
  • Thermal imaging cameras to identify hidden moisture that could lead to mold growth

OSHA and EPA Compliance in Biohazard Cleanup

All biohazard cleanup must comply with strict regulations to ensure safety and prevent environmental contamination.

OSHA Standards for Biohazard Remediation

Allied strictly adheres to OSHA standards, including:

  • Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030): Requires proper PPE, safe disposal of contaminated materials, and worker training
  • Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200): Ensures proper labeling and communication of hazardous substances
  • Respiratory Protection Standard (29 CFR 1910.134): Mandates appropriate respirators for dealing with airborne contaminants

  • Proper containment in leak-proof, color-coded containers
  • Correct labeling with biohazard symbols
  • Transportation by certified hazardous waste handlers
  • Disposal at approved facilities according to federal, state, and local regulations
