What exactly is a biohazard?

The term “biohazard” is defined as one of “those infectious agents presenting a risk or potential risk to the well-being of man, either directly through his infection or indirectly through disruption of his environment.” 

What are some biohazard examples?

  • Human blood and blood products. This includes items that have been affected by blood and other body fluids or tissues that contain visible blood.
  • Animal waste. Animal carcasses and body parts, or any bedding material used by animals that are known to be infected with pathogenic organisms.
  • Human body fluids. Semen, cerebrospinal fluid, pleural fluid, vaginal secretions, pericardial fluid, amniotic fluid, and saliva
  • Microbiological wastes. Common in laboratory settings, examples of microbiological wastes include specimen cultures, disposable culture dishes, discarded viruses, and devices used to transfer or mix cultures.
  • Pathological waste. Unfixed human tissue (excluding skin), waste biopsy materials, and anatomical parts from medical procedures or autopsies.
  • Sharps waste. Needles, glass slides and cover slips, scalpels, and IV tubing that has the needle attached.

More from the Boat Mold Remediation in St. Augustine.

2/1/2016 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of Greater St. Augustine/St. Augustine Beach's Tech is loading up our Box truck with the boat's contents - off to store in our warehouse.

The Boat Mold Remediation project turned out to be much more involved than what we originally estimated. Thankfully the adjuster agreed with the expanded scope. It often happens in a Mold Remediation or any Damage Remediation work that a problem is discovered after all work has begun. We suppose that could be true about anything, but this Mold job turned into a Content Manipulation job, which later turned into Water Extraction, and Content Storage...I think we should stop there.
