Definition of a Biohazard

A Biohazard (biological hazard) is any biological substance that poses a threat to the health of living organisms, primarily humans. These materials can be infectious, toxic, or otherwise harmful when improperly handled.

Common Sources of Biohazards Include:

• Blood and bodily fluids
• Human tissue or organs
• Animal waste and carcasses
• Medical waste (needles, bandages)
• Sewage backups
• Mold infestations
• Chemical contaminants

Types of Biohazards

Biohazards are categorized into four levels based on their risk to humans:

Biohazard Level 1

Low-risk pathogens like E. coli. Typically non-lethal, but still require caution.

Biohazard Level 2

Moderate-risk agents such as HIV and Hepatitis B. Require personal protective equipment (PPE).

Biohazard Level 3

Severe illnesses like tuberculosis. These require controlled access and high-level containment procedures.

Biohazard Level 4

High-risk and often fatal diseases such as Ebola. Rare but demand the strictest controls.

Dangers of Biohazard Exposure

Exposure to Biohazards can result in severe illness or death. It's not just visible contamination—hidden pathogens can remain active on surfaces for days or weeks.

Top Health Risks:

• HIV and Hepatitis B/C from blood
• MRSA and other antibiotic-resistant bacteria
• Airborne pathogens from Decomposition
• Mold-induced respiratory conditions

Attempting to clean a Biohazard yourself puts you and others at serious risk. Only trained professionals should perform these tasks.
