Can You Clean Up Biohazards Yourself?

Whether a cleanup is appropriate to handle yourself depends on the situation. Significant blood, decomposition, sharps, unknown biological material or contamination that has penetrated porous materials can create risks that are not comparable to an ordinary household spill.

Safety note: Do not disturb an active or restricted scene. Avoid direct contact with blood, sharps, or unknown biological material. If anyone is in immediate danger, contact emergency services.

Reasons to avoid DIY cleanup

Do not casually handle scenes involving needles or broken contaminated glass, decomposition, substantial blood, unknown material, or contamination in difficult-to-clean porous materials.

Workplace cleanup is different

An employer cannot treat an occupational blood exposure question as purely a DIY decision. OSHA requirements can apply when workers have reasonably anticipated occupational exposure.

When in doubt, control access

Keep people and pets away from the affected area and call for guidance rather than disturbing material to see how severe it is.
