Bodily Fluids Clean Up Service

It is critical nowadays to be cautious when dealing with bodily fluids and faeces due to the risk of infection and exposure to diseases.

Direct exposure to body fluid spills do not result in infection. In general, the risk of human infection from spills is very low. However, risk of contracting a disease from direct contact to blood, urine, vomit and faeces is based on many factors, including but not limited to the following:

• The infectious agent involved
• Amount of body fluids/faeces involved in the exposure
• Duration and type of exposure
• The amount of infectious agent in the body fluids/faeces at the time of exposure

The 3 main diseases that can be transmitted by exposure to body fluids are:

A biohazard is any biological matter that poses a health risk.

Biohazards contain viruses, bacteria or toxins that we might touch, ingest or breathe. This can then lead to illnesses ranging in severity from a mild cold to potentially deadly viral infections. Importantly, exposure to biohazards such as body fluids, clinical waste and mould can pose an immediate threat to health. So they need to be dealt with carefully and thoroughly, and as quickly as possible.

Biohazards can come from a wide range of sources, including:

• Blood, vomit and other bodily fluids
• Human or animal waste
• Clinical waste
• Used sharps and needles
• Infectious microorganisms, including bloodborne pathogens (e.g. HIV, Hepatitis), bacteria (e.g. MRSA, E. coli), viruses (e.g. Norovirus, Coronavirus) and mould and fungal spores
• Decomposed biological matter
• Industrial chemicals or biological waste
