Bio-Hazard Symbol

Bio-Hazard can be defined as any biological or chemical substance that is dangerous to human's, animals and the environment. This can include body fluids, human tissue and blood, and recombinant DNA.

The term "Hazard" means that the substances noted can be harmful to you and others, so the cleaning or removing of these substances is best performed by a professional.

An assessment is the first step as we need to know what bio-hazard it is we are dealing with. This determines the types of PPE gear needed/required for clean-up, product choices, disposal requirements, but most importantly, what the customer needs to know to keep their staff and customer's/client's safe.

If you believe your facility has a bio-hazard event, email or Chuck Nuskey at chuck@SERVPROderrylondonderry.com or 603.432.3221 for emergency service.
