Biohazard Remediation Company Serving Harahan and Jefferson Parish
To decontaminate means to remove contamination from surfaces and the air until the space is safe for people to use. In a biohazard setting, that means cleaning first, then disinfecting, then treating odor.
If your Harahan property needs a thorough disinfection pass, call Harahan Biohazard Cleanup Help and get a team with the gear and products for it. Containment, cleaning, disinfecting and waste handling are all part of one visit plan across Jefferson Parish.

- Removal of carpet, padding, mattresses and upholstery that germs have soaked into

- Disinfection of touch points such as door handles, switches, rails and counters

Harahan Biohazard Remediation Questions, Answered
Is bleach enough to disinfect?
Not always. Different germs need different products, and the product label says what it targets and how long it must stay wet. Never mix bleach with other cleaners, because some mixes make harmful gases. A local team picks products that match the germs involved.
Do OSHA rules apply to biohazard decontamination?
Workers who may contact blood or infectious material are covered by the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030. Professional crews follow its rules on PPE and handling. Employers have their own duties, and safety staff can explain them.
What is biohazard decontamination?
Biohazard decontamination is the process of cleaning and disinfecting a space after blood, bodily fluids, sewage or similar material. Crews wear protective gear, remove items that cannot be saved and apply a disinfectant matched to the germs involved. The goal is a space safe to use again.
How long does decontamination take?
A small area with hard surfaces can take a few hours. Larger or more complicated spaces, heavy odor or many porous items take longer. The crew can offer a better timeline after seeing the site.
Do I need to be home during the work?
In many cases the person who calls does not need to be at the property. Ask how access and keys can be arranged. If you are out of town, say so when you call.
What is considered a biological hazard?
A biological hazard is any living organism or material from one that can harm health. Examples are bacteria, viruses, mold, blood, bodily fluids, sewage and animal waste. Chemicals and radiation are a different type of hazard.
