A biohazard is any biological material that can cause disease, such as blood, bodily fluids, tissue, human or animal waste, raw sewage and used needles.
Some remain viable for quite a while. Dried blood should be considered infectious. The CDC states that hepatitis B can remain viable for at least seven days on surfaces.
Illness caused by sewage germs often begins in one to three days, though certain infections develop later. Keep away, and prevent pets or children from entering.
A typical job requires one to three days at the site. Several days to two weeks may be needed for decomposition, major scenes or hoarding cleanouts.
Body removal is completed either by a funeral home or by the medical examiner. Cleaning the scene afterward is the property owner's or family's job, and most hire a biohazard cleanup company.
