When faced with a biohazard situation, the temptation to handle cleanup yourself may seem like a quick and cost-effective solution. However, the risks of DIY biohazard cleanup are far greater than most realise. From health hazards to legal consequences, attempting to clean hazardous environments without professional expertise can lead to serious complications.

In this episode of The SRS Podcast: Unmasking the World of Specialist Cleaning, we delve into why biohazard cleanup should always be left to trained professionals. Learn about the hidden dangers of pathogens like Hepatitis B and MRSA, the limitations of household cleaning products, and the emotional weight of trauma scenes.

Through real-life stories of DIY attempts gone wrong, we highlight the risks of inadequate cleaning and the consequences for landlords, business owners, and care facilities. You’ll also discover the specialised tools and techniques professionals use, from hospital-grade disinfectants and HEPA filters to odour neutralisers and ATP testing, all guided by strict UK regulations like COSHH and the Health and Safety at Work Act.
