Is human feces a biohazard?

Yes. Human feces can carry bacteria and viruses such as E. coli, hepatitis A and norovirus. In large amounts, or when it soaks into building materials, it is cleaned with protective gear and disinfected like any other biohazard.

Can you get sick from cleaning up human feces?

Yes. Touching feces or contaminated surfaces and then your mouth, nose or eyes can spread germs. Wear gloves and eye protection, wash your hands well afterward and keep children and pets away.

Is urine a biohazard?

Urine is treated with caution, especially when it is mixed with blood or other fluids or has soaked into flooring and mattresses. It can leave bacteria and strong odor behind. A cleanup team removes the soaked materials and disinfects the area.

Is commercial feces cleanup different from home cleanup?

The safety steps are the same, but commercial jobs may involve shared restrooms, customers and business hours. Crews work to close off the area, clean it and keep documentation for managers and insurers.

What should I do before the cleaners get there?

Call 911 first if anyone is hurt or ill. Keep people and pets out of the area, open a window if you can, and do not spray or scrub the waste. Take photos for insurance and note what the waste touched.

Is feces and urine cleanup different from sewage cleanup?
