The Duties of a Crime Scene Cleaner | WARNING: Graphic Images

Thousands of people die by violent means every year. These poor individuals don’t just leave behind grieving loving ones—they leave behind terrible messes that most people simply can’t handle. Biohazard cleanup crews are there to clean up the mess.

In this short video from Current.com, we learn all about one of the strangest professions out there—crime scene cleaner. Considering the profound psychological effects of cleaning up vast amounts of blood, it’s no wonder that crime scene cleaning goes beyond the duties of regular housekeepers.

• You will often be left to deal with the aftermath of a trauma scene on your own.

• There are few truly qualified companies that can assist you in handling these complex situations.
• There are serious, often life-threatening risks, such as HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis involved if you attempt a cleanup on your own.
• There are strict governmental restrictions involving the cleanup and disposal of biohazardous waste from a crime or trauma scene. OSHA forbids the clean-up of these disasters by untrained personnel.

Questions to Ask a Biohazard Cleanup Service

Witnessing the aftermath of a suicide or homicide can be one of the most traumatic experiences of your entire life. Still, it’s important that you do your best to put your life back together. One of the first steps in that process is to hire a professional biohazard cleanup service to remove all evidence of the traumatic event. Before you do that, however, here are a few questions you should ask:

• How much experience do you have? 
  Just as with any other business, experience is an important quality in a biohazard cleanup service. Biohazard Response, for example, has more than 20 years of experience handling biohazards, and can make your living space absolutely clean and sanitary.
• How do you dispose of waste? 
  Before you make the final arrangements with a biohazard cleanup service, you should ensure that their disposal methods are sensible and environmentally friendly. A professional cleanup service is sure to provide a contract that explains the disposal of biomedical waste, as well as documentation that proves its destruction.
• Are you fully licensed and insured?
  Since cleaning up hazardous waste involves a tremendous amount of risk, you need to ensure that the service you choose has all of the proper qualifications. You should ask to see an occupational license, proof of insurance, and proof of American Bio-Recovery Association membership. You might also ask if they can handle your homeowners’ insurance paperwork for you.
• Can you provide a crisis counselor? 
  Few people can handle such traumatic scenarios without the help of mental health professionals. Though you may tell yourself that you’re fine, the horror of the event may have a profound effect on you for years to come. That’s why you should ask your biohazard cleanup crew if they know any counselors who can help you get through this difficult time.

If you’re having trouble finding a good biohazard cleanup crew, contact Biohazard Response of Orlando. Though having a suicide or homicide occur in your home can be traumatizing, you don’t have to face the aftermath alone. Call us today at (407) 792-4096 to get started.
