Crime Scene Cleanup Requires Special Training, Knowledge, and Supplies

Believe it or not, cleaning up the scene of a traumatic death is the responsibility of the victim’s family – an unimaginable task for the grieving. The goal of a crime scene cleanup company is to lighten this burden by cleaning the scene and returning it to its original state.

An article published by Julia Layton says, “Crime or not, mopping up after a traumatic death is not only a potentially horrific task. It also requires a significant amount of training and special knowledge to complete properly.”

Bioremediation involves cleaning up potentially dangerous material, including blood and other body fluids, that are considered biohazards. To protect themselves and others, crime scene cleanup crews should follow all OSHA regulations and standards:

1. Have access to handwashing facilities and antiseptic cleansers.
2. Wear personal protective gear (filtered respirators, chemical spill boots, and non-porous one-time-use suits).
3. Do not eat, drink, apply makeup, or change contacts while at a crime scene.
4. Discard contaminated objects in biohazard waste containers.

Why Aftermath?

It is important to note that the tasks performed by biohazard technicians go well beyond the cosmetic, and just because a scene looks clean does not mean it is clean. The scene of a death poses dangers that cannot be perceived by the naked eye. Crime scene cleaners must clean all areas of a scene, from baseboards and lighting fixtures to carpets and subflooring.

Since 1999, Aftermath has provided bioremediation services to families dealing with the death of a loved one. With several locations throughout the country, we are available for crime scene cleanup anytime, day or night.
