CRIME SCENE CLEAN UP
Service for Businesses
Considering Having Your Employees Handle Crime Scene Clean Up?
Consider this: Federal Regulation 29CFR1910.1030 makes it clear: Your employees can only clean up blood, bodily fluids, biohazard, or infectious waste if: 1) They have been formally trained in blood borne pathogens. 2) You have a written blood borne pathogens plan. 3) They have personal protective equipment available. 4) They have been offered hepatitis vaccine with a follow up visit. 5) You have provided them with proper method to remove, store, and legally dispose of biohazardous waste. Only after these steps are met, can an employee clean a biohazard scene.
Business owners, take note: the worst action you can take in the event of a crime scene or accidental death is to assign the job to the on-duty maintenance crew. It’s illegal to require a person to conduct a crime scene clean up without proper certification. Due to the hazardous nature of such work, anyone who does not possess the appropriate training and equipment may contract a communicable disease.
The safety and health concerns of your employees are critical. This is an extremely important factor of a professional crime scene or industrial accident. Every time we issue a certificate of treatment, we are guaranteeing that the crime scene was completely cleaned and sanitized.
