Police Shootings and Gun Violence

Over the past couple of years we’ve all experienced the increase of Gun Violence and Police shootings across the nation. Every incident involving a shooting requires professional biohazard cleanup. Bio Scene Clean Up provides blood and biohazard cleanup from shootings, automobile accidents, police transport vehicles and even jail cells.

Blood, when outside of the human body can still continue to carry infectious diseases or pathogens that can cause illness for long periods of time. Dried blood can become airborne and even in its dry form, if ingested during cleanup can be harmful or even fatal to someone.  Proper cleanup protocol for blood and biohazards must be followed. If you experience a crime or tragedy involving gun shootings and blood you should never attempt to clean up the aftermath.

Bio Scene Clean Up is certified and maintains all of the proper permits for the cleanup, removal and disposal of biohazard materials.  These materials can range from parts of automobiles that contain blood, wood, furniture and other structural materials that contain biohazards and even dirt, soil or concrete from blood spills in outside environments.

When blood cleanup is required, our technicians treat the handling of all materials as if they have been contaminated with infectious diseases. This helps protect everyone involved in the cleanup and removal process and also assures the property owner that the site has been restored to a safe environment free from all biohazards. 

State and local governments have specific protocols that must be followed when performing these types of cleanup jobs and if you are untrained and attempt cleanup on your own, you may be liable for improper handling and disposal. The ramifications of improper cleanup and disposal are much worse if the biohazard area were to cause health compromises or even death to someone else as a result.

Hire Bio Scene Clean Up so that you can be certain a certified company will work with you to eliminate this type of liability.

Biohazard Cleanup form Prison Worker Suicides

Bio Scene Clean UP receives many calls for aftermath cleanup from suicide scenes.  When people hear suicides they usually think of depressed, emotionally challenged individuals alone at home or in some remote areas. This is true in many cases, however suicide victims can be someone with emotional disorders, professionals in high stress industries, someone with financial problems or even children with relation to crimes, drugs, gangs or even bullying.

Recently the awareness of personnel in America’s prison systems has noticed an increase in the amount of staff suicides. Primarily the thought is that there is a direct relation between the dismal environment that workers endure and the feeling of hopelessness that is associated with prisoners, especially ones that have been sentenced to life without parole.  These workers typically work long hours and in most cases are confined to one specific area and never see the outside world once they report for duty.

These workers deal with violent fights, suicides, murders and many other scenarios inside prison facilities so it’s understandable that it can take an emotional toll on workers.  Bio Scene Clean Up provides biohazard cleanup services for police jail cells, prisons and other secure facilities where biohazards such as blood, urine, feces and other bodily fluids are present.  We are skilled in handling and removal of biohazards in a discreet, safe manner and restoring these scenes to a safe sanitized environment.

Fingerprint Dusting Cleanup and Potential Hazards

If you are the victim of a crime, you’ll have enough to worry about just dealing with the trauma and details after the police and investigators leave.  Some forces employ professional crime scene cleaners like Bio Scene Clean Up to clean the aftermath of a crime however often times it’s left up to the victims themselves to clean.

Depending on the type of crime the scene may have hidden biohazards that most untrained people would not think about.  If it’s a violent crime scene, there is usually a presence of blood or other bodily fluids that can be transferred to various areas of the scene in the process of investigators dusting for prints. The dusting powder used leaves residue on everything in the area. Carpets, furniture and other elements like doors, windows and walls are often covered with residue.  Although very difficult to clean and properly remove, Bio Scene Clean Up utilizes industrial solutions and various equipment to remediate crime scenes. We ensure your property will be returned to a sanitized pre-incident state.

If there is a presence of blood or other bodily fluids, we advise you not to attempt to clean the scene on your own.  Blood and other fluids, once dried, can become airborne and molecules can attach to the fingerprint dust. This means that these areas may potentially contain deadly bio-organisms that can be easily ingested with dust particles in the air or may adhere to clothing or other fabrics and transferred to other areas or people. This type of clean up generally requires a professional company that can remove and dispose of all biohazard waste the proper way.

What you see in this article image is never the proper way to dispose of biohazard waste. Luckily, in this instance, these bags contain regular trash and paper from an office. You should never use biohazard waste bags as normal trash bags.  Red bags marked with a biohazard emblem found like this should be reported to the local health authorities who will investigate to determine who is responsible for the improper disposal and what type of biohazards they actually are.

Biohazard waste that we work with most is any liquid or solid waste that may present a threat of infection to humans. Liquid waste includes blood and other body fluids from humans. Solid waste includes clothing, towels, rags, sheets, gloves, plastic bags, or any objects soiled with blood, or other body fluids. When biohazard waste is improperly managed , it places sanitation workers and the general public at risk for contracting dangerous diseases. We take every precaution and are certified in the handling, transporting and disposal of biohazard waste.  We always suggest that you never attempt to clean these types of scenes yourself as there are very high chances that these scenes contain blood and other pathogens that can be extremely harmful if you come in contact with them.  Most state regulations suggest that you contact a biohazard clean up provider like Bio Scene Clean Up to assist you.
