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.

Gun Crimes Lead To Dangerous Biohazard Scenes

No matter where you live in the United States, gun crimes are still a reality that we face daily.  From large metropolitan areas to rural small towns, Bio Scene Clean Up receives frequent calls from authorities and property owners requesting crime scene, death and blood cleanup services. In many of these cases, shootings were accidental but there is still a major volume of violent gun crimes committed each year.

Several factors attribute to these crimes and many times involve domestic disagreements, murder/suicides and people who are subject to illegal drug use or anti-depressant medications.  Though statistics of the individual causes aren’t known, the same common biohazard denominator is true in all scenes involving shootings.  Blood, bodily fluids and other matter is present in these scenes and it must be professionally cleaned and removed in order to ensure a safe environment for everyone involved.

Some authorities make referrals of professional crime scene cleanup companies like Bio Scene Clean Up but many leave the responsibility up to the victims, family members and property owners to find a certified biohazard cleanup company.  We possess the qualifications and necessary certifications to properly clean up death, murder, suicide and crime scenes and also provide services to decontaminate illegal drug scenes (meth labs) or the biohazards from hoarding and gross filth conditions.

Depending on the state you reside in, each municipality has their own regulations and protocol for the handling, removal and disposal of biohazard waste.  Although there are some federal regulations, it’s important to know these protocols and regulations. Any individual attempting to clean up these types of scenes who isn’t certified and does not follow these protocols could very easily find themselves liable for improper clean up practices and may be putting the health of themselves and others in jeopardy.  Whenever there is a presence of blood, tissue, fluids and other biohazards special industrial chemicals and equipment are needed to ensure the scenes are free from biohazards and completely decontaminated.  If a scene is improperly cleaned it’s possible to have horrible odors and the presence of some dangerous pathogens or biohazards can remain present for weeks or months after clean up is performed.

If you experience any of these types of scenarios, please contact our office immediately. The cost of professional cleanup services is far less than the liability you face from improper cleanup of these dangerous scenes.
