Jail Cell Cleanup Tampa, FL

Bio Scene Clean Up has been providing biohazard and jail cell cleanup services in Tampa, FL for almost a decade. Over the past several years safe cleanup practices for jail cell and police holding cells has been the center of controversy. Who is responsible for the cleanup and removal of biohazards associated with jails, police holding cells or police department vehicles? Protocol for these biohazard cleanup services vary depending on states.

Due to increased amounts of health risks stemming from biohazards found in most of these areas, many police departments have chosen to hire professional biohazard cleaning services to perform jail cell cleanup and proper cleaning of police cruisers and other affected areas.  These areas frequently contain blood, urine, vomit and other biohazard materials that can be a potential hazard to the health of others who come in contact with these areas.

Bio Scene Clean Up maintains all of the necessary permits and certifications to perform proper jail and police department cleanup services. In addition to these services, we are experienced in the cleanup of all crime, death and trauma scenes that contain potentially dangerous biohazards.  Some municipalities still enlist inmates to perform the cleanup and removal of these biohazard materials. We never suggest that inexperienced persons attempt to clean a biohazard scene. Inadequate cleanup of certain pathogens found in blood and other bodily fluids can linger for weeks to months after an event occurs. 

Unfortunately, in most cases the health conditions of the person(s) associated with the biohazards is not known. Mainly because of this, it is advised to hire a certified biohazard cleanup company like Bio Scene Clean Up to protect inmates, personnel and anyone who may come in contact directly or indirectly with the areas where these biohazards were present.

If you are a law enforcement professional, or a victim of Crime or a Tragedy, contact us immediately for professional biohazard cleanup. We currently cover Tampa, FL and the surrounding areas with 24 hour emergency dispatch to assist with your biohazard cleanup needs.

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. 

Agencies and prisons often contract our services due to liabilities associated with the biohazard cleanup. It is too costly and time consuming for prisons, police departments and some emergency transport services to maintain the proper permits and certifications needed to perform the cleanup job. The risks associated with the cleanup process are simply too great for these agencies. Our company is experienced, insured and we maintain all of the necessary permits to handle biohazard cleanup jobs.

Servicing the Tampa Bay and Sarasota FL areas we offer 24 hour emergency dispatch to serve our clients. Depending on the type of incident, we have staff accustomed to working in maximum security facilities and are familiar with the privacy protocols associated with these incident scenes.

Drug biohazards inside our prison systems

Over the past decade illegal drug activity has reached an all time high. From sales on streets to manufacturing these drugs, the presence of biohazards is always consistently found.  Bio Scene Clean Up specializes in the cleanup and remediation of biohazards associates with blood, death, crime, trauma, illegal drugs and other biohazard waste disposal needs.

When you hear about illegal drug activity you usually associate it with people who are selling, using and manufacturing in ordinary neighborhoods, however there is an increasing amount of illegal drug activity happing inside of prison facilities all across the United States.  Certain drugs are simple to manufacture with things that are accessible to inmates, many of whom are incarcerated because of illegal drug convictions.

Due to the types of biohazards created by these drugs and the potential risks for compromising the health and safety of staff and other inmates, prisons have began contracting professional licensed biohazard companies like Bio Scene Clean Up to clean these scenes. We are called to clean and disinfect jails, police holding cells, transport units and other areas associates with police departments and prisons. Some incidents not relating to illegal drugs are blood from fights, vomit and other bodily fluids found in holding cells, police cruisers, transport vehicles and even emergency response units.  These areas must be properly cleaned and completely disinfected to ensure the safety of anyone coming in contact with the areas again.  All materials from the cleaning must be disposed of according to the guidelines of State and Federal regulations. Our company maintains the proper certifications and permits necessary to transport and dispose of these types of waste.

If police departments or prison personnel were given the task to cleanup and disinfect these areas it would require every member to be specifically trained to handle and dispose all forms of biohazards, and maintain licenses and permits. They must also house all of the industrial chemicals and equipment necessary to perform these tasks.  The cost for even one municipality to maintain these types of services is astronomical.  In addition to eliminating themselves from liability of the cleanup, the costs associated with these incidents are the main reasons police and prisons have began contracting professional companies to perform work.
