Are crime scene cleanup technicians trained to handle bloodborne hazards?

Yes. Code Three Trauma Clean’s certified biohazard and trauma cleanup professionals are trained in OSHA bloodborne pathogen standards, EPA safety guidelines, and relevant PPE protocols. The company follows OSHA, EPA, and CDC standards for hazardous-material handling, decontamination, and biohazard disposal.

Is professional cleanup safer than trying to clean a crime scene myself?

Professional cleanup is the safer choice when blood or other potentially infectious materials may be present. Without appropriate training, PPE, and disposal practices, handling affected materials can expose you to hazards or spread contamination. Avoid touching the area and contact a trained team for guidance.

What should I do before the cleanup team arrives?

Wait until authorities have released the scene, keep people away from affected areas, and do not move or discard contaminated items. When you call, share what you know about the property and visible conditions. The team can explain the next steps and discuss emergency availability.

Can Code Three Trauma Clean help with insurance after the work?

The team can assist with insurance claims and documentation when applicable. Support may relate to homeowners, business policies, or liability coverage, but coverage depends on the relevant policy and insurer. Ask what documentation may be available for your situation.

How long does crime scene cleanup take, and what affects the cost?

Timing and cost depend on the affected area, materials, access, and work required. The team needs details about the scene to discuss a suitable scope and estimate. Ask for the factors behind the proposed work before authorizing service.
