Crimes, Murder and the increasing biohazards left behind

Headlines such as these are becoming an everyday occurrence:

• “Mother of Teen Girl Fatally Shot: It's An Ongoing War”
• “A gunman, 23-year-old student Seung-Hui Cho, goes on a shooting spree killing 32 people in  two    locations...”
• "Twenty children and six adults are killed at the school by 20-year-old.....”



There once was a time when these headlines could strike a panic throughout the country.   No longer do they strike a panic as Americans have become impervious to these types headlines. Daily we hear of the incidence of brutal killings all around our country. Unfortunately, there is an alarming increasing in the rate of killing sprees, mass murders, massacres, rampage killings and other violent crime activities. Clearly these killings occur without regard for any of the victims especially those that by some unfortunate twist of fate are innocently in the wrong place. 

These murder and crime scenes leave behind have many potential biohazards.  There is a are certain threats of infection from the blood,  matter, bodily fluids and invisible air borne pathogens that are sure to be hidden in the aftermath.  As little as 15 years ago if a murder had occurred only buckets, scrub brushes, disinfectant, gloves and  facial masks were recommended  by crime scene authorities as acceptable cleanup methods.

Burglary Crime Scene Clean Up - The Hidden Hazards

When a crime occurs in a residential home or place of business, the aftermath can be overwhelming.  The biohazard materials left behind depend on the severity of the intrusion and whether or not violence with occupants are involved.  Even if no physical violence occurs, intruders can still leave behind certain biohazards from broken glass, wooden splinters and often times we find the presence of bodily fluids from vandals that damage a property.

The stressful cleanup of these types of aftermath require a professional company like Bio Clean Services to remove all biohazards and restore properties to a pre-incident state.  When intrusions are violent and involve a homicide, the evidence of biohazards is usually evident. In other cases, the use of special equipment is necessary to discover the trace elements of any biohazard materials left behind.

Bio Clean Services  maintains all equipment necessary and is experienced in the cleanup of death, suicide, blood, trauma and various types of crime scenes. Individuals, apartment managers and even general janitorial or cleaning companies are not equipped to handle this type of cleanup and to protect their health and the health of others, we advise that these scenes should not be cleaned by anyone without specific training, knowledge of biohazard removal and disposal or protocol of Federal and State guidelines.

Cleaning of most types of crime scenes involves the use of personal safety equipment to protect yourself from blood, waste and other pathogens that may be present.  Certified biohazard cleanup companies like Bio Clean Services use highly advanced sanitation equipment and effective EPA approved industrial cleaning chemicals or solutions that ensure your property is completely decontaminated and returned to a habitable state.  Any objects that come into contact with these biohazards must be cleaned, sanitized or in extreme cases removed from the scene.  Some materials can be handled in a simple medical waste box while others require proper removal protocols so they do not pose a health threat to the public.  In either event, if you attempt to clean a scene like this on your own and do not follow proper protocol, you may find yourself liable for health risks that may affect other people.
