Common biohazards present in crime and trauma scenes and how Bio-One of Chula Vista specialists can help you remediate them
Crime and trauma scenes pose multiple health risks and public safety issues. From blood and body fluids residue to sharp objects and hazardous waste, these scenarios must be cleaned by professionals to avoid spreading diseases and infections.
Crime scenes and other traumatic scenarios like unattended death, homicides, and suicides involve emergency responders, medical staff, law enforcement, and investigators who document the scene and collect everything that is considered relevant for a police investigation. After that investigation is concluded and the coroners have left the scene, remnants from the event may linger in the area, and it’s important to have professionals clean and properly remediate the scenes from all biohazardous waste.
Bio-One of Chula Vista’s certified technicians are always available to help you remediate crime and trauma scenes from bloodborne pathogens and other bodily fluids. Attempting to clean these scenarios by yourself not only can be emotionally taxing but may be highly dangerous.
What are the most common biohazards found in crime and trauma scenes?
-Blood spills and bodily fluids - Blood carries diseases and it can last on surfaces for long periods. Even after dry, bloodborne pathogens transmit diseases and infections via direct contact.
-Contaminated items/objects - Bloodborne pathogens linger on almost any surface and, sometimes, the damage is irreversible. Bloodstains and bodily fluids residue can contaminate items and it is up to certified technicians to determine whether those objects may be cleaned or if they must be discarded. Sharp objects, needles, bed sheets, furniture, upholstery… almost any surface may be contaminated in a traumatic scene. Bloodborne pathogens carry diseases like Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, HIV/AIDS.
-Highly contaminated environments - Usually, dealing with unattended/undiscovered death entails taking care of the strong odors resulting from the decomposed body fluids. These are highly infectious scenarios that must be cleaned following strict guidelines to make sure all surfaces are restored and free of all blood and airborne pathogens.
