What Does Trauma Scene Clean-Up Entail?
Trauma scene clean-up refers to the safe, professional, and certified clean-up, sanitization, and removal of hazardous materials from a crime scene, suicide scene, unattended death, or another type of traumatic event. The exact process depends on various factors, including the type and scope of the traumatic event.
That being said, our Dallas trauma scene clean-up team follows set protocols and procedures for most trauma scene clean-up services. These include:
- Safe and thorough decontamination of the affected area
- Discreet removal of bloodborne pathogens and biohazards
- Proper disposal of biohazards and bloodborne pathogens
- Site disinfection, decontamination, and sanitization
- Secure handling and return (when possible) of personal property and possessions
- Odor removal, including removal of potentially hazardous materials, bacteria, and gases
- Restoration of the affected area to its pre-incident state
In addition to immense emotional and psychological challenges, trauma scenes present numerous physical hazards, including those that could threaten your health and safety. You should never feel that you must clean up a site on your own. In fact, it is important for your continued wellbeing that you leave this up to the professionals.
At Mars Services, our trauma scene clean-up experts specialize in the safe and effective removal of harmful substances, fluids, bacteria, odors, biohazards, and bloodborne pathogens. We have the right tools and equipment to ensure the safety of the site and to return the area to its pre-incident condition.
