Crime scenes are also a cluster of unexpected biohazards, radiation or blood borne pathogens that could lead to long term illness for people who get in contact without proper protective equipment. Apart from risk of exposure to infectious diseases, a trauma site often gets splattered with blood or body fluids, sharp objects or weapons, broken furniture or other household objects and a host of other damaged items.

With good experience in bio-recovery, our trained team will also work on a plan to remove and decontaminate the area affected by biohazardous materials.

Various procedures and intricate details are taken care of by our team like wearing a second layer of gloves, gloves taped to the wrists, boots taped to the ankle, particle filtration masks and even gas masks as needed.
Managing the cleanup of a trauma site or a crime scene requires certain specialised skills like:
The law enforcement team usually leaves the crime scene with residual remains post their investigation and it is the responsibility of the landlord or individual to ensure that the site is restored to its original condition. This could be dust left from fingerprint testing or debris left from a violent crime and requires the expertise of an experienced team to restore the premises to a clean, sanitized and odour free environment. This could also extend to the vehicles and external areas of the site. There is also a possibility of spillage, seepage or splatter of dangerous chemicals into the furniture, flooring or walls and our IICRC Certified bio-recovery team are well trained in managing the remediation and restoring the area to a safe zone before starting the cleaning activities required. Blood and chemicals left undetected under carpets or furniture are dangerous to health of the residents but also can cause structural damage to the floors, walls or ceiling where they remain and continue to erode surfaces and spread the damage.
