Many of us assume that emergency services clean up at a trauma scene, removing blood and other potentially infectious substances from a home or business after a tragedy occurs. However, this is not the case – cleanup must be performed by the property owner. When a crisis strikes, you need a specially trained trauma cleanup team to handle the scene.
What Is Trauma Cleanup?
Trauma cleanup refers to the cleanup that must take place after a tragedy or wide scale crisis takes place. Many times, the results of such an event are blood, hazardous chemicals, pathogens or infectious materials left behind in your home or business. The grief, shock and heartache that can accompany these kinds of situations are more than enough, without having to clean up too. That’s why companies like FERRO, who are experts in trauma cleanup, can come in and restore your area back to its original condition.
Real-Life Examples
Quite often, the situations that require trauma cleanup services are unexpected. Trauma cleanup providers can help property owners properly clean and dispose of any hazardous materials left behind after a crisis. Some of the real-life situations that often need trauma cleanup include:
- Homicide
- Suicide
- Drug lab discovery
- Body decomposition
- Mass casualty events (earthquake, terrorist attack)
- Severe hoarding
A trauma cleanup team will create a customized plan to clean up after an accident and safely remove any substances that could transmit infection, including bloodborne and airborne pathogens. Our goal is to make the scene safe and clean while being sensitive to the emotional considerations that come with tragedy.
Keys Factors to Consider
Discretion and professionalism are two of the most important elements to consider when looking for a company to handle a trauma cleanup. The emergency services that attend the scene are not responsible for cleaning up after they finish their part, which is why it is so important to call a trauma cleanup team to properly clean the scene and ensure it is safe for you.
We have the experience, we have the resources, and we have the training necessary to take control of the situation and restore the scene for you, discreetly and professionally.
