Did You Know?

Police, EMS Personel, Medical Examiners, and or Funeral Directors, do not clean up any trauma, suicide or crime scene and will not handle any medical waste disposal. This burden is on you.
OSHA is very strict and responds rapidly to reported violations. OSHA has imposed fines ranging from $7,000 to $70,000 for serious and willful violations of the Bloodborne Pathogen Training Standard.
If the collected body fluids/tissues are not properly destroyed, the Sanitary Code has provisions for the imposition of fines of up to $25,000 and imprisonment for up to two years for violation of 105CMR480.000.
The costs of a lawsuit or workmen’s compensation claim for an improper cleaning are many times greater than the costs of a proper recovery.
The majority of scene recovery costs are covered under most insurance policies.
The secondary emotional trauma inflicted by cleaning a tragic crime or suicide scene will often last much longer than the initial shock of discovery.
Employing a professional bio recovery company that can handle all the medical waste disposal also avoids a significant exposure to a worker’s compensation claim and reduces the liability for a lawsuit.
