Trauma and Crime Scenes

Effective trauma cleaning requires specialised cleaning agents and equipment that go beyond standard household or commercial cleaning supplies. Professional trauma cleaners utilise hospital-grade disinfectants, personal protective equipment (PPE), and specialised tools to ensure thorough decontamination and the safe removal of biohazardous waste.

Trauma scenes can involve a range of biohazards, including blood, bodily fluids, and other potentially infectious materials. These substances pose significant health risks if not handled and disposed of properly. Professional trauma cleaners possess the knowledge and expertise to identify, contain, and remediate biohazards, minimising the risk of infection and disease transmission.

Rentokil Specialist Hygiene follows a comprehensive trauma cleaning process:

Trauma cleaning involves strict adherence to safety regulations and protocols to protect both the cleaning personnel and the individuals who will occupy the space afterward. Rentokil Specialised Hygiene are professional trauma cleaners who are well-versed in these regulations and follow best practices to ensure a safe and compliant cleaning process.

Beyond the physical cleanup, professional trauma cleaning offers significant emotional benefits. Entrusting the cleanup to trained professionals allows those affected by the traumatic event to focus on healing and recovery, without the added burden of dealing with the distressing task of cleaning up the scene themselves. This can be particularly important for families and individuals grappling with grief, shock, or trauma-related stress.

  Who is responsible for the trauma and crime scene cleanup?

  Although it may be a common perception that emergency services will organise the cleanup after a traumatic event or of a crime scene once they have finished at the scene, it is the responsibility of the property or premise owner to organise the cleanup of blood and other bodily fluids.

  Can I cleanup a trauma incident myself?

  We would highly recommend, as experienced and specialist disinfection professionals, that you do not attempt to clean up a trauma or crime scene situation yourself. Not only is it unsafe to clean trauma situations but there are strict guidelines and legislation surrounding the removal of waste from crime and trauma scenes.

  Biohazards including bodily fluids, sharps and syringes can be present at the scene, causing a health risk of spreading infection and cross contamination. Blood-borne pathogens and viruses such as Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and HIV can be transferred via bodily fluid, so the treatment of contaminated areas by a specialist technician with the relevant personal protective equipment is vital.

  A trained professional attending the scene will remove any potential risks to human health then cleaned and sanitised thoroughly, before disposing of potentially hazardous biohazardous waste in line with relevant legislation. The best thing and most important thing you can do is to respond to these distressing situations quickly and to call in a professional cleaning service.
