Are you an “accidental landlord“? There are more of them these days.They are the people who never intended to be landlords, but maybe they bought a new house and couldn’t sell the old one, so they’re renting it out. Some are those who bought a vacation home, but find they must bring in short-term tenants to cover higher-than-expected costs. Well listen up, virgin landlords: You need to revisit your homeowner’s insurance policy now. (more…)

Are you familiar with MRSA? MRSA is the common acronym used to refer to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, an antibiotic resistant strain of staph infection. While MRSA has been around for decades it is of concern to doctors and medical professionals because of its resistance to standard treatments. This can cause a delay in diagnosis and treatment that might allow MRSA to spread in the body becoming more dangerous.
The good news is that there are medicines available to treat MRSA infections. Still, the best way to deal with MRSA is to avoid it! MRSA is spread primarily through physical contact. Anyone with a break in their skin can become infected. This includes cuts, sores, burns, and abrasions – basically any skin injury that penetrates the skin’s protective outer layers. (more…)
Crime Scene Cleanup Pros: Decontamination Service, Cleaning Blood in the Aftermath of Trauma NY NJ PA MD

Every trauma scene has its own unique degree of complexity. Depending on when a person dies: hours, days, months; where a trauma occurs: either residential or industrial locations (nuclear power plant, fuel refinery); and how a person dies (you get the point) will, ultimately, affect the level of complication for a trauma aftermath cleaning company. This exposure is very necessary in determining experience. Experience signifies that a cleaning company understands all issues, liabilities, and obstacles that will be apparent at a jobsite. It also indicates to the client that it is very knowledgeable in its field and can apply this knowledge to the client’s specific situation.
But what exactly constitutes experience, and how does a trauma aftermath scene cleanup company become an expert in its field? Here are some points for a consumer to think about when determining a company’s decontamination service.
- Exposure to a variety of situations.
- Understanding all complications of the job, including external factors.
- Retaining knowledge and constantly applying it.
Having the ability to participate in a multitude of cleanup jobs in the aftermath of trauma is the first step in achieving experience. So, one way for a consumer to consider if a Pennsylvania (PA), New York (NY), New Jersey (NJ) or Maryland (MD) company is an expert, is by verifying its job history; specifically, the total number of jobs and the type of jobs performed. A decontamination services clean up company should at the very least be exposed to different forms of cleaning blood in the aftermath of trauma. Bottom line: ask for a corporate resume that lists the cleaning company’s job experiences.
A corporate resume should showcase this information, illustrating the different types of jobs and complexities it has handled. The difficulty of the job and where it must be performed (elevator shaft, radioactive control area line, confined space – permit only) highlight a company with extensive experience. For example, a nuclear power plant which, today, supplies a vast amount of power in Pennsylvania (PA), New York (NY), and New Jersey (NJ) is extremely different than a typical residential clean up. Common obstacles such as Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) involvement, procedural security clearance and the hazards of sensitive radioactive areas highlight extensive experience unlike most trauma and decontamination scene services. Even simple tasks like cleaning blood will have a different protocol when external factors are considered. A company’s resume and referral resources can highlight these experiences and will usually help a person understand a company’s approach to residential and commercial trauma scene clean up.
Additionally, get rid of the notion that time has everything to do with gaining decontamination service experience. Experience can only be established if a company is consistently performing. Knowledge must be fresh in the minds of crew members so that this know-how can be applied to future worksites. Remember, a larger crime scene cleanup company has been exposed to a greater diversity of jobs that may specifically relate to your situation. It is also more likely that a larger crime scene cleanup company is competent enough to perform any job even if it has not performed every type. By doing hundreds or thousands of jobs, a trauma cleaning company can help you feel secure, as you are dealing with a skilled company that is very well-informed and quite capable of handling your situation.

Tips To Hire Professional Crime Scene, Suicide, Trauma, Death, Biohazard Cleanup Company
Sunday, October 9th, 2011By NNT Featured Publications- August 2, 2011

The State of Florida licenses crime scene cleanup companies. Unfortunately, the average consumer may think this means they can trust any company with a state issued license as it implies the state recognizes those companies to be professional in their field. That supposition couldn’t be further from the truth. This is placing Florida (FL) families in danger from improper cleanup of crime, trauma, suicide, accidents and other death incidents involving blood or bodily fluid clean up.
The Florida Department of Health ( FL DOH ), whether in Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Tampa, Orlando or any other city does not in any way shape or form verify the training, knowledge or professionalism in the rendering of crime scene cleanup services of the companies they license. All having these licenses mean is that the company transports, stores and disposes of medical waste from suicide, trauma, unattended death, accident and other biohazard cleanup in an approved manner; that’s it, nothing more and nothing less.
Further, because the license is so easy to get and implies that a crime cleanup company is professional, many companies have entered the field without having any type of professional training, experience, insurances, equipment, etc. This may cause the public to assume these companies know what they are doing, paying them as if they were a professional company. In order to protect yourself, when you look for crime scene cleanup services, please keep the following ideas in mind.
Price is what a consumer tends to focus upon and this is valid, if, they are pricing apples to apples. Due to lack of experience with the industry, many consumers skip this comparison and focus only on price. You can buy a fast food burger for $1.00. You can also buy a sit down restaurant chain burger for $8-10.00. You can buy a gourmet burger for $15.00. Now, I am not saying you have to pay gourmet prices but do FL residents really want or deserve fast food quality for blood cleaning when you are talking about the safety of your employees, tenants, clients, children and yourself?
Make sure the company you chose has professional trauma scene clean up training, lots of experience, safety briefing meeting logs, employee handbooks, corporate resumes, “Codes of Safe Practices”, recommendations from high profile clients, etc. The two italicized ones are the hardest to exaggerate or fake and should be quickly provided when you request them. Don’t just take their word for it. Ask for proof.
Why be so diligent? ALL of these companies say they are OSHA and EPA certified. That’s nonsense. Neither of those agencies certifies the crime and trauma scene cleanup industry, they only regulate certain aspects of it. Companies with fewer than 10 employees are not required to be OSHA compliant. Protect yourself! Shop quality then price when looking for a crime or suicide scene cleanup company.
