ABT Scene Cleanup Work

Friday, July 9th, 2010

Compiled from Facebook

Pennsylvania – Unattended death in Bethlehem PA. When a parent passes on and they live in a rental things can get tricky. First you need to look at the contractual obligations of the tenant. It may say only “unintentional” damage must be paid for by the tenant. If so, the remaining family does not have to pay for the cleanup. Refer the apt mgr to us.

Maryland – Unattended death in Baltimore MD. Gentleman passed in a row house.

Maryland - Today we responded to an unattended death scene in Randallstown MD where a previous company had removed carpet and padding, some sheetrock and used primer to cover blood on a sub floor. They left furniture and other items that had been affected by bodily fluids. They were supposed to make the scene safe for family to remove personal effects.

Biohazard Question – I got an email today wondering if, because someone urinated in his yard, should he have the yard treated for biohazards. Truthfully, I was a bit stumped. People and animals urinate outside all the time. Although cautious is good, let’s not be hypersensitive to possible disease. It takes the fun out of life. :-)

Biohazards of Meth Lab

Friday, February 26th, 2010

The health effects from exposure to the contaminants caused by meth labs (or methamphetamine laboratories) include dizziness, nausea, headaches, respiratory problems and irritation to the skins and eyes. That is why, after the police or DEA remove the equipment used to “cook” methamphetamines, it is extremely important to conduct a thorough cleaning to fully sanitize and decontaminate the venue of any and all such labs.

Because of the rampant spreading of these labs throughout the nation practically every state now requires companies that perform meth lab cleanings to obtain certification. The EPA is still composing lists of hazardous chemicals that different meth labs produce. Because of the “bootleg” nature of these meth lab kitchens, producers use and therefore, emit different chemicals during the production process. It is widely and fervently recommended that someone needing to clean up such a site only utilize a professional and certified meth lab clean up company. Not only would you be risking the possibility that your property insurance carrier would not cover you if you used a company that was not duly certified but you could also get ripped off.

Frequently the certified meth lab cleaner companies also have experience in murder scene cleaning, crime scene cleaning, homicide scene cleaning, suicide scene cleaning, blood scene cleaning, staph infection cleaning, mrsa infection cleaning and bio hazard cleaning; hence they possess the requisite expertise to locate and exterminate a variety of toxic agents. These companies need to scrutinize not only the surfaces and obvious places in a meth lab setting but also hidden areas and areas behind walls and below floors. Only then can the health risks and financial issues of contamination be fully eliminated.

No Visible Reminders At Workplace Shooting

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

A man peers at the note in his hand. Coming just seven days after his wife kicked him out of the house, he re-reads the words on his termination notice from his job at the car plant. With the removal of his personal effects as the only thing he has left to do at the factory, he sluggishly puts on his navy jacket and leaves to go down there checking the contents of his left inside pocket. When he gets to the gate of the plant, he shows his ID card and tells the security guy he is there to clean out his locker. The security attendant waves him on in. He enters the factory through the employee entrance, walks to the locker room and loads up his belongings.

Before exiting he walks over to the factory floor. His ex-foreman, seeing him on the floor, comes over to tell him good-bye and “it’s time for him to go.” Disapproving of his foreman’s smirk, the laid off man pulls a gun from his pocket, fires at the foreman killing him with one shot to the cranium and unleashes a series of shots killing two other men directly and one indirectly as the man was shot in the arm while lifting part of a car assembly. The assembly fell onto another man smothering him to death. After the gun’s chamber was empty, the disconsolate man dropped the weapon and was summarily tackled by three other workers.

In addition to the police, a crime scene cleaning company was summoned to the factory. Blood, ripped tissue and other organic material was strewn all over the factory. The crime scene cleaning company, well-experienced in performing suicide scene cleanups, meth lab cleanups, odor removal cleanups and other death scene cleanups and blood scene cleanups, sprung in to action. Knowledgeable of pertinent OSHA regulations, they were able to work well with the management of the factory. Cognizant of the need to preserve certain evidence for the police case against the arrested perpetrator, they consulted with the lead detective to ensure all evidence was properly gathered at certain times of the cleaning. Encouraged by the management of the company to act expeditiously, they worked swiftly but carefully.

The workers on the shift at that time will never forget the horror of that day. However, to the extent the physical reminders of the tragedy were removed as quickly as possible, there was no visible reminder to retrigger the trauma of the day although the sad memories will linger in their minds.

The Experience Is Necessary

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

A family of four is spending a comfortable Sunday afternoon strolling down the sidewalk in their neighborhood walking to a nearby park. A negligent driver, drunk from the several alcoholic beverages he consumed, cruises down the road at speeds in excess of fifteen miles per hour over the stated limit. As it goes past one intersection another car pulls out. In a feeble effort to avoid the other car, the intoxicated driver swerves, goes up on to the sidewalk and hits the entire family and a utility pole. The entire family is killed and the driver is severely injured, bleeding profusely and suffering from many broken bones.

Within minutes the city police arrive at the scene. They immediately call an ambulance for the driver who will be held in custody once at the hospital. They then call an accident scene cleaner company. With expertise in suicide scene cleanups, meth lab cleanups, odor removal cleanups and other death scene cleanups in addition to blood scene cleanups, this company wields the experience necessary to handle the job. In this particular case, both the mother and father were widely known in the neighborhood. Each in their own right was esteemed within their professional circles and within the community. The trauma among those in the area is expected to be significant.

By jumping into quick, but not reckless, action, the accident scene cleaners are able to restore the sight to its previous beauty. By the next morning, several mourners and others who wish to pay their respects by placing flowers and notes of affection about those who lost their lives. Had the accident scene cleaning company not done their job with such esprit, this fitting, if sad, memorial would not have been able to take place.

Avoid A Staph Infection

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

Staph infections generally become infectious when they enter a wound or some other type of punctured skin. Still one of the best ways to avoid a staph infection, which is basically a bacteria known as staphylococcus aureus, is by regularly washing your hands and taking daily baths and making sure that your cuts or any other wounds are sufficiently treated and covered.

In the event that you or your child (children get the staph infection at a higher rate per capita because of their higher chance of having cuts and wounds on their skin) does get a staph infection, it is vital not only to get the infected patient treated by a doctor but also to have a staph infection cleaning company come in and decontaminate and sanitize the area in which the infected patient resides and lives. These staph infection cleanup companies frequently also perform accident scene cleanups, crime scene cleanups, homicide scene cleanups, suicide scene cleanups, meth lab cleanups, odor removal cleanups and death scene cleanups indicating a wide range of expertise in chemically treating and sanitizing infected areas.

The likelihood of infection by another family member or employee or friend is heightened if the staph infection clean up is not performed. While the treatment is not complicated it is warranted. Don’t be foolish. Subject an infected area to a proper cleaning. Bring in a staph infection cleaner company if your residence, place of work or meeting place has been compromised.

The Unbearable Stress

Wednesday, February 10th, 2010

When a family learns that one of its members has taken of the tragic step  committing suicide the last thing that they want to see is the physical remnants of that horrible act. Suicide scene clean up companies can be brought in to remove the tissue and blood that gets eviscerated and scattered by those forms of suicide that involve a firearm. Subject to police permission, the suicide scene clean up companies can rid the site of these remnants relieving the family of the unwanted reminders of such a painful event.

But these suicide scene clean up companies serve other interests as well. First of all, many of these suicide scene clean up companies also perform blood scene clean ups, murder scene clean ups and other forms of crime scene clean ups. Accordingly, these suicide scene clean up companies frequently have expertise in the area of removing bio hazards so they know how to ensure that any tissue or blood residue can spread and infiltrate an otherwise safe environment.

They use chemicals and solutions and other devices to sanitize the building or area in which the suicide takes place. This allows people to continue to live safely at the location. Of course, unfortunately in many cases, the families of the lost one cannot handle the psychological toll of continuing to live in the same house or apartment where such a tragedy took place but they will be able to sell the house or apartment or have it relet if the sanitary conditions are not in question.

As difficult a time as it must be for family who has suffered such a major loss, the services provided by suicide scene clean up companies can alleviate some of the unbearable stress experienced by the family and solve some of the concrete environmental issues posed by the incident.

A Cleanup Company, Vital Part Of Law Enforcement Organizations

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

Accident scene cleaning has become a more vital part of law enforcement organizations who need to respond quickly to traffic accidents. As more and more people have moved to large metropolitan areas that are generally served by multi-lane interstate highways, the number of traffic accidents has risen markedly. Also because of the severe impediment that these accidents constitute to all the other motorists who are trying to get to work, get kids to or from school or make their appointments, the premium for quick accident scene cleanup is significant. Several accident scene cleanup companies, many of whom also perform blood scene cleanup, murder scene cleanup, suicide scene cleanup, bio hazard cleanup and meth lab cleanup should be brought to the scene to work with the police in clearing out the roadways expeditiously, carefully and thoroughly.

It is vital that the police utilize a professional accident scene cleanup company for these jobs. A company with blood scene cleaning capabilities is preferable if an accident involves the loss of blood. An accident scene cleaning company can remove all debris, scour the accident scene of any blood or dangerous chemicals and can verify the site is ready for renewed highway travel.

Every time there is an accident on a highway artery in a major American city the lives of countless people are not only inconvenienced but also many people who rely on making business appointments can lose the opportunity to make money. Cities that maintain accident scene cleanup companies on call or on retainer can minimize the problem for their citizenry and others who rely on these highways. As most of these accident scene cleanup companies also specialize in blood scene cleanup, murder scene cleanup, suicide scene cleanup, bio hazard cleanup and meth lab cleanup, these companies can play a vital role in keeping a busy city rolling right along.
