Study on the effectiveness of retail disinfectants in eliminating Salmonella demonstrates that household cleaners are not strong enough to eliminate bio-hazards. More thorough bio-hazard elimination requires professional training and professional strength products. From the study, “People are more likely to contract food borne infections in domestic homes than from eating in restaurants, cafes, and bars. This is because people who work at these establishments have training on how to disinfect properly, unlike most users of domestic kitchens.

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.

Neighbor Turns to Trauma Scene Cleanup Firm For Advice on Cleaning Jumper From Asphalt
Friday, June 10th, 2011A 24-year-old Illinois man decided to jump out of his plane over Spring Hill, Fla. after it started to break apart in midair. The faulty 2010 Czech Sport aircraft “was in a “flat spin” and apparently had lost a wing before it went down,” said Deputies and Hernando County firefighters in the Tampa Tribune. It crashed within a mile of where the man’s body landed, which happened to be on a residential street. The body shattered on impact peppering nearby homes and leaving a watermelon type splatter ingrained on both the asphalt road and a homeowner’s driveway.
One neighbor called Advanced Bio-Treatment requesting advice on proper trauma scene clean up as families were quite affected by this horrific event. ABT warned there were serious bio hazard safety concerns about kids possibly coming in contact with blood and body fluid while outside, and that a proper scene cleanup should be done. Additionally, the need to remove a shadowy stain that constantly reminded neighbors of the spectacular nature of the young man’s death was recommended.
After assessing the approximate 40 yard stain and other visible contamination located on a garage door, mail boxes, walls, and on top of shingled roofs, ABT concluded that there were multiple points of unseen contamination that could come in direct contact with children and adults and recommended a proper trauma scene cleanup. ABT recommended that the entire area be disinfected and offered ideas for the removal or alteration of the stain. Unfortunately, the neighbor that called disregarded the biological nature of the hazard and no one called back.
In this day and age it is very important to protect yourself, your family and others who may visit you by properly cleaning scenes of accidents, death, suicide and other biological hazards. And since many homeowners insurance policies will pay for it, why would you not have a expert cleanup company take care of the particular trauma scene by which you are affected? Last, even the value of your property may be negatively affected if you do not have a professional trauma scene cleaner make it safe.

Bio Hazard Cleanup at Fuel Processing Company
Friday, August 13th, 2010The bio hazard cleaning company arrived in their bright haz-mat suits looking like a group of astronauts. A petroleum processing and propane transfer station had a leak which exploded killing two people in a massive fireball. OSHA had completed their work and now the company needed to exercise efforts to ease tensions within the community and their personnel. This would begin with cleanup efforts designed to remove any traces of the deceased’s bodies.
The members of the crew discussed the chemical properties of the leaked material and whether it may have mixed with any other substances. The bio hazard clean up crew, working in tandem with the OSHA and plant officials designed a cleanup and disinfection plan. At this point, they ascertained what cleaning agents and solvents would be needed to get their job done. The crew then proceeded with the bio hazard cleanup.
After they finished the job, they put together, in compliance with an OSHA request, a report on the details of the cleanup. Since they are part of a company that also conducts crime scene cleanups, accident scene cleanups, homicide scene cleanups, suicide scene cleanups, meth lab cleanups, odor removal cleanups and death scene cleanups not to mention staph infection scene cleanups, they have extensive experience working with law enforcement or other oversight authorities. Of course, the people who wrote the report did not have to construct it while wearing the flashy protective outfits that set them apart from the workers at the plant they had seen.

Drunk Driving At Ballpark Causes Accident Scene Cleanup
Friday, August 6th, 2010Jud and his buddies got to the ballpark about an hour before game time. More than enough time to kick back a few cold beverages while tailgating. Once they got in the game they managed to imbibe at least 3 more 24 oz. beers before they quit selling in the seventh inning. As they were leaving the stadium on the way out, Jud was attempting to take a left turn without the arrow and failed to see another car that had the right of way. The ensuing collision caused various injuries and the loss of blood to one passenger who was dislodged from Jud’s convertible as he failed to have on his seat belt. There were police nearby so their response was quick but the accident worsened an already tight traffic situation among people leaving the stadium after the game.
The police charged Jud with Driving Under The Influence after they gave him field sobriety tests by the side of the road and tested his breath for alcohol content. They also cited him with Failure To Yield. Since his friends were either injured or drunk (or both), no one could drive the car home. They obtained a tow company to take the damaged car away. They also got an accident clean up company to come to this part of the parking lot where blood and debris were located. This accident scene cleanup company had experience in blood scene clean ups, homicide scene clean ups, suicide scene clean ups, meth lab clean ups, odor removal clean ups and death scene clean ups not to mention staph infection scene clean ups so they knew what they were doing.
Jud spent the night in jail and one of his friends had to make a stop at the emergency room. They all were brutally hung over the next day. They all felt the physical and mental toll of their activities from the night before. But the people who arrived at the ballpark on the next day and parked in the lot near the site of the accident saw no hangover from the previous night. The accident scene cleanup company had performed much better than Jud had driven. Hopefully the attendants of the afternoon game would not be replicating Jud’s efforts and give reason for the accident scene clean up company to get additional business at or around the park.
