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.

Scene Cleanup: Working With Law Enforcement Agencies

Friday, June 4th, 2010

Homicide scene cleanups must be performed in strict conjunction with the law enforcement agencies running an investigation. In some cases multiple jurisdictions will participate in a single case. If a suspect is wanted by authorities outside the locality of a particular crime, city or county; or a police departments needs help to investigate a difficult case, state or federal officials may share responsibility for the case. In this event, the head of the homicide scene cleaning company’s operation must accurately delineate who is really in charge so that the appropriate release may be obtained.

It is not unusual for the state or the federal level – FBI, for example – to be brought in where the need for sophisticated analysis of particular evidence is required. The homicide scene cleaner company staff must work closely with each law enforcement agency to confirm what materials can be disposed and what needs to be left for these officials to secure. It is the vital interplay between the law enforcement agencies and the homicide scene cleaning team that ensures that vital evidence is neither tampered with or destroyed. It is the professional obligation of the murder scene cleanup operation to maintain this coordinated relationship with law enforcement.

Since homicide scene cleaner companies are also crime scene cleaner companies, murder scene cleaner companies, suicide scene cleaner companies, blood scene cleaner companies or death scene cleaner companies, they should wield the sensitivity to understand that certain materials should not be removed without authorization from law enforcement. Initially learning the specific chain of command for a job will alleviate this kind of problem.

Advanced Bio-Treatment prizes its close relationship with law enforcement professionals and other First Responders. We have established a First Responders Program to show our appreciation. If you are a emergency scene first responder we welcome your participation!

Perfect Wedding Does Not Include Corpse

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

The wedding of Susan Claire Buckingham to Charles Emerson Stewart was scheduled to take place Saturday evening at 7:30 p.m. in Rye, New York. Family photographs were to be taken at 6:30 before the wedding out by the gazebo which overlooked the Hudson River. On Friday night on the bank of the opposite side of the river, two unidentified men deposited the corpse of a man who had been shot twice once in the head and the other right below the heart. On Saturday morning when the custodian of the lodge where the wedding was to take place went out to the gazebo he found the body of the deceased. Then he called the police and got them out there. They began the investigation and processed the crime scene. When the director of the lodge asked the police if they had removed all of the residue from the corpse still at the bank of the river, the detective told him that was not his job. With the family of the bride expected in just a few hours, the chance that members of the wedding party would saunter down to the bank of the Hudson pretty high and his guarantee that all would be picture perfect, the director started to get really anxious.

Fortunately, the detective gave him the name of a homicide scene cleaning company. This death scene cleanup company that conducts crime scene cleanups, suicide scene cleanups, meth lab cleanups, odor removal cleanupsdeath scene cleanups in addition to blood scene cleanups sprang in to action. Arriving by 1:00 p.m. they assessed the condition of the area where the corpse had been found, removed all blood stains, some decomposed tissue and began to use various chemicals to ensure total decontamination of the area. By 4:00 p.m. they concluded that all remnants of the corpse had been duly disposed. The supervisor of the homicide scene cleanup accurately certified that the scene was safe, free from toxic residue and remaining odor and that the place was safe for the wedding.

Later as the director peered out at the gazebo while Mr. Stewart and Miss Buckingham and their respective families stood around the gazebo as the photographer directed their stances and positions, he smiled with great relief. Thanks to the thorough and professional efforts of the death scene cleaning company, his problem was averted and the bride and groom’s special day could go off without a hitch.

Landlord Faces Suicide Cleanup

Thursday, March 25th, 2010

Prior to March 1st John Stephens, a landlord of a multi-unit apartment complex receives a notice from one of his tenants, named Robert, that Robert wishes to exercise his option to terminate the lease at the end of his lease term on March 31. As thirty-day notice is all that is required under the provisions of the lease, Robert satisfies the requisite notice requirement. Expecting him to move out as indicated, Stephens places ads for the upcoming vacancy and interviews several prospective tenants. After a series of interviews and chances to show the apartment, one of the applicants comes in and signs a lease and plans to move in by April the 5th. Stephens contacts Robert and says that he needs to do a walkthrough before the 31st to see if any of the apartment was damaged and then determine how much of the security deposit should be returned to Robert, if any.

When Stephens does not hear back from Robert by the 29th of March, he goes over and knocks on Robert’s door but gets no answer. He returns to his office and calls Robert but no one picks up. He notices Robert’s car is in the parking lot. Finally on the 31st getting nervous that he has insufficient time to get the unit ready for the incoming tenant, he gets the custodian to unlock the door. Before the door is even completely opened, Stephens can tell that an acrid smell permeates the air. When he walks in, he sees blood everywhere and a severely mutilated corpse. Lying beside the corpse is a shotgun. Robert has apparently committed suicide.

Stephens feels sick as does his custodian. After calling the police, he wonders how he is going to get the unit ready for the new tenant coming in on the 5th. That’s when he decides to contact a suicide scene cleaner company. This company which also does accident scene cleanups, crime scene cleanups, homicide scene cleanups, meth lab cleanups, odor removal cleanups and other death scene cleanups is at the unit later that day. They assess the damage, consult with police, begin disposing of loose tissue and scouring the flooring, carpet and drapes to eliminate all the blood and then use additional solvents to sanitize the apartment. Finally they use some sprays and chemicals to remove the odor completely. By the end of the day, Stephens can worry about removing the furniture and other personal property of the deceased. Before the 5th, the apartment is ready for the new tenants. Stephens feels horrible about the incident but is thankful that he had the option of bringing in the suicide scene cleaner company.

The Gritty Reality of Homicide Cleanup

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

The last thing anyone wants to have to contemplate is the need to retain a homicide scene cleanup company. However, if a tragic death occurs at your business or home, you should recognize that law enforcement will probably only process the scene to the extent necessary to obtain and safeguard evidence. If a murder or accidental death has taken place on your property, it will be your responsibility to secure the services of a homicide scene cleaner company or death scene cleaner company.

The homicide scene cleaner company will most likely come in, consult with the police to identify what they have permission to remove. Then they will dispose of all materials that have no evidential value to the police investigation. Subsequently, they will safeguard any precious items belonging to the deceased or family of the deceased. Then they will subject the vicinity to a complete and thorough cleaning. Depending on the length of time a corpse has undergone decomposition, the homicide scene clean up company may also remove flooring, drapes, parts of walls or grout if there is a chance of this type of biohazard decontamination.

Finally, the homicide scene cleaning company will advise the property owner what, if anything else, should be done to secure the premises. At this point the property owner will have taken the crucial step of making his property safe for continued occupancy. This should, at least, in the face of such a tragedy, provide some measure of relief. Furthermore, it could satisfy an insurance company that tends to view these episodes in a more detached, cold fashion.

Trauma Scene Cleaning Requires Sensitivity and Discretion

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

Trauma scene cleaning companies combine a grasp of comprehending the concrete tasks that must be performed with the sensitivities called for by the particular situation. As these trauma scene cleanup companies generally perform suicide scene clean ups, meth lab clean ups, odor removal clean ups and other death scene cleanups in addition to blood scene clean ups, they are exposed to a variety of different situations. Sometimes these trauma scene cleaners are dealing with a meth lab. Sometimes they are called to a retirement home for a staph infection cleanup. Frequently, they have to respond to a site on the highway for an accident scene clean up. And also they must occasionally go to a death scene cleanup site, whether it is a homicide cleanup or a suicide cleanup.

What this means is that a trauma scene cleaning company addresses a variety of different concrete or discrete jobs. It takes different skills to clean up a meth lab than to handle a staph infection cleaning. It also takes a different personal approach. At a meth lab cleanup site, there will usually be no victims at the location to commiserate with or to whom one would be expected to exhibit sympathy. At a retirement facility, a trauma scene cleaner would have to be respectful of the elderly residents and seek to avoid any disruption of the routine at the venue. And at a suicide scene cleanup or homicide scene cleanup, a trauma scene cleaning company would be required to show the utmost of respect and sympathy for the family or friends of the deceased.

The point is that people who work for these companies must bring an assortment of skills to the job. These include trained skills such as the proper way to dispose of a meth lab. They also include personal skills. In many cases, certain individuals are simply much better than others in this regard. But regardless of the innate skills of the employees, strict discretion in dealing with those who are grieving is advised.

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.

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.
