When something bad happens normally the police are called, but it could be any one of a number of first responders. These first responders include the fire department, crime scene detectives, medical examiners, etc. These professionals arrive at a crime scene and perform crucial tasks in the aftermath of a violent death. However, once they complete their work and clear a scene they leave the cleaning up after someone who dies violently as the responsibility of that person's family. In the past there were very few cleaning companies that would handle that kind of job so the family members ended up having to do it themselves. This is a mortifying prospect for many people who are still trying to deal with the traumatic event itself.
Hence, Bio-One and other crime scene cleaners provide a valuable service to the community and truly help people in their time of need. Often times the first responder brings in a Victim Crisis Unit Representative to advise a surviving victim.These groups provide an invaluable service to the community and give the client information on counseling and other related services including crime scene cleanup.
Savvy providers like Bio-One know that this service is typically covered by insurance and are able to intervene and handle the entire process without burdening the client financially. The primary goal is to provide the peace of mind in knowing that everything is taken care of.
Bio-One will remove the biohazard and get the scene back to its pre-incident condition. There’s absolutely no reason for you to be further burdened with the incident aftermath - you need time to grieve and absorb what has happened. Bio-One’s job is to remove any sign of what happened and any biohazards that result from such an incident.
Federal regulations deem all bodily fluids to be biohazards, so any blood or tissue at a crime scene is considered a potential source of infection. You need special knowledge to safely handle biohazardous material and to know what to look for at the scene. A perfect example relates to blood stains - if there's a thumbnail-size bloodstain on the carpet, there's a good chance that there's a 2-foot-diameter bloodstain on the padding and floorboards beneath it. You can't just clean the carpet and call it a day. You also need permits to transport and dispose of biohazardous waste. Companies like Bio-One that clean up crime scenes have all of the necessary permits, training and knowledge to handle this material properly and protect the client and public at large from the biohazard waste.
Bio-One employs trained professionals to perform this work. Most of our staff have backgrounds in the military, police, fire, medical field such as former EMTs or nurses. Regardless of background, all Crime Scene Technicians need at least three qualities: a strong stomach, the ability to emotionally detach from the work and a sympathetic nature. Why sympathetic? Because cleaning up a crime scene has one very big difference from cleaning up after, say, a hazardous spill at a chemical plant: Grieving family members. People who loved the deceased are often at the scene while the cleaners are scrubbing away. They might be traumatized and need a sympathetic ear. Crime scene cleaners are in the awkward position of having to be stoic in the face of stomach-churning physical remains and yet sensitive in the face of a family's tragedy. Not everyone can do both but Bio-OneTechnicians are experienced, well trained and possess the overriding desire to help people – that’s why we do what we do.
