What cleanup may involve
The scope can include identifying affected areas, controlling access, removing materials that cannot be appropriately cleaned, cleaning and disinfecting suitable surfaces, and addressing remaining contamination or odor concerns. The exact approach depends on the incident and the property.
Before cleanup begins
Do not enter a restricted scene or disturb evidence. Wait until the appropriate authority has released the area. If there may be sharps, blood, bodily fluids or unknown contamination, avoid unnecessary contact and keep other people and pets away from the affected space.
