Q: Can a trauma scene be effectively cleaned or remediated?

A: There are many factors to consider when doing this type of trauma damage restoration. How long has the situation existed. What is the level of contamination? What time of the year has this occurred? What is the environment surrounding the event?

Q: Are there any specific requirements associated with cleaning the area?

A: Yes, great care should be demonstrated by only using trained professionals that are aware of the health issues associated with cleaning trauma scenes. A good knowledge of effective cleaning products is also essential. If any effluents are left behind by either failing to search out all the affected areas or insufficient cleaning, not only would the environment be unsafe but there would also be a risk of leaving an odor behind.

Q: Are there any specific requirements associated with dealing with the contaminated materials?

A: Yes there are. If it is a small area of contamination with a minimal amount of cleaning needed as in a cut on a hand or a nose bleed then the cleaning equipment may be disposed of like any other waste. If there is a larger amount of contamination and soft contents or building material has to be removed then it is required that they be disposed of as medical waste and thus an appropriate disposal program must be followed.
