Introduction
Accidents, unattended deaths, suicides, crime scenes, or decompositions are deeply traumatic events for everyone involved. Beyond the emotional impact, these situations create serious health hazards—bloodborne pathogens, bacterial contamination, odor, and structural damage.

Why DIY Cleanup Is Risky
Incomplete Decontamination: Without the right tools, chemicals, and protocols, dangerous biological agents (e.g. hepatitis, HIV, MRSA) may remain.
Improper Disposal: Biohazardous waste must follow local, state, and federal regulations. Throwing sharps or contaminated materials into regular waste streams can endanger sanitation workers and violate laws.
Psychological Toll: Exposure to trauma sites without preparation or emotional support can worsen stress, grief, or PTSD.
Liability & Insurance Issues: If a property is not properly sanitized, future occupants or insurers may hold you accountable.
