What rules do homicide cleaners follow?
The OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030, protects workers who handle blood and body fluids. Waste is handled as regulated medical waste, and companies that haul other people's untreated medical waste register with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.
Can a business or vehicle be cleaned after a homicide?
Yes. Crews clean offices, shops and vehicles. For a vehicle, law enforcement usually processes it first, so confirm it has been released. Businesses can often plan work around staff and customers.
What paperwork is needed for the claim?
