<strong>The</strong> <strong>Importance</strong> <strong>Of</strong> <strong>Effective</strong><br />

<strong>Trauma</strong> <strong>Scene</strong> <strong>Cleaning</strong><br />

It’s a common misconception that crime scene and trauma cleaning is the<br />

responsibility of the police. However, this isn’t the case. Regardless of the<br />

nature of the incident, the responsibility lays with the owners of the premises<br />

where the incident occurred.<br />

It’s important to understand what<br />

trauma cleaning is and what to expect<br />

from such service. <strong>Trauma</strong> cleaning<br />

services are provided by specialist<br />

cleaning teams with experience in<br />

removing bio hazards and returning<br />

the area to a state where it’s fit for<br />

purpose again. It may be required<br />

after a range of incidents, including<br />

violent crimes and accidents resulting<br />

in injury or death. When choosing<br />

trauma cleaning services, there are aspects you should consider.<br />

One of the key aspects to look for is<br />

training. Every member of the<br />

cleaning team should have<br />

undertaken rigorous training. A clear<br />

understanding of Health and Safety<br />

legislation is important. You should<br />

also check that the company has the<br />

required biohazard cleaning and<br />

waste disposal permits.<br />

No two trauma scenes are the same so it’s important to choose the company<br />

you use carefully. While you want the scene cleaned quickly, you shouldn’t<br />

rush into using the first, or the cheapest trauma cleaning London company<br />

you find.
