A crime scene cleanup business will often hire crime scene cleaners to do its biohazard cleanup work. Usually these cleaners receive training from their employer. It happens that many, in not most, crime scene cleanup businesses are part of a local government monopoly over this type of death cleanup. "Monopoly" means to control a type of business. This means to have control over a specific type of business or product. In this case local county and city employees have control over crime scene cleanup businesses. I have added crime scene cleanup directory to the Internet in response.
Whether a monopoly or not, crime scene cleaners do not usually know when they work for a monopoly. They would insist on higher pay if they knew their employers were government crooks ad crony relations to crooks. My research tells me that crime scene cleaners believe that their employer spends a lot of money finding clients. They also believe that blood has few hazards when they work with it during a trauma cleanup. They have something to go on in this regard, if they do their work carefully. Usually, I've learned, it's in their employer's interest to comfort their cleaning employees when it comes to biohazards in their work. "It's dead," (meaning inert) they're often told.
Oddly, these same employers tell prospective clients that this type of work is very "biohazardous" because of HIV and Hepatitis C, bloodborne pathogens. Although I can find no documentation attesting to injuries suffered by these cleaning practitioners, at least one company attests to having knowledge of a cleaners injury during cleaning. My suspicions are that more crime scene cleaners incur injures driving to and from work than during work. In all, our Occupational Safety and Health Administration's bloodborne protections have more to do with needle stick my medical staff than by crime scene cleaners.
In Orange County this type of monopoly has a deep and wide grasp over this type of trauma cleanup. I know because I have lived in Orange County for over 30 years. My biohazard services began over ten years ago. Since 2005 I have cleaned very few trauma scenes in Orange County. Now I receive a telephone call from someone in need of my blood cleanup services about ever fourteen months.
Caution Always wear gloves, masks, and protective clothing when working with blood or blood products. |
If unable to afford or otherwise use our services, an you absolutely must do blood cleanup for large quantities of blood, visit my Do it Yourself Blood Cleanup web site. Also, I have added some useful information below for this purpose.
Most important of all, before beginning work, keep these three ideas in mind:
We can imagine our steps if we want to keep wet, moist, or dried flaky blood from entering our bodies. By placing paper towels over blood we minimize its spread. By lightly spraying these types of blood conditions with a strong solution of bleach we begin decontaminating it.
Allow for a disinfecting solution like bleach to work a bit at a time. Otherwise, blood may become too wet and begin to move, migrate. When it does, other cleaning problems begin to arise, including demolition issues. For example, placing bleach in a puddle of wet blood may cause draining toward walls, furniture, and other areas. Wet blood will wick up walls, given the opportunity. Of course, construction experts know that dry wall and other building materials must be about one-quarter inch off the floor, but we cannot rely on this type of construction in all places.
The fact remains, prevent blood from draining. Placing paper towels upon and around (berm) a large, wet, blood puddle helps control it. Besides, once paper towels begin soaking up wet blood, your work is well on the way to being completed. Paper towels placed in double or tripled, thick (.3 mil) bags become much easier to handle. Some people pour straight bleach in these bags to begin decontamination of the once free blood.
Some people use a wet-dry vacuum to remove large blood puddles. In these cases, it's usually a good practice to ensure two steps will work when called upon. One, ensure your vacuum sucks in the correct directions and is not set to blow out like a leaf blower. Two, ensure your toilet flushes. Your vacuum cleans out easily enough with bleach and water and cleaning solutions. These materials may go down the sanitary sewer (toilet) safely.
Paper towels for blood cleanup offer an easy way to avoid cross contamination. They offer an easy way to dispose of once wet, moist, or dried flaky blood. My blood cleanup directory has more information and related web pages on these same issues.
Whenever in doubt, call a crime scene cleanup business for blood cleanup information. Also, the Internet has many blood cleanup suggestions offered by universities and government agencies like the CDC.

Many people new to the crime scene cleanup business remain unaware that it runs by local government monopoly in many cases. In fact, the number of government monopolized crime scene cleanup companies expanded dramatically from 2005 to the present. This dramatic increase in government employed owned crime scene cleanup companies was inevitable.
Because of their close contact with bereaved families, coroners' employees need only hand a bogus list of crime scene cleanup companies to bereaved family members. This list consist of those companies either owned by said government employees or accustomed to paying a referral fee for sending bereaved families their way. This relationship creates a monopoly over this biohazard cleanup company, as some chose to call it. We also call this relationship a "crony relationship," much like those found in Russia and many third-world nations today. Tijuana has many such relationships, for a city example.
I have written more about these ideas at Orange County Consumer Fraud and Orange County Fraud. My crime scene cleanup book has a long way to go, but it does hit upon autobiographical material that may shed some light on where I'm coming from as I write.
My efforts to fight back against local government fraud in the crime scene cleanup business have lead to crime scene cleanup related directories. Although I have only one crime scene cleanup directory, I have a few other's with related subject matter. Below I give a hint of what readers will find among this new fleet of combat web sites. Crime scene cleanup capitalism ceased to exist as free enterprise long ago. It may never have existed as a free enterprise, for that matter.
Los Angeles County
Leading off for this flotilla of Internet crime scene cleanup web sites I proudly submit my Los Angeles Crime Scene Cleanup Directory. It sails the Internet in the same ether as my Los Angeles Business Directory. Then there's a Los Angeles Biohazard Cleanup Directory, which will serve as a monumental focal point as it begins to serve in the fight against plague. Once Los Angeles begins to suffer a plague from either natural or man-made disease, this resource's information promises to help those in need. A Los Angeles Crime Scene Cleanup Directory offers similar promise. This web site, as readers have guessed, has a focal point on our Los Angeles County Government's fraud against grieving families. The failure of coroner and administrator employees to honor their no conflict-of-interest pledge must be exposed. Hence, my crime scene business web site proudly displays these web directories.
Included among the above, find my Los Angeles Water Damage Directory. Water causes mischief as well as disease when it's out of control. As a result, I've added my medical waste directory to help with disease and disposal issues.
