Crime Scene Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Angus Valley, Austin, TX
What rules do crime scene cleaners follow?
The OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030, protects workers who handle blood and body fluids. Crews also use EPA-registered disinfectants and dispose of contaminated waste as regulated medical waste.
How do I choose a crime scene cleanup company?
Crime scene cleanup companies differ, so ask what training the crew has, how it disposes of waste, what records it gives you and how it keeps the work private. Companies that haul other people's untreated medical waste must register with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.
Does insurance pay for crime scene cleanup?
Many homeowners policies cover crime or death cleanup after the deductible, though some exclude certain cases, such as a crime by a household member. Renters policies often cover cleanup but not the building. Call your insurer before work starts.
What should I tell my insurance company?
