Why Professional Unattended Death Cleanup Matters
1. Health Risks from Decomposition
- Rapid Release of Harmful Substances: Decomposition releases bacteria, viruses, bodily fluids, and gases, posing serious health hazards.
- Surface & Air Contamination: Harmful pathogens can linger on floors, furniture, walls, and personal belongings, exposing anyone entering the space to infections like Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, or HIV.
- Need for Proper Equipment: Handling biohazards, like blood and bodily fluids, without protective gear and proper training can endanger your health.
3. Legal & Regulatory Compliance
- Follow OSHA, EPA, and Local Guidelines: Unattended death cleanup must adhere to federal and state standards to protect all involved.
- Avoid Liability Risks: Improper handling of biohazards can result in legal issues, insurance denial, or fines.
- Certified Expertise: T.A.C.T. MOCO’s technicians provide fully compliant cleanup with documentation for insurance or legal purposes.
