Do I need to be at the property?
Usually not. Many owners set up access by phone with a key holder or property manager. Tell the team who has the keys and whether the property must stay open around the work.
Who cleans up accident scenes?
Emergency crews treat the person and leave. They do not clean. The property owner, employer or insurer needs to book a trauma cleaning crew to remove blood and body fluids and disinfect the space.
What happens to belongings after a traumatic event?
Crews set personal items aside and clean what can be saved. Items soaked with fluids may have to be removed. The team tells you what it finds so you can decide what matters.
Is dried blood still dangerous?
Yes. Dried blood can carry bloodborne pathogens, and wiping or scraping it can release particles. Crews wear protective equipment and disinfect with hospital-grade products.
