East Congress Crime Scene Cleanup: Common Questions Answered

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.

When can crime scene cleanup start?

Only after law enforcement releases the scene. Ask the investigating agency directly. Until then, stay out of the area and do not move or clean anything.

What does the Texas Crime Victims' Compensation Program cover?

It can cover professional cleaning services and supplies, biohazard removal and hazardous waste disposal fees, up to the limit. It does not pay for structural repairs, restoration or replacing stolen or damaged property. Businesses cannot apply.

Who pays for crime scene cleanup in Texas?

Several sources may help. Insurance comes first. The Texas Crime Victims' Compensation Program may pay up to $2,250 for crime scene clean-up after crimes on or after July 14, 2016. In a rental, the lease and local law decide who pays.

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.

Do police clean up crime scenes?

No. Police collect evidence and then release the scene. Blood, bodily fluids and fingerprint powder stay behind. You, as the owner or manager, then book crime scene cleaning with a professional team.
