Trauma Scene Cleanup

Trauma scene cleanup handled with care and discretion

HCI Environmental cleans trauma scenes in commercial properties, vehicles, industrial sites and regulated facilities throughout Southern California. Nobody plans for this call. Our certified technicians show up, keep their voices down and work with the property owner, the business, the police department or the first responders on scene until the area is safe to enter again.

Blood and body fluids carry bloodborne pathogens. Anything they touched, from the carpet to the drywall to the chair, is a biohazard until it is removed or decontaminated. Crews work in full PPE inside a contained area and follow OSHA and EPA guidelines from the first look at the scene through packaging, transport and disposal of every bag that leaves.

A live operator picks up at 800.988.4424 around the clock and dispatches a crew to stabilize the scene and start the remediation. When the work is done you get a written record of what was removed and what was done to the space. It is written for your insurance claim, and HCI will deal with the adjuster directly if you ask.

How it works

How trauma scene cleanup works

Four steps from your call to a scene that is safe to re-enter.

1

Call the 24/7 line

Tell the operator the address and what happened. A crew is dispatched. Lock the door, keep staff out and leave everything where it is until the technicians get there.

2

Assessment and plan

Technicians walk the scene and mark what is contaminated: floors, walls, fixtures, furniture and anything fluid reached. From that they set the plan, including what comes out of the building and how to keep the rest of the property running.

3

Containment and remediation

The area is sealed off. Biohazards are removed under OSHA and EPA guidelines. Hard surfaces are decontaminated. Carpet, padding and anything else that cannot be is cut out, bagged and transported for disposal.

4

Documentation

You get the record of the remediation, the disposal and the services performed. It goes to the adjuster and into your file.

What does trauma scene cleanup involve?
Getting the blood, body fluids and everything they contaminated out of the space after a death, an assault or an accident. That means sealing the area, removing and decontaminating, then packaging, hauling and disposing of what came out. Then the paperwork.
How quickly can you respond?
Call 800.988.4424. A live operator answers 24/7/365 and dispatches a crew from Corona or San Jose on that call. How long until the truck arrives depends on where you are and what the scene needs.
Do you handle unattended death and suicide cleanup?
Yes, both, in commercial and regulated buildings. An unattended death usually means decomposition has reached the floor and the structure under it, so the crew checks how far the contamination traveled before deciding what has to come out. The work is done quietly and under OSHA and EPA guidelines.
Why not have maintenance staff clean it?
Because a mop and a trash bag leave pathogens in the room and put your employee in contact with them. Bloodborne pathogen work takes trained technicians, the right PPE and disposal through a regulated channel. That is what protects the next person who walks in.
Do you help with insurance claims?
Yes. The remediation, disposal and services performed are all written up, and HCI can send that to your insurance company and answer their questions directly.
Do you clean vehicles and jail cells?
Yes. Squad cars, fleet vehicles, jail cells and holding areas are regular work for HCI. Agencies also call for fingerprint powder residue after forensic processing and for tear gas residue in rooms and vehicles.
Can you work in an occupied building?
Yes. The crew seals off the unit, the office or the section of hallway that is affected. The rest of the building stays open. Nobody re-enters the contained area until it is cleared.
