Bio-Hazard Cleaning

Cleaning up biohazardous materials like blood, tissue, or other bodily fluids is part of the death scene cleanup process. This could apply to fatalities where decomposition has started or to the biologically tainted scene of a violent death, like a murder, suicide, or accident. To handle biohazardous materials safely, certain understanding is needed.
