TRAUMA & ACCIDENT CLEANING
order to discharge their responsibilities properly, they should use specialist cleaning businesses, such as ourselves, who have been properly trained on an accredited training scheme.
Each job requires a different approach, and a range of cleaning tools and products. There are specific approaches for various scenarios and its critical our team understand the process and protocols, and the science behind the method. Our cleaners work in a specific way to avoid cross contamination of bodily fluids, whilst keeping their own safety in check.
Many clients believe that the emergency services will manage the aftermath of a trauma scene and are alarmed to learn that it’s actually their responsibility.
It is a common misconception that crime scene cleaning and trauma cleaning is the responsibility of the police. Sadly, this is not the case. At a time when it is often the last thing anybody would want to think about, the organisation of crime scene cleaning and trauma cleaning is the responsibility of the business or individuals involved.
We use the latest products, materials and techniques to ensure that the area is thoroughly de-contaminated, removing every trace of biohazard, leaving the environment clean and safe. All waste is packaged and removed safely and securely and is disposed of using specialist external facilities. Once the work is completed, a full and final examination will be carried out and we will give you a certificate that confirms all works have been actioned to the highest possible standard.
I’m incredibly proud of the work we carry out and the level of professionalism and sensitivity that our team consistently demonstrate. It is a tough job and its definitely not for everyone. We now have an established team in place who understands every aspect of the job on a practical and emotional basis. We have honed and developed our approach to this type of work and now have the right processes, techniques and materials in place to ensure the work is completed to the exacting standards that are needed.

CASE STUDY The SCS trauma cleaning team were called out to a job in Liverpool for a housing association where an elderly lady had been found. She had passed away several weeks earlier and her body had begun to decompose.
Her home, in a high-rise apartment block, was found to be heavily covered in blood across the hallway, bedroom and bottom of the bed.
The team quickly set about removing larger items of furniture contaminated with blood from the flat before tackling the excessive blood stains.
Trauma Cleaning Team Manager, Nathan Brennan supervised the clean alongside his colleague. He said: “There was evidence of blood in several areas so we had to remove any furniture, carpet and flooring affected, storing items securely in colour-coded bags. The blood had soaked in heavily across the floor and so heavy cleaning below the tiles, using special agents, was carried out until there was no evidence of blood.”
Dressed in disposable suits with gloves and a mask, the team completed the clean, swiftly and thoroughly.
Nathan added: “Of course, we recognise the sensitive nature of this type of job and are keen to complete our work to the highest standards, reacting quickly and enabling the family or landlord to come into the property without the environment adding to any distress.”
The works were signed off by the housing association client and the team, with work completed within a four hour timeframe.
