Everyone steps away. The crew sets up barriers and puts on gloves, eye protection, masks and protective clothing.

Waste is packed for regulated disposal. A final visual check makes sure nothing was missed.

Workers who may touch blood or other body fluids are covered by the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030. Crews wear PPE, use EPA-registered disinfectants and handle waste under medical waste rules.
It is the removal and disinfection of blood, vomit, urine, feces and other body fluids from surfaces and materials. Cleaners wear protective gear, remove soaked items and dispose of waste safely. The aim is to stop germs from spreading.
There is no single best product. Waste is removed first, then an EPA-registered disinfectant is used by the label on the surface in question. Porous materials such as carpet and mattresses often have to be removed rather than cleaned.
Usually not when the fluid has soaked through. Mattresses, couches and padded furniture absorb liquid deep inside, and surface cleaning does not reach it. Soaked items are typically removed and disposed of as waste.
Blood and other body fluids that may carry germs are treated as biohazards. Some, such as blood, can carry bloodborne pathogens like hepatitis B and HIV. Cleanup crews handle all of them with the same protection, because the source of a fluid is not always known.
Call 911 first if anyone is hurt. Keep people and pets away from the area, open a window if you can, and do not wipe or spray the spill. Take photos for insurance and note what the fluid touched.
Calls are answered 24/7, and the job is planned on the call.
