Trauma and Suicide Cleanup in Oakland County: Why Families Should Never Handle This Alone

Trauma and Suicide Cleanup: Why Families Should Never Have to Handle This

After law enforcement and first responders leave the scene of a suicide or traumatic death, families are left facing something no one should have to deal with alone. The scene contains serious biohazardous material — and attempting to address it without professional help puts your health at risk and can compound an already devastating experience.

What Remains After a Trauma Scene

Blood and bodily fluids from a trauma scene contain bloodborne pathogens including:

• Hepatitis B — can survive on surfaces for up to 7 days
• Hepatitis C — transmitted through blood contact
• HIV — present in blood and bodily fluids
• MRSA — antibiotic-resistant, survives on surfaces for weeks

Beyond pathogens, trauma scenes involve:

• Blood spatter that travels far beyond the visible scene — onto walls, ceilings, furniture, and into HVAC vents
• Deep penetration into porous materials — carpet, padding, subflooring, drywall
• Aerosolized particles that require HEPA filtration to remove from the air

The Emotional Reality

Beyond the physical hazards, asking family members to clean up after a traumatic loss is an additional trauma that can have lasting psychological effects. This is work that professionals are specifically trained — and equipped — to carry out so that families do not have to.
