What safety standards do cleanup crews follow?
Workers who clean up blood and body fluids are covered by the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030. It calls for protective equipment, safe handling and proper disposal. Ask any team what training it has and how it deals with waste.
Does homeowners insurance cover suicide cleanup?
Many homeowners policies cover death cleanup after the deductible, though some exclude certain causes. Read the policy closely or ask the insurer directly. Renters policies often cover belongings but not the building. Call before cleanup starts and keep every receipt.
