What is trauma site sanitization?

• A specialized cleaning process: It is the cleanup of biohazardous materials, such as blood, bodily fluids, and other infectious substances, left behind after events like accidents, suicides, or unattended deaths.

• Restores safety and habitability: The goal is to restore the affected area to a safe, sanitary, and habitable condition. 

 

The sanitization process

• Removal: All biohazardous materials are removed and bagged for proper disposal.
