The OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030, protects workers who handle blood and body fluids. Crews also use EPA-registered disinfectants and dispose of contaminated waste as regulated medical waste.

Crime scene cleanup companies differ, so ask what training the crew has, how it disposes of waste, what records it gives you and how it keeps the work private. Companies that haul other people's untreated medical waste must register with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.
