Who Should You Call After A Traumatic Event?

After a death, suicide, or trauma, this situation is often difficult and overwhelming time for family and friends of the victim. Not only is there the emotional toll of the situation, but there is also the physical aftermath that needs to be dealt with. Professional cleaning after such an event is critical, and attempting to do it yourself can pose serious dangers to your health and even your emotional well-being, in a lot of cases.

 

Biohazard Cleanups Usually Require Professionals

You may be tempted to try cleaning up after a death, suicide, or trauma yourself, but it actually requires specialized knowledge, equipment, and products to properly sanitize and decontaminate the area. This is why it is recommended to call a biohazard cleaning company,  such as T.A.C.T. North Atlanta, that specializes in handling biohazard cleaning and removal. We have the necessary training, experience, and certifications to safely and thoroughly clean and disinfect the area.

 

One of the most significant dangers of attempting to clean up after a death, suicide, or trauma yourself is the risk of exposure to biohazardous materials. Blood, bodily fluids, and other hazardous materials can be present, and they can contain pathogens such as bacteria and viruses that can cause illness or infection. Without proper training and equipment, attempting to clean up these materials can put you at risk for exposure and infection. Improper disposal of the biohazardous materials may also pose a threat to people in the community, as well as the environment. 

 

Emotional distress, increased anxiety following a traumatic death

Another danger of attempting to clean up after a death, suicide, or trauma yourself is the risk of emotional trauma. Cleaning up after a traumatic event can be an emotionally taxing experience, especially if you are a friend or family member of the deceased. This can lead to psychological distress, such as anxiety and depression, which can be detrimental to your mental health.

 

Professional biohazard cleaning companies like T.A.C.T. North Atlanta are both compassionate and trained to handle the emotional and psychological aspects of cleaning up after a death, suicide, or trauma. We understand the importance of treating the situation with sensitivity and respect and are equipped to deal with any emotional challenges that may arise during the cleanup process.

 

Biohazardous Material Disposal

In addition to the physical and emotional dangers of attempting to clean up after a death, suicide, or trauma yourself, there are also legal risks. Improperly disposing of biohazardous materials can result in fines and legal consequences, and attempting to clean up the area without the proper training and equipment can be seen as a breach of health and safety regulations.
