gross stuff. be advised very graphic. but it happens. Enjoy or not

NOPE, good for them, there's a reason they get paid what they pay, and there's a reason workers comp is high in that field. Employees are quick to file PTSS.

blahhhh

I've done quite a few trauma cleanups over the years, but never got anywhere near that kind of money.

One job I was going to in the morning while working for another company, I was sent there to do a regular carpet job and 1/2 hour before I showed up the customer blew his head off with a rifle. It turned out to be a trauma cleanup the next day instead.

I was tempeded to get into the Trauma cleanup area, I called a company in another state that i know that did trauma, and asked if i could do a ride a long with him. Its rough!!

I can't believe they put before and after pics. Is it really necessary? Does anyone care to know the cause of death... sounds like the guy is a little bit crazy himself

No thanks!! We thought about getting into that line of work, but naaaaa!

I have just over 4 years experience in Bio Recovery, and 7 years experience as a Funeral home assistant. It’s a real commitment to serve people in a time of need. I can say that if you are getting into the industry of crime scene/ trauma cleanup for the money, you are in it for the wrong reasons. Also it takes a lot of time to get consistent work. I do love the job, and would say it has been very rewarding. But when I see companies who post pictures of scenes decontaminated all I can think of is families affected, and how these pictures of love ones lost are inappropriate. There are a few scammers in the industry who post pictures of scenes on Face book and their websites. Posting pictures of any scenes is in poor taste.

well said, that's a big risk to take just to try and promote your company. I rank that right up there with the firefighter that got in trouble a few months ago for taking cell phone pictures of a fatal car wreck he responded to and then put the pictures up on Facebook. This goes beyond a typical professionalism, dealing with death and the emotions of the families that lost someone is an entirely different situation....

The pictures are shocking, I definitely would not like to get into that field.

I agree with the picture posting thing, how ever. I think these photos were posted on a forum dedicated to professionals in a hope to educate not to promote a company name. I do take before during and after photos of every job I do. Primarily for the insurance company. The photos are put on a disk and filed and are not for public view. Not a job for everyone. The money can be very good, but if you are doing it for the money you are not doing it for the right reason. This is a job of compassion and extreme professionalism.

I'm not concerned with the pics being posted on this website, that wasn't directed at the OP. I'm talking about BioHazard Response posting them on their website, which is designed to gain customers. If potential customers can see the site, so can past customers. Even if the bodies aren't in the pictures, you see a picture of your living room floor covered in the remains of a loved one, and it's going to hurt.

Last year, when I didn't even own an extractor, but rented this little thing from time to time http://www.thoro-matic.com/m5.htm I was asked to clean up an apartment for a landlord. The tenant died in bed, elderly, heavy smoker, body not removed for about a week... the body was long gone. So was the mattress, but not much else. The family removed the personal items they wanted and requested the rest be disposed of. The smell of death and cigarettes was pretty overwhelming. I filled a dumpster, washed the walls, painted the walls, cleaned the carpet, even used a product called Odoban ($10 at Home Depot) yet when I was done, some odor still lingered. The landlord said it was good enough, paid me and left two windows open about 3". "It will probably air out in a day" he said. I just feel bad for the next tenant. I wonder if the smell ever went away?
