What is Unattended Death Cleanup?
An unattended death refers to a situation where a person passes away without immediate discovery or medical supervision, sometimes for hours or days. This delay can lead to biological hazards such as decomposition fluids, bloodborne pathogens, and unpleasant odors, all of which pose serious health risks.
Unattended death cleanup involves the professional remediation of the affected environment to remove all biohazardous materials safely. It requires specialized knowledge, equipment, and strict adherence to health and safety regulations to ensure the space is restored to a safe, livable condition.
