| Public safety agencies need to have a complete understanding why it is
imperative that this new industry, Bio-Recovery Restoration,
should be made available to the public. Public safety agencies need to
know that there are unaddressed issues facing the public when a death or
trauma occurs. Whether by natural causes, homicide, suicide, belated
discovery deaths, as well as when accidents occur, these situations
present health hazards and emotional stress.
The mission of all law enforcement agencies is the protection and
safety of their citizens. Law enforcement personnel are aware of the
Bloodborne Pathogen Standard 29 CFR 1910.1030, but the public is not.
Bloodborne pathogens are potentially infectious, and Universal
Precautions must be taken. When tragedy strikes, there should not be a
conflict of interests when it comes to the health, safety and emotional
support that is needed by your citizens.
At present, there is very little regulation for blood spills in
homes. Furthermore, most family members do not want to, and should not
be, subjected to "clean-up" the blood and/or tissue of their
loved ones. It is a kindness and a courtesy to inform
property owners that there are bio-recovery companies who will
discretely handle these types of incidents. This compassionate aid will
help to relieve shattered family members of a second emotional trauma.
Many progressive police agencies around the country are now providing
this information as part of their "victim's assistance"
programs, and have received high praise from civic and victim support
groups.
