Dawson Murder Scene Cleanup: Common Questions Answered
Can a business or vehicle be cleaned after a homicide?
Yes. Crews clean offices, shops and vehicles. For a vehicle, law enforcement usually processes it first, so confirm it has been released. Businesses can often plan work around staff and customers.
What rules do homicide cleaners follow?
The OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030, protects workers who handle blood and body fluids. Waste is handled as regulated medical waste, and companies that haul other people's untreated medical waste register with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.
What should I tell the insurance company?
Say what happened, when, and that the scene has been released. Ask what the policy covers and which documents are needed. Take photos if you can and keep every receipt.

It covers professional cleaning services and supplies, biohazard removal and hazardous waste disposal fees, within the limit. Structural repairs, restoration and replacing stolen property are not covered. Businesses and organizations cannot apply.
When can homicide cleanup begin?
Only after law enforcement releases the scene. In Texas, a justice of the peace or a medical examiner, depending on the county, looks into certain deaths. Ask the police when the property can be entered.
