Certified Cleanup Protocol | ANSI/IICRC S540 Explained

Step-by-Step Trauma Cleanup That Follows the Industry’s Highest Standard

At Trauma Cleanup Delray Beach, our cleanup process is built on the ANSI/IICRC S540 standard—the industry’s gold standard for trauma and crime scene remediation. As TCST-certified (Trauma and Crime Scene Technician)professionals, we follow a precise, science-based protocol to ensure safety, compliance, and thoroughness.

Here’s how we do it:

1. Site Assessment - We begin with a detailed evaluation to identify all affected areas and potential risks, including biological contaminants and structural damage.

2. Containment - We isolate the impacted area using plastic sheeting and negative air machines (when needed) to prevent cross-contamination.

3. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) - All technicians wear full PPE, including suits, gloves, respirators, and eye protection, in line with OSHA Bloodborne Pathogen Standards.

4. Cleaning & Disinfection - We remove biohazards and contaminated materials, then clean and disinfect all surfaces using EPA-registered disinfectants approved for trauma scenes.

5. Safe Disposal - All waste is packaged and transported using licensed medical waste disposal services per DOT and EPA regulations.

6. Clearance Testing - We use ATP testing to ensure all surfaces are free of organic contamination, giving clients confidence in the safety of the space.

This certified protocol ensures every scene is restored with safety, compassion, and respect.
