Suicide Cleanup FAQ for University District, Seattle, WA: Who Cleans, Who Pays
What does suicide survivor mean?
A suicide survivor is someone who has lost a person to suicide, sometimes called a loss survivor. It can also mean a person who survived an attempt. If you are struggling, you are not alone. Call or text 988 any time to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.
What should I ask a suicide clean up company before hiring?
Ask how it contains the area, what protective gear it uses and how it disposes of waste. Ask what the price includes and whether you get records for an insurer. Ask how it treats odor and what happens if a smell remains.
Can I clean up after a suicide myself?
It is not recommended. Fluids can carry bloodborne pathogens, and soaked materials hold odor deep below the surface. Cleanup is also emotionally hard. A professional team protects your health and spares you from seeing the room.
I found someone at home. What do I do first?
Call 911 and leave the room. Do not touch anything. Once the authorities have finished and released the property, a cleanup team can take over. Be gentle with yourself, and know that 988 offers support by call or text if you need to talk.
Who pays if the person was a tenant?
Lease terms and local law decide. A landlord may handle cleanup through the owner's insurance, or the tenant's estate or renters policy may apply. A landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can explain the details for a specific case.
What safety standards do cleanup crews follow?
Workers who clean up blood and body fluids are covered by the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030. It calls for protective equipment, safe handling and proper disposal. Ask any team what training it has and how it deals with waste.
