ANSI/IICRC S540 - Standard for Trauma and Crime Scene Cleanup: 2017

In the early 1990’s a niche industry began to emerge to address the cleanup of human blood and body fluid spills associated with injuries and death scenes. As the public and government agencies became more aware of the health hazards associated with these scenes (both physical and psychological), the demand for trained technicians grew. With only generic regulations to address general work practices, a small but determined trade association, and a handful of selfappointed instructors, the industry has grown to well over a thousand service providers.

The S520 is a procedural standard. It is based on reliable remediation principles, review of available scientific and industry literature and information and practical experience.
