Crime scene cleanup is a highly specialised and sensitive task requiring professional expertise, compliance with strict Australian regulations, and a compassionate approach. Choosing certified technicians ensures the work is completed safely, thoroughly, and in a manner that respects the investigative process and the people affected.

At Steamatic Australia, our IICRC-certified technicians hold the qualifications and experience needed to handle complex biohazard cleanups.

Certified Biohazard Cleaning Expertise

Crime scenes can involve hazardous biological materials, such as blood and bodily fluids, which may carry pathogens like hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or HIV. In Australia, Work Safe Australia regulates the handling and disposal of biohazards, ensuring public safety and health standards are maintained.

Certified technicians follow these regulations and use advanced methods to clean, disinfect, and properly dispose of biohazardous materials. At Steamatic, our teams are equipped with personal protective equipment (PPE), specialised disinfectants, and tools to ensure compliance and safety at every stage of the cleanup process.

Discretion and Sensitivity

Crime scenes are often emotionally charged environments, requiring a compassionate and professional approach. Certified technicians are trained to work discreetly, respecting the privacy and dignity of affected individuals and communities.

This level of discretion also benefits forensic investigations, as it helps maintain a controlled and calm environment free from unnecessary distractions or media attention.

Adherence to Crime Scene Protocols

Crime scene cleanup must be handled carefully to preserve evidence and avoid interference with forensic investigations. Certified technicians understand the importance of maintaining the integrity of the scene and are trained to work in tandem with law enforcement and forensic teams.

In Australia, crime scene preservation is guided by strict protocols to ensure evidence remains intact for legal proceedings. Steamatic’s technicians are trained to communicate effectively with investigators and adhere to their instructions to avoid disturbing key areas of the scene.

Specialised Equipment and Techniques

Crime scene cleanup requires advanced tools and methods to ensure thorough decontamination and restoration. Certified technicians use hospital-grade disinfectants, negative air pressure systems, and odour-removal technologies, such as hydroxyl generators, to restore affected areas to a safe and habitable state.

For particularly challenging scenarios, such as unattended deaths or arson sites, specialised techniques are crucial for neutralising odours and removing harmful residues. Steamatic’s access to state-of-the-art equipment ensures that even the most complex cleanups are completed effectively.

Compliance with Australian Health and Safety Regulations

Biohazard cleanup in Australia is governed by national regulations, including those set by Work Safe Australia and local environmental agencies. Certified technicians are fully trained in these guidelines, ensuring every aspect of the cleanup, from waste disposal to decontamination is compliant.

Improper handling of hazardous materials can result in legal liabilities for property owners. By engaging certified professionals, you minimise these risks while safeguarding public health.

Collaboration with Forensic Teams

Forensic investigations often require close collaboration between crime scene cleaners and investigative teams. Certified technicians are trained to understand the needs of forensic experts, working with precision to avoid compromising evidence.

Forensic professionals can rely on certified technicians to provide documentation of cleaning methods, maintain detailed records, and ensure the environment remains conducive to ongoing investigations.

Capability to Handle a Wide Range of Scenarios

Certified technicians are prepared to manage a variety of crime scene scenarios, including:

  • Homicides and Suicides: Removing bloodborne pathogens and disinfecting affected areas in line with infection control standards.

  • Arson: Cleaning soot, ash, smoke damage, accelerants and fire patterns.

  • Drug Labs: Decontaminating properties used for the production of illicit substances, such as methamphetamine, by safely removing hazardous chemical residues in accordance with Australian health and safety regulations.

  • Graffiti and Vandalism: Removing paints or chemicals using non-abrasive, surface-safe methods.
