What safety standards do cleanup crews follow?

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.

Yes. Landlords, property managers and employers can hire cleanup of a unit or workplace. The team works discreetly so other tenants or coworkers are protected. Ask what documentation you get with the work.
What happens to personal belongings and keepsakes?
Photos, letters, jewelry and papers are set aside, cleaned when possible and returned to the family. Tell the team what to look for. Items that cannot be made safe are removed, and the team explains why.
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?
