In homes, workplaces, and public spaces, unexpected and often tragic events can leave behind more than emotional distress. The aftermath of violent incidents, accidents, suicides, or unattended deaths often involves biological hazards that pose significant risks to health. Blood, bodily fluids, decomposition by-products, and other contaminants require far more than general cleaning. They demand a specialist response that is safe, compliant, and respectful.

At Your Option Services Ltd, we provide a professional, discreet, and compassionate trauma and crime scene cleaning service. Our role goes beyond restoring a property — it is about helping people move forward, ensuring environments are safe, compliant with UK law, and free from biohazard risks.

Why Specialist Intervention is Essential

Biohazards can carry serious pathogens, including Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, HIV, MRSA and other harmful bacteria and viruses. Contaminants may be invisible to the naked eye, absorbed into porous materials such as carpets, plasterboard, and upholstery. In cases of unattended deaths, decomposition brings additional risks: odours, pest activity, and further contamination.

Attempting to clean such environments without the correct training, protective equipment, or disposal methods is unsafe and unlawful. All biohazard remediation must comply with strict UK legislation and guidance, including:

• Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 – ensuring employers safeguard staff and others affected by their work.
• Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations 2002 – requiring safe handling, storage, and use of hazardous substances.
• Carriage of Dangerous Goods and Use of Transportable Pressure Equipment Regulations 2009 – covering safe transport of hazardous and infectious waste.
• Environmental Protection Act 1990 & Hazardous Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2005 – governing the segregation, storage, and disposal of hazardous waste, with Duty of Care obligations for waste producers.
• Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 – ensuring workplaces remain safe, clean, and suitable for occupation.
• HSE Guidance on Biological Agents – providing requirements for protection against pathogens.
