Yes. Dried blood can still carry bloodborne pathogens, and scraping or wiping it can release particles. It should be handled in protective gear and disinfected, which is why crews treat old stains as seriously as fresh ones.
The OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030, protects workers who handle blood and body fluids. Crews also use EPA-registered disinfectants and dispose of contaminated waste as regulated medical waste.
It goes by several names, including crime scene cleanup, crime scene cleaning, forensic cleaning, forensic clean up, trauma cleanup and biohazard remediation. The people who do it are crime scene cleaners or forensic cleaners.
The crew starts by finding every spot fluids reached, including under flooring and behind trim. Soaked carpet, padding and drywall are removed. Hard surfaces are disinfected, and the air and odor are treated last.
That is up to law enforcement and the case, and it can vary. Cleanup comes after the release. The length of the cleanup itself depends on the size of the scene and how far fluids spread.
Cleanup can be done discreetly. Ask about unmarked vehicles and quiet work practices when you call. Crews keep what they see private and do not discuss the job with others.
Cleaners remove the hazard and handle the paperwork for insurers.
