A crime scene cleanup team comes in following a scene investigation performed by crime scene investigators, firemen and police. This type of cleaning task was once left for families of the victim to handle. It is the crime scene cleanup team's responsibility to decontaminate the scene and restore it to its original condition. All biohazards, including blood and tissue, must be removed based on federal regulations. This type of career requires specific knowledge and involved training. There are schools available for such training.
