Yes. Many calls come from managers who need a vacated unit made safe for the next tenant. The lease and local law decide who pays, and the crew can provide photos and records for the owner.
Common ones include blood after an injury, vomit or feces from a medical event, sewage from a backup, needles, pest droppings and dead animals. Some also come from infectious illness. These call for protective gear and proper disinfection.
The OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030, protects workers who may contact blood or other infectious material. Professional crews follow it for PPE, handling and waste. Employers have their own duties, which safety staff or an attorney can explain.
Close off the affected area and keep staff and customers out. Do not wipe, vacuum or scrub anything. Take photos from a safe distance for your insurer and ask a manager to meet the crew.
Crews clean and disinfect work trucks, vans, buses and equipment cabins after a medical event or a contamination. Soiled mats and cushions are removed, and seats, belts and grab bars are disinfected.
Ask each team what it includes. Many teams offer a scope of work, photos and a summary of the work and waste handling, which insurers and safety staff often ask for. Safety staff or an attorney can say which records an agency may request.
Ask about after-hours work and documentation before anyone enters your building.
