How do you start in the Bio-hazard cleaning field?

First make sure you are aware of what's involved with crime scene cleaning.  You may be cleaning up blood, tissue, skin, bone fragments and other body parts.  This type of cleaning requires someone with a strong stomach and someone who can work wearing a lot of personal protective equipment - suit, gloves, glasses, boots and sometimes even a respirator.  This gear can be cumbersome and cleaners can get hot, sweaty, and uncomfortable while wearing all this gear, especially over extended periods of time.

Next, be aware of your state's laws  

Check with your state's pollution control agency to find out what laws need to be adhered to. There may not be specific guidelines as far as the actual clean-up; however, there are usually standards established on how to dispose of the materials to be cleaned up. Currently, there are no national laws for the crime scene cleaning industry.  However, there are certain governmental regulations that must be followed - including the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standards.  These standards dictate how to handle biohazard materials.
