Recent history in Florida
Hurricane Ian in 2022 caused catastrophic storm surge and flooding in southwest Florida. Hurricane Michael in 2018 devastated parts of the Florida Panhandle. Events like these are why unattended death cleanup needs fast, thorough work and careful documentation for insurance.
Regulations
Biohazardous and medical waste are regulated primarily at the state level in Florida, and workplace cleanup is subject to the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard. Cleanup should use trained technicians and compliant disposal.
