# Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Marketing Kit

**Skill #217 | Version 1.0 | Category: Home Services Marketing — Trades Bundle v2 | Price: $29 one-time**

## What This Skill Does

Generates a complete, compliance-ready marketing system for licensed biohazard and crime scene cleanup companies — service acquisition campaigns, service pages with structured data, review management templates, digital ads, and B2B referral letters. Every output enforces the 7 compliance moats that generic AI tools miss and that create real criminal, regulatory, and federal liability for operators in this highly regulated industry.

No generic AI tool understands that marketing "OSHA-compliant biohazard cleanup" without a documented Bloodborne Pathogens Exposure Control Plan on file is a multi-violation OSHA citation scenario, that transporting blood and infectious waste from a Nevada cleanup site requires a Nevada NDEP regulated medical waste transporter registration under NAC 444.916, that disturbing human remains without Clark County coroner release under NRS 451.030 is a gross misdemeanor, that performing meth lab decontamination without Nevada DPBH certification is illegal under NRS 441A.640, or that "we handle your insurance claim" is unlicensed public adjusting under NRS 685A.170. This skill does — and that knowledge is what makes a biohazard company's marketing credible to insurance adjusters, property managers, law enforcement, and families calling in the worst moments of their lives.

## The 7 Compliance Moats

| # | Moat | What Gets Blocked | Why It Matters |
|---|------|-------------------|----------------|
| 1 | **OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Exposure Control Plan Gate** | "OSHA-compliant cleanup" without written ECP; "trained biohazard techs" without BBP records; "protective equipment always used" without documented supply chain | OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1030: written ECP required at every worksite; Hep B vaccination offer + documentation required; $16,131/serious violation; most common inspection trigger in this industry |
| 2 | **Nevada NDEP Medical Waste Transporter Registration Gate** | "licensed medical waste disposal"; "EPA-approved disposal"; "we handle all biohazard disposal" without NDEP permit # | NAC 444.916: NDEP registration required to transport regulated medical waste (blood, OPIM, sharps) from any Nevada site; without it = unlicensed hazardous material transport |
| 3 | **NRS 451 Coroner Release / Human Remains Gate** | "complete unattended death cleanup"; "we remove all biological material"; "full death scene remediation" | NRS 451.030: Clark County coroner release required before disturbing suspected human remains; NRS 451.020: unlawful treatment of remains = gross misdemeanor; partial/decomposed remains trigger mandatory CCME contact |
| 4 | **NRS 441A.640 Meth Lab Decontamination Gate** | "we clean meth labs"; "DEA-cleared meth remediation"; "drug lab cleanup specialists" | NRS 441A.640: Nevada DPBH certification required for all meth lab decontamination personnel; independent clearance test by licensed EHS required; "DEA-cleared" is not a cleanup credential |
| 5 | **ABRA / Credentialing Accuracy Gate** | "ABRA certified"; "nationally certified biohazard company"; "IICRC certified crime scene cleaner" | ABRA certification is membership + training based and verifiable; IICRC has no crime scene/biohazard credential (AMRT = mold, not biohazard); false credentialing = FTC §5 deceptive per se |
| 6 | **Nevada Crime Victim Compensation / Insurance Gate** | "your insurance covers this"; "we work with all insurance"; "guaranteed coverage for crime victims" | NRS 217.280: Nevada Crime Victim Compensation covers cleanup for qualifying victims — most families don't know this; "we handle your claim" without scoping = NRS 685A.170 unlicensed public adjusting |
| 7 | **Active Investigation / Scene Entry Gate** | "immediate crime scene response"; "we arrive when you call"; "same-day service guaranteed for all scenes" | Law enforcement scene release required before remediation; LVMPD/FBI processing takes 4–72 hours; HAZWOPER 29 CFR 1926.65 applies at clandestine lab scenes; entry without release = federal obstruction risk |

### Moat 1 — OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Exposure Control Plan Gate [ANCHOR MOAT]

**Why "OSHA compliant" in biohazard marketing is almost always false:**

OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1030 — the Bloodborne Pathogens Standard — is the single most-cited federal standard in the biohazard cleanup industry. It requires a written, site-specific Exposure Control Plan (ECP) identifying every task that involves exposure to blood or OPIM (Other Potentially Infectious Materials), documenting the engineering controls and PPE assigned to each task, and maintaining records of annual employee training and hepatitis B vaccination offers.

Most biohazard companies market "OSHA-compliant" because they read OSHA's BBP overview once and bought Tyvek suits. That's not compliance — it's marketing copy. A company with no written ECP is a serious citation ($16,131 per violation) waiting for its first OSHA inspection or workers' comp claim.

**What the ECP must include (and what your marketing can verify):**
- Exposure determination: list of all job classifications and tasks involving blood/OPIM
- Engineering controls: sharps disposal containers, biohazard bags (red, with the biohazard symbol — per OSHA 1910.1030(g)(1)(i)), sealed transport containers
- PPE chain: minimum Tyvek coveralls, chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile + outer), N95 respirator (or PAPR for confined spaces with high aerosolization risk), safety glasses/goggles, boot covers
- Hepatitis B vaccination: offered within 10 days of assignment; declination forms for those who refuse; post-exposure evaluation protocol
- Training records: annual training, documented per employee, covering all 1910.1030 content
- Record retention: 30 years (OSHA medical records standard)

**What ABRA-member and properly trained operators can market:**
- "Written OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Exposure Control Plan on file" (specific, verifiable)
- "Annual BBP training documented for all field technicians" (specific, verifiable)
- "Hepatitis B vaccination program in place per 29 CFR 1910.1030" (specific, verifiable)
- "Regulated biohazard waste transported by NDEP-registered carrier" (links to Moat 2)

**What gets blocked:**
- "OSHA-compliant biohazard team" without citing which OSHA standard and what the compliance consists of
- "Professionally trained technicians" without specifying BBP training documentation
- "Full PPE always used" without specifying the PPE components and when respiratory protection is required vs. recommended
- "Safe biohazard disposal" without specifying the disposal chain (NDEP-registered transporter, licensed treatment/storage/disposal facility)

### Moat 2 — Nevada NDEP Medical Waste Transporter Registration Gate

**Why "licensed disposal" is almost always false in Nevada biohazard marketing:**

Nevada NRS 444.505–444.545 and NAC 444.900–444.977 establish a comprehensive medical waste management program administered by the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP). Under this program, any company that generates, stores, treats, or transports regulated medical waste must be registered with NDEP as a medical waste generator/transporter.

Regulated medical waste in Nevada includes: liquid or semi-liquid blood or other potentially infectious materials, items contaminated with blood or OPIM that would release liquid blood if compressed, sharps contaminated with blood or OPIM, pathological waste, microbiological waste, and isolation waste.

A biohazard cleanup scene produces all of these. If the company bagging and removing that material is not NDEP-registered as a medical waste transporter — and the vast majority of Nevada biohazard operators are not — then every job they do involves unlicensed hazardous waste transport.

**NDEP registration number format:** Nevada medical waste transporter permits include a facility/transporter number. A legitimate operator can cite: "NDEP Medical Waste Transporter Registration #[NV-MWT-XXXXXX]" — if they can't provide this number, they don't have the registration.

**What gets blocked:**
- "EPA-approved disposal" — EPA does not approve individual biohazard disposal operations; this credential doesn't exist in this context
- "Licensed medical waste disposal" without NDEP registration #
- "Environmentally safe biohazard disposal" without specifying the disposal chain (NDEP-registered transporter → licensed TSDF)
- "We handle all disposal" without specifying that blood/OPIM are transported by NDEP-registered carrier to a licensed treatment facility

---

### Moat 3 — NRS 451 Coroner Release / Human Remains Gate

**Why "complete death scene cleanup" can be a criminal misdemeanor:**

Nevada NRS 451 governs the disposition of human remains. NRS 451.030 requires that before any human remains (or suspected human remains) are disturbed, transported, or disposed of, the Clark County Medical Examiner (CCME) must be notified and must authorize or complete their investigation.

In an unattended death or trauma scene, "human remains" can include:
- Decomposed soft tissue (advanced decomposition, adipocere, mummification)
- Fragmented bone or tooth material
- Desiccated tissue
- Any biological material where human origin is ambiguous

NRS 451.020 makes unlawful treatment of human remains a gross misdemeanor — up to 364 days county jail and $2,000 fine.

**The scenario that creates exposure:** A biohazard company arrives at an unattended death scene, starts cleanup immediately, and removes biological material that turns out to include partial remains not identified in the coroner's initial walk-through. This is not hypothetical — it has happened in Clark County. The company now has destroyed potential evidence (criminal liability) and violated NRS 451.020 (criminal liability). Their marketing promise of "complete scene restoration" is what got them in the door before coroner clearance.

**What legitimate operators market:**
- "We begin remediation after Clark County Medical Examiner clearance is confirmed"
- "Unattended death scenes: we coordinate with CCME on scene release timing"
- "All biological material sorted and documented before removal; suspected remains trigger mandatory CCME notification"

**What gets blocked:**
- "We remove all biological material" without coroner clearance caveat on unattended death scenes
- "Complete death scene cleanup from arrival to completion" without noting law enforcement/coroner release requirement
- "We restore the scene completely" without specifying that suspected remains trigger CCME contact

---

### Moat 4 — NRS 441A.640 Methamphetamine Lab Decontamination Gate

**Why "we clean meth labs" without Nevada DPBH certification is illegal:**

Nevada NRS 441A.640 is one of the most specific state laws in the entire biohazard/hazmat space. It establishes a state certification program for methamphetamine lab decontamination and requires:
1. All personnel performing meth lab decontamination must be certified by the Nevada Division of Public and Behavioral Health (DPBH)
2. Post-remediation clearance sampling must be performed by a licensed environmental health specialist (not the cleanup company)
3. A clearance certificate must be issued before the property can be re-occupied
4. Clark County CCHS (Southern Nevada Health District) maintains the database of clandestine drug lab sites — any property on this list cannot be re-rented or sold without clearance documentation

**"DEA-cleared" is not a cleanup credential:** Drug Enforcement Administration "clearing" of a clandestine lab site means law enforcement has completed evidence collection and released the scene for remediation. It is NOT a certification that the cleanup operator is qualified to perform the remediation. The DEA does not certify cleanup companies. This credential appears on numerous Las Vegas biohazard company websites and is categorically false.

**What DPBH-certified operators can market:**
- "Nevada DPBH-certified meth lab decontamination technicians" (verifiable credential)
- "Post-remediation clearance by licensed environmental health specialist" (NRS 441A.640 compliant)
- "SNHD clandestine drug lab database clearance documentation provided" (verifiable)

**What gets blocked:**
- "DEA-cleared meth lab remediation specialists" — fake credential
- "We clean meth labs" without citing Nevada DPBH certification
- "Drug lab cleanup" without post-remediation independent clearance testing

---

### Moat 5 — ABRA / Credentialing Accuracy Gate

**The biohazard certification landscape — what's real and what's marketing:**

The biohazard/trauma scene cleanup industry has fewer verified credentialing bodies than most trades, which creates a high rate of fabricated or misrepresented credentials.

**Real credentialing bodies:**
- **ABRA (American Bio Recovery Association):** Membership-based + training-based; member companies are listed at abra.org; "ABRA member" is verifiable; "ABRA certified" technically means completing their training program
- **IICRC:** Does NOT have a crime scene or biohazard-specific certification; AMRT (Applied Microbial Remediation Technician) covers mold/microbial remediation — not blood/OPIM cleanup; marketing "IICRC certified biohazard cleanup" or "IICRC certified crime scene cleaner" = false credential
- **OSHA 30-Hour General Industry:** A general safety card, not a biohazard certification; "OSHA 30 certified" does not mean BBP-trained or biohazard-qualified
- **NIDS (National Institute of Decontamination Specialists):** Real credentialing body for decontamination; certification verifiable through their registry
- **Hazmat Technician (HAZWOPER 40-Hour):** OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120 — legitimate for sites with known hazardous chemical release (clandestine labs, chemical spills); NOT equivalent to BBP certification for biological scenes

**What gets blocked:**
- "IICRC certified crime scene cleaner" — credential does not exist
- "IICRC certified biohazard specialist" — credential does not exist
- "DEA certified cleanup team" — credential does not exist
- "Nationally certified" without naming the credentialing body and providing member/cert number
- "OSHA certified" — OSHA does not certify companies or individual workers; OSHA sets standards

### Moat 6 — Nevada Crime Victim Compensation / Insurance Gate

**The most underutilized and misrepresented funding source in biohazard marketing:**

Nevada NRS 217.200–217.400 establishes the Nevada Crime Victim Compensation Program, administered by the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services. Under NRS 217.280, qualifying crime victims (and, in homicide cases, immediate family members) can receive compensation for expenses directly related to the crime — including crime scene cleanup and trauma remediation.

Most biohazard companies either don't mention this or say vaguely "your insurance may cover this." This creates a massive trust gap. The family calling at 2AM after a homicide doesn't know NRS 217 exists. The company that explains it specifically — "Nevada's Crime Victim Compensation Program under NRS 217.280 may cover 100% of cleanup costs for qualifying crime victims; we can provide documentation; contact DHHS at 1-800-522-0627" — is immediately the most trustworthy caller in their darkest moment.

**The insurance reality (nuanced):**
- **Homeowner's insurance:** May cover biohazard cleanup under "vandalism" or "sudden and accidental" provisions; suicide coverage varies by policy (some policies exclude self-inflicted events); always read the policy exclusion schedule; NEVER tell a client "your homeowner's covers this" without reviewing the declarations page
- **Renter's insurance:** Rarely covers landlord's biohazard cleanup costs; landlord must file through property insurance
- **Crime Victim Compensation (NRS 217):** Most accessible for homicide, assault, domestic violence scenes; covers cleanup up to program limits; requires police report and DHHS application
- **Self-pay (most common):** Families often pay out of pocket; transparent pricing and payment plans matter

**Insurance coordination ≠ public adjusting:** Helping a client document a scope of work and submit it to their insurance carrier is legitimate. Negotiating the claim amount on behalf of the client = unlicensed public adjusting under NRS 685A.170. Biohazard companies can document; they cannot negotiate.

**What gets blocked:**
- "Your insurance covers this" — vague and often false
- "We work with all insurance companies" — implies coverage that may not exist
- "We handle your claim" — NRS 685A.170 unlicensed public adjusting if it means negotiating

---

### Moat 7 — Active Investigation / Scene Entry Gate

**Why "immediate crime scene response" is both legally risky and operationally false:**

Active crime scenes under LVMPD or FBI investigation cannot be entered by cleanup crews until scene release — a formal authorization from the investigating agency's scene commander. Release timing depends on crime complexity:
- Minor assault, no fatality: 4–12 hours
- Homicide: 24–48 hours
- Multi-victim or complex crime: 48–72+ hours
- Active federal investigation: indefinite

Entering before release risks:
1. **Evidence destruction:** Federal obstruction of justice charges under 18 U.S.C. §1519 (falsifying, concealing, or destroying evidence in a federal investigation)
2. **Civil liability:** Destroying evidence that a victim's family needs for a wrongful death lawsuit
3. **OSHA HAZWOPER exposure:** Clandestine drug lab scenes (common at homicide locations in Clark County) have residual chemical hazards requiring HAZWOPER protocols before entry — 29 CFR 1926.65

**What legitimate operators market:**
- "We coordinate directly with LVMPD and Clark County coroner on scene release timing"
- "Response means we're ready when law enforcement releases — 24/7 dispatch, immediate deployment on release"
- "We do not enter active investigation scenes — protecting evidence protects our clients"

**What gets blocked:**
- "Immediate crime scene response" implying same-hour entry for all scenes
- "We arrive when you call" without noting law enforcement release requirement
- "Same-day crime scene cleanup guaranteed" — may not be legally possible for 48+ hours after incident
