New Head of Sales boosts SafeGroup team for growth push
By: Mike Drake
3 min readSafeGroup is one of the UK’s leading crime scene cleaning specialists. We work with emergency organisations and other agencies to ensure areas affected by traumatic incidents are cleaning safely and sensitively.
Our specialist bio-hazard cleaning teams can be deployed at any time of the day or night. We use the latest techniques to remove all hazardous material and substances and arrange for their safe and sensitive disposal.
Crime scenes and locations affected by traumatic incidents must be cleaned in a timely way. Biological material can be hazardous to health. Our professional trauma cleaners always use the correct protective clothing, equipment, chemicals and techniques.
SafeGroup teams are also trained to manage the technical challenges and pressures associated with crime scene cleaning. They are experienced at working in conditions that might upset conventional cleaning staff.
All activities are carried out in accordance with safe systems of work and site-specific risk assessments and method statements.
Our specialist cleaning teams regularly carry out crime scene cleaning tasks for the emergency services, the prison service, social services, social landlords, retailers, leisure companies, and transport companies.
SafeGroup has the expertise required to clean many different types of crime scenes, including physical assaults, arson attacks, collisions involving vehicles and incidents where people have self-harmed.
For example, we have been called in to clean the inside of police cars and prison cells. We can deploy these specialist teams anywhere in the UK, from our four depots in London, Birmingham, Manchester and Livingstone in Scotland.

Once a crime scene is processed for evidence and released by police or the coroners’ office, the property owner or premises manager is responsible for making sure it is professionally cleaned.
This work must be carried out in a way that complies with the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002.
Property owners and facilities managers have a legal duty to protect the health and safety of employees and others who have access to the property. This is why they should commission professional crime scene cleaners to do the work.
Any incident involving a biohazard should be recorded as part of a health and safety plan. The plan should evaluate the risk of infection from exposure to body fluids and detail the procedure for decontaminating the area and removing the hazardous waste.
It is also important to complete a risk assessment to establish how likely your premises are to require crime or trauma scene cleaning and then to act on that information.
Here are six aspects of a crime scene cleaning service you can expect from SafeGroup.
