Yes. Blood can carry bloodborne pathogens such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV, so it is treated as a biological hazard. Cleaning it up follows the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030, when workers are involved.
Bleach can disinfect some hard surfaces when it is used by the label, but it does not reach blood that has soaked into porous materials. It should never be mixed with other cleaners because the fumes can be dangerous. A cleanup team uses a full process.
Call 911 first if anyone is hurt. Keep people and pets away from the blood, do not wipe it up bare-handed and take photos if you can. Write down what the blood touched so the crew knows where to look.
Blood cleanup covers any spill, from an accident or a medical event. Crime scene cleanup is the larger job after a violent crime and often includes blood, bodily fluids and other residue. The safety rules are the same.
Items heavily soaked with blood or that could release liquid blood are handled as regulated medical waste. A small amount on a lightly stained item is treated differently. A blood cleanup company can sort what must be removed and how.
Odor usually fades once all the source material is gone. If blood soaked into porous materials, those materials are removed and the area is treated. Strong smells can mean contamination remains beneath the surface.
