Common ones include blood after an injury, vomit or feces from a medical event, sewage from a backup, needles, pest droppings and dead animals. Some also come from infectious illness. These call for protective gear and proper disinfection.
Ask each team what it includes. Many teams offer a scope of work, photos and a summary of the work and waste handling, which insurers and safety staff often ask for. Safety staff or an attorney can say which records an agency may request.
