SYSK Selects: How Crime Scene Cleanup Works

# Crime Scene Cleanup Summary

Josh and Chuck dive into the gritty reality of crime scene cleanup work, exploring what crime scene decontamination technicians actually do and the challenges they face on the job. They break down the three main types of scenes these workers encounter—violent deaths, decomposing bodies, and contaminated meth labs—along with the specialized equipment, hazmat suits, and disposal procedures required to properly restore a space. The episode also covers the surprising psychology behind hiring for this difficult profession, including why turnover is so high and the emotional toll it takes on workers who make between thirty-five and fifty grand a year doing work that most people never think about.
