What should technicians notify their company manager about?

Notifying the company manager about illegal findings is crucial for a number of reasons. First and foremost, illegal activities or evidence of crime may have significant legal implications. When technicians encounter items, substances, or evidence associated with criminal activity, it is imperative that this information is escalated to management so that the appropriate legal protocols can be followed. Failure to report such findings could result in consequences for both the technician and the company.

Additionally, reporting illegal findings ensures that law enforcement can be involved if necessary, allowing for the proper investigation and handling of the situation. Companies that handle trauma and crime scene cleanup have a responsibility to comply with laws and regulations, and part of this responsibility includes understanding how to properly deal with potentially criminal evidence. Thus, maintaining a clear communication line regarding illegal findings helps uphold the integrity of the cleanup process and protects the health and safety of both employees and the public.
