Local advocate calls for improved protections for workers employed to clean fatalities
PRINCE GEORGE—It’s a job that is rarely talked about and some might argue, taken for granted. Who is responsible for clean up after someone has passed away?
Whether it’s by accident foul play or by natural causes- there is someone responsible for cleaning up and removing the deceased. According to a local Dead Body Removal Attendant the industry does not adequately prepare people when entering this line of work, causing mental harm.
“One of the things to keep in mind is if you’re working this field in a town with a smaller population than, like a big city, there are higher chances of you having to see someone you know, in the job,” says the attendant who wishes to remain anonymous to protect their employment.
