A final inspection and a set of records finish the job, so the area can reopen.

At a home, a homeowners or renters policy may help. At a business, a commercial policy or the owner may be responsible. At a rental, the lease and local law decide.
Emergency crews treat the person and leave. They do not clean. The property owner, employer or insurer needs to call a cleanup crew to remove blood and body fluids and disinfect the area.
The employer or property owner usually calls for it. Bloodborne pathogen rules apply to the people doing the work. A cleanup team can explain what it removes and what records you get.
A biohazard cleanup team does. Police, firefighters and medics do not. Blood can carry bloodborne pathogens, so a professional crew removes it with protective equipment and disinfects the area.
Police, fire and towing crews clear the roadway. They do not clean blood from vehicle interiors or private property. You need a biohazard cleanup team for those.
It depends on the place, the lease and the situation. A property manager, attorney or insurer can say who is responsible in your case. A cleanup team can explain the work either way.
One call starts the process, and no details are required up front.
