Yes. Blood can carry bloodborne pathogens such as hepatitis B and HIV. Dried blood can still be hazardous, and enclosed cabins hold odor. That is why the area is cleaned with protection and disinfected.
Cleaners follow rules designed to protect workers and the public from bloodborne pathogens, including the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030. They wear PPE and use EPA-registered disinfectants.
Call 911 first if anyone is hurt. Keep people and pets away from the vehicle, do not drive it, and do not wipe or spray the fluids. Take photos for insurance and note what the contamination touched.
Vehicle biohazard cleanup is handled discreetly. Ask when you call about unmarked vehicles and quiet work. Cleaners are there for the owner, not to draw attention.
