Any post-mortem activities, from recovery, transport, to autopsies and handover to families and burial, should be therefore conducted with a focus on avoiding aerosol generating procedures, such as splashes of contaminated fluids; and ensuring that if aerosol generation is likely (e.g. when using an oscillating saw, which is NOT recommended) that appropriate engineering controls and PPE are used and that the disinfection of contaminated surfaces and equipment, together with thorough personal hygiene, especially hand-washing, are rigorously observed. These precautions and the use of standard precautions such as those recommended in this guidance should ensure that appropriate work practices are used to prevent direct contact with infectious material, percutaneous injury, and hazards related to moving heavy remains and handling embalming chemicals.
