This introductory Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA) for Healthcare Construction seminar explains the importance of construction-specific infection controls and Best Management Practices for use in healthcare settings. 

Construction, renovation and repair activities in hospital and healthcare facilities are likely to create and/or disturb particles, and cause them to become aerosolized. Patients with suppressed immune systems are especially susceptible to developing potentially life-threatening infections if appropriate precautions are not understood.

This course introduces the participant to the ICRA matrix tool and standard risk mitigation recommendations including typical equipment and supplies used. The training provides individuals a base to conduct activities that minimize the risk of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). This course is only the first step; its content should be reviewed frequently and incorporated on the job through toolbox talks or other informal training.


Course Objectives:

By the end of this course the student will demonstrate proficiency in infection mitigation through dust

control by:

  1. Understanding what Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) is and its importance in healthcare facility construction.
  2. Demonstrating knowledge the potential outcomes of failure to comply with current rules; regulations; guidelines and state-of-the-art practices.
  3. Identifying certain opportunistic fungi and bacteria and routes of exposure.
  4. Defining Construction Risk Assessment and Infection Control Risk Mitigation Recommendations.
  5. Discussing current regulations, guidelines and state-of-the-art practices.
  6. Understanding related infection controls used in health care facilities
  7. Demonstrating knowledge of the variety of dust-tight work area enclosures as well as the proper application of engineering controls, work practices and personal and equipment decontamination.


The student must pass a 25-question multiple choice exam at the end of class. Upon completion of the course and in-class exam, each student receives a signed certificate of attendance.

Instructor was very accommodating (we had a few technical issues on our end) and also very personable and engaging. It definitely was more like listening to a podcast - stayed interesting & easy to follow, as opposed to some long, drawn out training seminar. Will be recommending to colleagues, and will be looking up to see what other course offerings may be available.
