Program Description

Learning Objective: To help construction personnel achieve a better understanding of the infection prevention and safety issues surrounding a construction project so that they may follow all of the measures carefully for their safety, as well as the safety of hospital patients.


When a healthcare environment is disturbed during construction, repairs, and even small maintenance projects, pathogens can be released into the facility - with potentially devastating impact.

Topics addressed include:

  • Infectious organisms that may be found in the hospital setting, how they are transmitted and how to reduce the risk to patients
  • HIPAA considerations
  • Required regulatory safety and infection prevention measures
  • Infection prevention practices and products to contain dust and debris
  • Facility health protection requirements which may include health screenings or recommended immunizations
  • Maintaining communication, including reporting problems

The content in this program is based on the AIA/FGI Guidelines for Design and Construction of Hospital and Healthcare Facilities, CDC Prevention Guidelines for Environmental Control and The Joint Commission Environment of Care Standards.
