Re: Infection Control New Construction in Hospitals

More | Report Post

Have you looked at the CSA Standards? Their publication is
CAN/CSA Z317.13-03
"Infection Control during Construction or Renovation of
Health Care Facilities". They also provide courses/
certification re: construction and infection control.
Additionally, this document "Health Canada Construction -
Related Nosocmial Infections In Patients in Health Care
Facilities, July 2001" may be useful. It takes a lot of time
and diligence to get through the cosntruction carefully. I
am up to my neck in a New Canacer Centre, and Hospital
Renovations and a construction of an entire new wing.
Good luck,
Judy
