Handling ICRA Projects When Environmental Hazards Are Discovered

Join us for this month's Office Hours to discuss how environmental hazards can affect construction in the healthcare environment.

Robert Booth and remediation specialists will discuss two situations:

What we’ll cover
  • When a hazard starts the work: How to set up an ICRA when a hospital leak, water damage, or mold requires remediation or construction.
  • When a hazard is found during the work: How to respond when construction uncovers mold, water damage, or another environmental hazard, including changes to containment, coordination with remediation teams, and updates to the ICRA.

Particulate Monitoring and How to Set Up a Particulate Program

Particulate monitoring is moving from optional to expected on many ICRA projects. Most teams have not yet built a program that holds up to a real audit.

When to monitor, what to monitor for, and how to build a particulate program that holds up under scrutiny. Covers sensor placement, baseline readings, alarm thresholds, and how to use the data during a project rather than only after. Practical setup for both project-specific monitoring and longer-term in-house programs.

What we’ll cover
  • When to monitor, what to monitor for, and where to place sensors
  • Baseline readings and alarm thresholds that hold up to an audit
  • Using monitoring data during the project, not just after
  • Building both project-specific and in-house monitoring programs

Appropriate Barrier Selection and Setup

With Robert Booth (Oncore) and guest William Randall, STARC Systems.

Containment starts with the barrier. The wrong choice, or the right barrier installed poorly, undermines every other ICRA control downstream.

Negative Air Challenges and Proper Placement

With Robert Booth (Oncore) and guest Josh Skinner, Omni CleanAir.

Negative pressure is the control most teams say they have and most teams struggle to actually hold. This session looks at why.

Entrance Management for Healthcare Construction

With Robert Booth (Oncore) and guest RE-U-ZIP.

The entry point carries more traffic than any other part of a containment barrier and is a frequent source of breaches. This session examines its design, maintenance, and failure modes.

Ventilation Considerations During Healthcare Construction

With Robert Booth (Oncore).

Every containment is a temporary departure from how the hospital's air systems are meant to run. Someone has to decide how far that departure reaches and what it takes to put the building back.

Recording coming soon

Bring your toughest ICRA questions.

Office Hours are built for the field. Whether you run containment, manage facilities, or sit on the infection control side, you’ll leave each session with something you can use on the next job.
