Fundamentals of Infection control during Construction, Renovation and Maintenance of Healthcare Facilities

Construction, renovation and maintenance activities are a significant cause of potentially fatal infections for the occupants of any healthcare facility. This course focuses on application of CSA Z317.13-07 Infection Control during Construction, Renovation and Maintenance of Healthcare Facilities to address necessary measures and help control risk. We will explore the risk factors and a risk analysis profile that is required when doing any type of construction or maintenance in many healthcare facilities across Canada.
Topics include: risk identification, risk analysis, risk mitigation and preventive measures that can be applied to minimize the risks to patients.
Gordon serves as the key faculty member for this course across Canada and chairs the technical subcommittee for CSA Z317.13-07 and brings intimate knowledge of the intents of the statements within this standard.

Practical Applications of Infection control during Construction, Renovation and Maintenance of Healthcare Facilities

Applying the CSA Z317.13-07 standard is not always straight forward. This course builds on the information gained during the Fundamentals of Infection Control during Construction, Renovation and Maintenance of Healthcare Facilities course to address challenges that are commonly seen in the healthcare construction industry. This includes several tools that make applying the standard easier in the “real world”.
Topics include risk mitigation and preventive techniques that can be applied to minimize the risks to patients. The course takes participants through many real life construction scenarios.
