Infectious Disease Control
Saving Lives by Stopping the Spread of Airborne Pathogens
At medical facilities such as hospitals, emergency care centers and nursing homes, the risk of spreading airborne diseases increases during construction projects. This includes when ceilings, walls or flooring are removed. The disturbed material can cause the release of agents that may be trapped and pose harmful effects to those in the building, leading to healthcare-associated infections.
Properly trained professionals, such as those who work for Superior Industrial Insulation Company, receive industry-leading training to prevent the spread of disease. This includes applying infectious disease control material to fill any holes that could lead to the spread of disease.
This lifesaving work is similar to firestopping work.
Healthcare Facility Requirements
The Centers for Disease Control requires healthcare facilities to perform an Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA) before any renovation, construction or repair project.
According to the CDC website, this can require “barriers to prevent dust and dangerous pathogens from entering patient care areas and ensure that barriers are impermeable to fungal spores and in compliance with local fire codes.”
