This session will help attendees move from cursory infection control risk assessments to comprehensive pro-active construction assessments. Discussions will include assembling and utilizing the best possible multi-disciplinary team, selecting appropriate mitigation measures and evaluation methods, in time applications and capturing costs in the design phase. This session will include case studies of successful PCRA applications and where failure to apply the concepts results in significant negative impact on the facility, service availability, cost and schedule. This session will enable attendees to:
- Describe current and pending regulatory standards and guidance documents
- Identify necessary participants in the risk assessment process and their roles
- Select appropriate risk mitigation measures and match them with appropriate evaluation methods and schedules
- List evaluation strategies selected from PCRA process that can also provide support for healthy building programs; and
- Identify and assign risk assessmetn related costs in the design phase
