When construction in hospitals is not performed by properly trained construction professionals, work on ceilings, walls and flooring can make infectious agents airborne through HVAC systems, drafts and foot traffic to other areas of the hospital occupied by patients susceptible to secondary infections.
Workers learn how to identify and classify project areas to best minimize risks, illness and injury.
