Construction & Infection Prevention – Part 3: Where Risk Actually Lives

In Part 3 of the Construction & IPAC series, we move beyond policy and into practice.

This episode explores where infection risks actually emerge during healthcare construction projects — including:

• Anteroom failures and barrier breakdowns

• Dust control, airflow, and pressure issues

• Water system disruptions and opportunistic pathogens

• Human factors that quietly undermine controls

• Why “temporary” construction risks often persist long after work is complete

If you’re an infection preventionist or ICP, facilities leader, project manager, or healthcare executive, this episode will help you recognize risks earlier, and intervene more effectively.
