Secondary infections that are contracted during hospital stays result in many deaths per year. A rising concern is the increase in infections due to cross contamination from hospital additions and renovations. Removing ceilings, walls, flooring, etc., releases germs, mold, and other infectious substances that are trapped behind ceilings and walls and under floors. If not handled properly, these infectious agents are transferred through HVAC systems, drafts, and foot traffic to other parts of the hospital that house patients with compromised immune systems. As a result, hospitals are now looking for contractors and workers who have been trained to handle these situations during construction. This course addresses these issues.
