Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA)
Through training we help ensure the health and safety of every patient, facility personnel, and tradesperson. It is our number one priority.
Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA) Best Practices in Healthcare Construction teaches workers how to contain pathogens, control airflow, protect patients, and work without disrupting adjacent operations.
Free training courses are available for architects, hospital personnel, and construction professionals.
Lunch and Learn for Specification Professionals
This program lasts 90 minutes and is 1.5 CEUs. Attendees will learn about the importance of having construction crews trained in ICRA protocol in order to eliminate job site problems related to pathogens and other contaminants. We are an approved provider for continuing education by the American Institute of Architects.
8-Hour Awareness Course for Facility Personnel, Auxiliary Trades, and Contractor Representatives
Attendees will learn about the importance of containing pathogens, controlling airflow, as well as recognizing and properly disposing of hazardous materials. We are proud to work with other trades and facility personnel to ensure safety across all spectrums of hospital construction.
24-Hour Certification for Construction Professionals
Each program is a hands-on training for construction professionals in a healthcare-simulated environment. This training is verifiable on the job site so that you feel confident that everyone is safe while you work to improve your facility.
In addition to providing free mobile training, we provide training at all of our schools throughout the Northern Midwest Regional Council of Carpenters.
We think safety is priceless. So our training is free.
Our 24-Hour Qualification Course is free for all union carpenters. And we bring the 8-Hour Awareness to hospital staff while training instructors of other trades to prepare their own workforce. We will also provide badging and technical support for free.
And now, we have an ICRA trailer so we can bring this training to your workforce, including hands-on training for contractors and the carpenters that work for them.
The costs of construction-related hospital infections are high and this training is free.
