Occupational Hygiene in Healthcare Construction

Greencap’s team of occupational hygienists and infection control professionals provide critical expertise and support during the planning, commissioning, and completion of construction projects.

Identifying, assessing, and controlling dust and airborne infection risks in high-risk settings such as health and aged care is key to the success of these projects.

This enables the design and construction process to be enhanced by developing, implementing, and monitoring appropriate control measures throughout the lifecycle of a construction or renovation project to protect vulnerable and sensitive populations.

Achieving effective infection prevention and control begins at the outset of a building design, construction, renovation, or maintenance project via consideration of robust infection control principals and reliable controls.

This framework is then applied throughout the lifecycle of the construction or renovation project, as well as maintenance activities.

This way preventing risk of exposure of patients, residents, staff, contractors, and visitors to biological hazards and reducing incidence of nosocomial infections.
