ECOH services

Healthcare settings require specialized environmental controls due to the presence of immune-suppressed patients. The issue of Nosocomial (Hospital-Acquired) Infections has received much attention by media and regulatory agencies throughout North America. Specific controls are mandated by various Regulations, Standards and Guidelines related to routine building maintenance operations, as well as during renovation and construction projects.ECOH Management has developed a management program specifically designed for specialized healthcare facilities. The program includes inspection and reporting templates for application to ongoing construction projects, as well as preventive measures required during maintenance and routine building operations. The program ensures compliance with applicable Standards and Guidelines regarding Infection Control procedures, and provides organization and inter-departmental notification systems.

Infection Control Standards and Guidelines require that Preventive Measures be included during the design phase of construction projects planned at healthcare facilities. ECOH Management has developed general infection control specifications for inclusion in construction specifications. Specification design can be modified to suit particular facilities and varied scopes of project work. ECOH offers services in the design and specification of barriers and enclosures for infection control during construction projects, as well as on-site inspection, monitoring and project management.
