Goal of the ICRA Awareness Course
NOTES FOR SLIDE 3
The ICRA awareness course
provides the necessary training to
understand the Infection Control
Risk Assessment (ICRA) procedures
for properly performing healthcare or
other occupied facility construction
and renovation tasks. In addition,
participants will examine
the
practical use of ICRA tools including containment, negative air, HEPA filtration,
and work practice techniques.
The course uses a variety of adult education
classroom activities to build upon the experiences participants have working in
construction, renovation, demolition, or healthcare facility environments.
ASK CLASS:
How many of you have heard of ICRA before today?
Has anyone worked in a hospital environment?
Where did you work and what type of work were you doing?
After a little discussion,
let them know you’ll be discussing the concepts of
ICRA throughout this course.

If no one has any experiences to talk about, let them know you’ll be
discussing the concepts of ICRA throughout this course.
Learning Objectives
NOTES FOR SLIDES 4-6
We expect that b
y the end of today’s
training each of you will be able to:
Define ICRA and explain why it
is used.
Describe how healthcare
construction worksites differ
from regular construction
worksites.
Explain the importance of
following work place rules and
using designated areas for
breaks, as defined by the
ICRA.
Define Hospital Acquired
Infections (HAI) and describe
the Chain of Infection.
Identify common pathogens
found in a healthcare setting
and describe how they are
transmitted.
Identify unique hazards specific
to healthcare construction,
including hospital utility
systems and medical gas
lines, and methods to avoid
them.
Describe the steps used in the
creation of an Infection Control
Risk Assessment Plan.
Specify the specific infection
control precautions used for
the four classes of ICRA construction.
Identify different types of barriers used and guidelines for choosing them.
Describe the procedure for entering/exiting through an anteroom.
List the two main functions of a negative air machine in an ICRA work
environment.
8
Describe appropriate methods for transporting trash, tools and materials
from the workspace.
Identify potential hazards to workers in a healthcare setting.
Define life safety system and explain the use of Interim Life Safety
Measures in a healthcare worksite.
What is ICRA?
NOTES FOR SLIDE 7
Only show the title of the
PowerPoint slide “W
hat is ICRA
?”
To get us started,
I’d like us to talk
about:
ASK THE CLASS:
“What is ICRA?” Can anyone tell
me what ICRA is?
On a white board or flipchart write down the various descriptions given by
the participants.
Once everyone is done giving a description, advance the PowerPoint to
show the definition from the participant manual.
ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTOR NOTES
If students can’t come up with ideas, ask a few of these questions.
What is the primary responsibility of a hospital? (Make people better.)
What is it about construction that can cause infections to be spread in a
hospital? (Uncontrolled construction dust can spread infections to clean parts
of a hospital.)
How can constructions workers, working in a hospital, help control
infections?? (Follow the rules established to prevent the spread of infections
within the hospital.)
9
Where is ICRA Used?
NOTES FOR SLIDE 8
Only show the title of the
PowerPoint
slide “W
here is ICRA
used?”
From our previous discussion we
identified that ICRA is used to
prevent the spread of infections in
healthcare facilities. Now that we know what ICRA is, let’s discuss where ICRA
can be used.
ASK THE CLASS:
What are some examples of healthcare facilities where ICRA might be used?
Write the participant responses on a whiteboard or flipchart.
Once everyone is done giving examples, advance the PowerPoint to show
the examples from the participant manual.
ASK THE CLASS:
Can you think of other types of facilities where controlling dust to protect the
occupants or the processes happening within the building might be important
during construction, renovation or demolition?
Write the participant responses on a whiteboard or flipchart.
ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTOR NOTES
If students can only provide a few (or no examples) highlight the last 4
examples on the slide. Ask them what these facilities have in common.
(People occupy them and exposure to dust and the air quality of the space is a
concern.)
Additional examples include: Factories, food processing plants, electronics
manufacturing.
