Infection Prevention and Control During Healthcare Construction
Construction in healthcare produces environmental health issues when microbial organisms with the potential to cause infection in susceptible persons are disturbed. As a health and hygiene consultancy, Atmos has a strong focus of health and healthcare with graduate and post-graduate health science education, 10 years of acute care hospital experience and 10 years of building and construction.
Obtaining a formal certification in environmental infection control combines Atmos’ experience in healthcare, hazardous materials management, industrial hygiene, building and construction project management, air conditioning and ventilation, filtration, indoor environmental and microbial assessment to manage healthcare construction in a poorly serviced field.
The role of Atmos as an Environmental Infection Control Consultancy is the point of contact between all parties involved in the design and modification of healthcare facilities to oversee and manage the implementation of Australian and international guidelines, standards and best practices during demolition, major re-fits, and minor works.

- Infection prevention and control consultancy
