Why ICRA Compliance is Critical in Healthcare Construction
In the world of healthcare construction, compliance isn’t just a regulation it’s a responsibility. Every renovation or expansion project in an active healthcare facility poses potential risks to patients, staff, and visitors. That’s why ICRA (Infection Control Risk Assessment) compliance is at the core of everything we do at MPL Construction Corp.
What Is ICRA and Why Does It Matter?
The Infection Control Risk Assessment is a standardized process established by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Joint Commission to protect patient environments during construction. It evaluates how dust, noise, and air quality might impact sterile or patient-sensitive areas and defines strict procedures to minimize risks.
Hospitals can’t afford cross-contamination, and neither can contractors. ICRA ensures that every phase of construction maintains a safe, sealed, and sterile environment.
How MPL Implements ICRA Standards
At MPL Construction, every project begins with a detailed ICRA evaluation. We collaborate closely with infection control departments and facility managers to map containment zones, airflow, and debris management.
Our teams use HEPA filtration, negative air machines, and temporary walls to isolate work areas from patient spaces. Sticky mats and airlocks prevent dust migration, while all personnel undergo ICRA training to guarantee proper procedures are followed at all times.
Beyond Compliance: Building Trust
ICRA is not just a checklist it’s about maintaining trust with healthcare clients. We understand that medical staff and patients rely on us to keep their environment safe and their operations uninterrupted. By combining proactive risk management, continuous monitoring, and transparent communication, MPL Construction ensures every healthcare renovation meets the highest safety and quality standards.
A Safer Future for Healthcare Facilities
With over 15 years of healthcare construction experience in South Florida, MPL continues to set the benchmark for compliance-driven building. Our commitment to ICRA protects not only patients but also hospital reputations and operational continuity.
Because in healthcare construction, safety isn’t a feature it’s the foundation.
