Dust protection for healthcare facility construction

The CDC requires an Infection Control Risk Assessment before any construction, renovation or repair project

A dust control plan is part of this assessment, and contractors usually have a dust barrier system as part of their dust control plan.

In healthcare facilities, how the system is used depends on the ICRA requirements
