We are proud to introduce a valuable resource that will empower you and your team to reinforce the critical role of ventilation in health care settings.

This tool leverages existing core infection control risk assessment (ICRA) principles to establish a framework for water safety management during health care construction and renovation projects.

This train-the-trainer program provides health care facilities with the tools to train and onboard new staff to complete ASHE's ICRA 2.0™ process and personalize the strategy for your individual site.

The ASHE ICRA 2.0™ Process Guide is your how-to manual for successfully engaging the ASHE ICRA 2.0 tool. It closely follows the steps outlined on the form, but it also helps you understand where the ASHE ICRA 2.0 fits within the larger project plan and who you should include on the ASHE ICRA 2.0 team.

This tool helps facilities managers apply the tactics of building system maintenance to infection control by identifying opportunities for infection risk during rounding.

ASHE ICRA 2.0™ includes several improvements and clarifications to help in prevention planning for construction projects.

This water management tool is a gap analysis worksheet to assist facilities in implementing and maintaining a compliant water management program.

While Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is not a new tool for disinfection, the COVID-19 pandemic has brought it to the forefront of discussions again. UV radiation, with sufficient intensity and contact time, can inactivate viruses and bacteria through three main approaches: air, water and surface. One of the applications of UV lamp includes being used in HVAC systems.

ASHE offers resources specific to ventilation and negative pressure rooms to reinforce and build on your knowledge base in these areas.
