Environmental Infection Control Remediation
The Council-certified Environmental Infection Control Remediator (CEICR) and the Council-certified Environmental Infection Control Supervisor (CEICS) correct infection control problems in the built environment. A CEICR or CEICS advises building owners during construction, demolition, remodeling, repair and renovation projects. A CEICR or CEICS can identify and eliminate the causes at the root of an infection control issue as well as taking measures to prevent future problems. A CEICR or CEICS can also help identify construction practices which have encouraged the spread of infection. A CEICR or CEICS can help develop an infection control risk assessment (ICRA).
A CEICR or CEICS has verified knowledge of disciplines related to environmental infection control. The certification exam cover the most respected texts in the field. Those who pass the exams must understand the scientific principles governing infection control. They must be familiar with current practices and standards affecting investigators and remediators.
Each CEICR or CEICS possesses verified experience in infection control remediation in one or more of the following settings:
-
Hospitals
-
Clinics and urgent care centers
-
Offices and commercial buildings
-
Industrial structures
