ICRA For Construction 1.1

The ICRA for Construction is an interactive educational tool developed to enhance awareness of infection control practices within healthcare construction environments. It emphasizes the critical role that construction personnel play in preventing contamination and safeguarding patient safety. The simulation requires users to identify potential hazards on healthcare construction sites, fostering recognition of risks that could lead to infection transmission. It should be noted that this platform is intended to supplement formal training and should not replace comprehensive instruction provided by qualified professionals. For information on obtaining certified training, please visit www.kmlcarpenters.org/icra/.

This initiative was created through a collaboration between the Keystone Mountain Lakes Regional Council Of Carpenters (KML), the Master Builders Association of Western Pennsylvania (MBA), and the Master Interior Contractor’s Association, reflecting a concerted effort to promote safe construction practices in sensitive healthcare settings.

ICRA for Construction is powered by the Simcoach Skill Arcade app, which also provides resources for career exploration, skills development, and badge achievement programs related to various trades and training opportunities.

It is important to recognize that infection control protocols can vary significantly across different healthcare facilities. Safety procedures and regulations are subject to ongoing updates. Users should consult their employer or supervisor with any questions and remain compliant with site-specific protocols. This application serves as an awareness-raising tool and does not replace formal instruction on infection prevention measures.
