Posted By Mart S Hello All I have been able to find lots of information about how to reduce the risk of aspergillosis in a hospital environment when construction work is being undertaken, but very little about construction work in an active doctors surgery. I am involved in a small project at a medium sized doctors surgery, which involves demolishing some internal walls and the creation of a small extension. I am very aware of the increased risk to high risk patients of aspergillosis, caused by the dust created by the construction work. Is there anybody here who could advise the level of protection measures we would need for this type of work at this sort of location, as there doesn't appear to be much guidance out there other than for hospitals. Thank you

Posted By Mart S Thanks. To be honest I think we have got most of it covered through effective screening, sealing of ventilation in the demolition areas, dust surpression, out of hours working etc. and ensuring that high risk patients use consulting rooms at the other side of the building. Interested to hear the thoughts of others.
