RISK MANAGEMENT


A recent forecast, backed by the Regional Australia Institute, expects the aftershocks of COVID-19 to impact regional population trends, with a growing number of millennials looking to regional areas over capital city living. CETEC says: ‘Due to the cost of travel, there is a significant benefit in engaging multidisciplinary consultants who can manage water risk, air risk, and dangerous goods compliance, in a single visit.'


risk relative to the norm. It will better guide you on where you need to spend on infrastructure improvement. It will, additionally, allow consultants to create plans outlining ways to manipulate the operation of HVAC equipment, hydraulic systems, and the occupied space, to counter adverse environmental events.


Engage a consultancy that is digitally accessible and offers training and support Ultimately, the best technical risk consultancy will be available when you need them, both onsite and virtually. They will offer you training and support. This allows you to verify your infrastructure and not compromise results, economically manage risk, and best manage the wider range of environmental challenges posed by remote hospitals.


n Given that this article was originally written for an Australian healthcare estates and facilities audience, in Table 2 the authors highlight some potential lessons from their work for UK hospitals.

Table 2: Potential lessons from CETEC’s experience for UK healthcare facilities in regional and major cities.


Themes Reliable and new Lesson identified Timely and accurate testing can increase response time,


testing technologies and ensure that mitigating actions can be put in place faster to minimise the risk turning into an issue, preventing escalation of an incident, ensuring the preservation of life, and protecting property.


Multidisciplinary solutions


Risks can easily be interconnected; this requires a broader


competence base to recognise the second and third effects of actions, and to develop comprehensive and holistic approaches to dealing with risks and issues.


Additional While UK hospitals do not face the same environmental


environmental factors factors (less the risk of flooding) – the ‘take-away’ from here is the need for a more comprehensive understanding of the impact of external environmental factors on Indoor Environmental Quality, and how to create cost-effective solutions to mitigate them.


Leveraging technologies


Access to specialist services should not be restricted by


geographical location. Partner with and support organisations who can help provide the best solutions for onsite and offsite testing, inspection, monitoring, and support, ‘24/7’.
