Care facilities: building systems, water, pressure and clinical continuity

Occupant vulnerability requires joint governance among facilities, infection prevention, clinical leadership and occupational health. RSBQ organizes technical evidence without replacing those authorities.

RSBQ field guide · Building and operations

Questions a serious file should answer.

Context determines the method. These guideposts help distinguish a structured investigation from a simple collection of results.

What is the actual use?

Occupancy, schedules, vulnerability, processes and sensitive areas determine applicability.

Which systems connect areas?

Air, water, drainage, garages, shafts, elevators and enclosure may transfer contaminants.

Who controls each asset?

Owner, manager, tenant, employer, contractor and professional.

What makes follow-up durable?

Records, maintenance, complaints, trends, construction, re-occupancy and reassessment.
