There may be no greater test of a contractor’s ability to provide a safe, healthy and cooperative work environment than when working with the design and fabrication of millwork in a healthcare facility. In most cases, nurses must be able to treat patients in close vicinity of the workspace, and therefore, it is extremely important for the contractors to maintain a sanitary and sterile work space.

The individuals at Oakwood know the importance of ensuring a dust-free environment, and come prepared with negative air flow systems to keep the air clean. The employees will even dress in full “bunny suits” if necessary to maintain a completely germ-free environment. In addition to taking all required precautions, the individuals at both Oakwood Contractors and the Illinois Department of Health constantly monitor the workspace to guarantee that no hazard goes unnoticed.

The team at Oakwood also realizes that in addition to safety, timing is a critical factor when working in a healthcare environment. Not only is it important to work efficiently, but it is often absolutely crucial that all work areas are able to remain fully operative at all times. Contractors must make sure they schedule the project appropriately and also must be ready to accommodate any medical emergency that may occur.

To date, Oakwood has completed numerous unique and successful projects across the Midwest. Healthcare facilities have learned to trust the individuals at Oakwood because of their strong attention to detail and proven strategy when working in even the most demanding environments.
