### sec.155 What an ICMP must contain An ICMP for a health care facility must state— the infection risks associated with the provision of declared health services provided at the facility; and the measures to be taken to prevent or minimise the infection risks for declared health services; and how the operator is to monitor and review the implementation and effectiveness of the measures; and details about the provision of training in relation to the ICMP for persons employed or otherwise engaged at the facility; and how often the ICMP is to be reviewed; and if a person other than the operator of the facility is also responsible for providing advice about, and monitoring the effectiveness of, the ICMP—the name of that person. A regulation may prescribe matters to be included in an ICMP, including the measures under subsection (1) (b) that are to be included in an ICMP. The ICMP must be written in a way likely to be easily understood by persons employed or otherwise engaged at the facility. The operator of the facility must— sign and date the ICMP; and sign and date the ICMP each time it is reviewed. The operator must keep a copy of the ICMP at a place at the facility that is readily accessible to persons employed or otherwise engaged at the facility. Maximum penalty—100 penalty units. If, after developing an ICMP for a health care facility, the operator of the facility intends to provide a declared health service not identified in the ICMP, the operator must, before providing the service, review and amend the ICMP to address the infection risks associated with the service. s 155 amd 2017 No. 16 s 8 (sec.155-ssec.1) An ICMP for a health care facility must state— the infection risks associated with the provision of declared health services provided at the facility; and the measures to be taken to prevent or minimise the infection risks for declared health services; and how the operator is to monitor and review the implementation and effectiveness of the measures; and details about the provision of training in relation to the ICMP for persons employed or otherwise engaged at the facility; and how often the ICMP is to be reviewed; and if a person other than the operator of the facility is also responsible for providing advice about, and monitoring the effectiveness of, the ICMP—the name of that person.
