Infection Control is critical in all medical center facilities. Interior construction activities causing disturbance of existing dust, or creating new dust, must be conducted within ventilation-controlled areas that minimize the flow of airborne particles into patient areas. B. An AHA associated with infection control will be performed by VA personnel in accordance with FGI Guidelines (i.e. Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA)). The ICRA procedure found on the American Society for Healthcare Engineering (ASHE) website will be utilized. Risk classifications of Class II or lower will require approval by the Contracting Officer Representative or Government Designated Authority before beginning any construction work. Risk classifications of Class III or higher will require a permit before beginning any construction work. Infection Control permits will be issued by the Project Engineer. The Infection Control Permits will be posted outside the appropriate construction area. More than one permit may be issued for a construction project if the work is located in separate areas requiring separate classes. The primary project scope area for this project is: Class [_II_}, however, work outside the primary project scope area may vary. The required infection control precautions with each class are as follows: 2. Class II requirements: a. During Construction Work: 1) Notify the Contracting Officer Representative or Government Designated Authority. 2) Provide active means to prevent airborne dust from dispersing into atmosphere such as wet methods or tool mounted dust collectors where possible. 3) Water mist work surfaces to control dust while cutting. 4) Seal unused doors with duct tape. 5) Block off and seal air vents. 6) Remove or isolate HVAC system in areas where work is being performed. b. Upon Completion: 1) Wipe work surfaces with cleaner/disinfectant. 2) Contain construction waste before transport in tightly covered containers. 3) Wet mop and/or vacuum with HEPA filtered vacuum before leaving work area. 4) Upon completion, restore HVAC system where work was performed 5) Notify the Contracting Officer Representative or Government Designated Authority.
