THE PROJECT WILL RENOVATE THE MAIN KITCHEN ON THE SECOND FLOOR AT THE SYRACUSE VA. THE PROJECT ENTAILS MECHANICAL UPGRADES TO FIX SOME SPACE COMFORT ISSUES, CONSOLIDATION AND REPLACEMENT OF EXISTING ELECTRICAL PANELS, AND REPLACEMENT OF ALL LIGHTING IN THE WORK AREA. THE KITCHEN WALK-IN COOLERS WILL BE REPLACED AND A NEW UTILITY DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM WILL BE PROVIDED. ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES WILL BE UPGRADED INCLUDING REPLACEMENT OF THE CEILINGS, PATCHING OF THE FLOOR TILES AND WALL, AND REMOVAL OF WALLS TO MAXIMIZE WORK AREA AND IMPROVE WORK FLOW. THE ENTIRE AREA OF RENOVATION IS APPROXIMATELY 6,600 SQUARE FEET.

9. UNLESS DIRECTLY SPECIFIED AND CONFIRMED BY THE VA/COR, ALL TEMPORARY PROTECTION AND ENCLOSURES ARE TO BE SET-UP AND KNOCKED DOWN ON A DAILY BASIS SUCH THAT THE USERS OF THE OCCUPIED AREAS ARE NOT TO BE INCONVENIENCED AND PREVENTED FROM FUNCTIONING WITHIN THEIR PACE/AREA/ROOM(S) DURING THEIR NORMAL BUSINESS

Infection Control Risk Assessment Matrix of Precautions for Construction & Renovation

Step One:

Using the following table, identify the Type of Construction Project Activity (Type A-D)

TYPE A Inspection and Non-Invasive Activities.

Includes, but is not limited to:

removal of ceiling tiles for visual inspection only, e.g., limited to 1 tile per 50 square feet painting (but not sanding) wallcovering, electrical trim work, minor plumbing, and activities which do not generate dust or require cutting of walls or access to ceilings other than for visual inspection.

TYPE B Small scale, short duration activities which create minimal dust Includes, but is not limited to:

installation of telephone and computer cabling access to chase spacescutting of walls or ceiling where dust migration can be controlled.

TYPE C Work that generates a moderate to high level of dust or requires demolition or removal of any fixed building components or assemblies Includes, but is not limited to:

sanding of walls for painting or wall covering removal of floorcoverings, ceiling tiles and casework new wall construction minor duct work or electrical work above ceilings major cabling activities any activity which cannot be completed within a single workshift.

TYPE D Major demolition and construction projects Includes, but is not limited to:

activities which require consecutive work shifts requires heavy demolition or removal of a complete cabling system new construction.

Step Two:

Using the following table, identify the Patient Risk Groups that will be affected.

If more than one risk group will be affected, select the higher risk group:

Low Risk Medium Risk High Risk Highest Risk

• Office areas •

Cardiology Echocardiography Endoscopy Nuclear Medicine Physical Therapy Radiology/MRI Respiratory Therapy

CCU

Emergency Room Labor & Delivery Laboratories (specimen) Medical Units Newborn Nursery Outpatient Surgery Pediatrics Pharmacy Post Anesthesia Care Unit Surgical Units

Any area caring for immunocompromised patients Burn Unit Cardiac Cath Lab Central Sterile Supply Intensive Care Units Negative pressure isolation rooms Oncology Operating rooms including C-section rooms

Step Three: Match the Patient Risk Group (Low, Medium, High, Highest ) with the planned … Construction Project Type (A, B, C, D) on the following matrix, to find the … Class of Precautions (I, II, III or IV) or level of infection control activities required.

IC Matrix - Class of Precautions: Construction Project by Patient Risk

Construction Project Type Note: Infection Control approval will be required when the Construction Activity and Risk Level indicate that Class III or Class IV control procedures are necessary.

Patient Risk Group TYPE A TYPE B TYPE C TYPE D LOW Risk Group I II II III / IV MEDIUM Risk Group I II III IV HIGH Risk Group I II III / IV IV HIGHEST Risk Group II III / IV III / IV IV
