Construction Activity Infection control risk group X TYPE A: Non-invasive activity, low noise, no vibration

DUST LEVEL Low X GROUP 1: Low office areas, FMS areas, all non-patient care areas.

TYPE B: Small scale, short duration, low-moderate noise, low-moderate vibration DUST LEVEL: Moderate to High

GROUP 2: Medium All other patient care areas including general medicine floors, ultrasound, Rehab, Occupational Therapy.

TYPE C: Requires more than one work shift to complete, low-moderate noise, moderate–high vibration DUST LEVEL Moderate to High

GROUP 3: Medium/High ED, Radiology/MRI, admissions, food service areas, laboratories.

TYPE D: Major demolition and construction activities Requiring consecutive work shifts, moderate-high noise, moderate-high vibration DUST LEVEL High

GROUP 4: Highest Operating rooms, SPS, ICU’s, Outpatient areas, oncology, anesthesia, post anesthetic recovery, all endoscope areas, Pharmacy, Renal Dialysis

10. Cover transport receptacles or carts. Tape covering.

11. Remove isolation of HVAC system in areas where work was performed at the end of the project.

12. Emergency Preparedness training/posting/ID card.

Risk Assessment for TB exposure: Does the project involve the building’s: a) HVAC Yes No X ; b) HEPA filters Yes No_X_ ;

c) Negative Pressure Room (s) Yes No X ? If any checked yes, an N95 mask will be required.
