2. Immediately replace any ceiling tile displaced for visual inspection.

3. Contain construction waste before transport in tightly-covered containers.

4. Emergency Preparedness training/posting/ID card.

CLASS

II

1. Provide active means to prevent air-borne dust from dispersing into atmosphere.

2. Water mist work surfaces to control dust while cutting.

3. Seal unused doors with duct tap

4. Block off and seal air vents.

5. Wipe surfaces with disinfectant.

6. Contain construction waste before transport in tightly-covered containers.

7. Emergency Preparedness training/posting/ID card.

CLASS

III

1. Isolate HVAC system in area where work is being done to prevent contamination of the duct system.

CLASS

IV

1. Isolate HVAC system in area where work is being done to prevent contamination of the duct system.

2. Complete all critical barriers before any work begins.

3. Maintain negative air pressure within work area utilizing

HEPA-equipped air filtration units.

4. Provide adhesive walk-off mat at entrance and exit of work area.

5. Seal holes, pipes, conduits and punctures appropriately.

6. Vacuum the entire work area with HEPA vacuums or wet mop with disinfectant at the completion of project.

7. Do not remove barriers from work area until completed project is thoroughly cleaned by housekeeping and inspected by the Infection

Control Department, Safety Section, and Engineering Service.

8. Remove barrier materials carefully to minimize spreading dust and debris associated with construction.

9. Contain construction waste before transport in tightly-covered containers.

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 ; b) HEPA filters Yes No____ ;

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