Class

I X Execute work by methods to minimize raising dust from construction operations.

Immediately replace ceiling tile displaced for visual inspection.

X Provide active means to prevent airborne dust from dispersing into atmosphere. X Wipe work surfaces with disinfectant.

X Water mist work surfaces to control dust while cutting.

Wet mop and/or vacuum with HEPA-filtered vacuum before leaving work area.

X Seal unused doors with duct tape. X Remove isolation of HVAC system in areas where work is being performed.

X Block off and seal air vents. X Contain construction waste before transport in tightly covered containers.

X Place dust mat at entrance and exit of work area.

X Remove or isolate HVAC system in areas where work is being performed to prevent contamination of duct system.

Class II (those checked) plus: X Do not remove barriers from work area until completed project is inspected by Safety and Infection Control and thoroughly cleaned by Environmental Management.

X

Complete all critical barriers i.e. sheetrock, plywood, plastic, to seal area from non-work area or implement control cube method (cart with plastic covering and sealed connection to work site with HEPA vacuum for vacuuming prior to exit) before construction begins.

X Remove barrier materials carefully to minimize spreading of dirt and debris associated with construction.

X Maintain negative air pressure within work site utilizing HEPA equipped air filtration units. X Vacuum work area with HEPA filtered vacuums.

X Cover transport receptacles or carts. Tape covering unless solid lid. X Wet mop area with disinfectant.

Class III (those checked) plus: See other Classes.

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

Construct anteroom and require all personnel to pass through this room so they can be vacuumed using a HEPA vacuum cleaner before leaving work site or they can wear cloth or paper coveralls that are removed each time the worker leaves the worksite.

All personnel entering work site are required to wear shoe covers. Shoe covers must be changed each time the worker exits the work area.

Notify the fire department and initiate a fire watch. Document notification and fire watch times.

Post signage identifying the location of alternative exits.

Inspect exits in affected areas on a daily basis.

Zero Gravity Site Prep

Signature and Date

Conduct organization wide safety education programs to promote awareness of fire safety building deficiencies, construction hazards and temporary measures implemented to maintain fire safety.

Train staff to compensate for impaired structural or compartmental fire safety features.

The hospital has a written ILSM policy identifying when and to what extent ILSM are implemented.

Evaluate the project using the criteria below to determine which ILSM are applicable.

Increase surveillance of buildings, grounds, and equipment, giving special attention to construction areas and storage, excavation, and field offices.

Enforce storage, housekeeping, and debris-removal practices that reduce the building’s flammable and combustible fire load to the lowest feasible level.

Provide additional training to staff on the use of firefighting equipment.

Conduct one additional fire drill per shift per quarter.

Inspect and test temporary systems monthly. Document the completion date.

Provide temporary but equivalent fire alarm and detection systems for use when a fire system is impaired.

Provide additional firefighting equipment.

Use temporary construction partitions that are smoke-tight, or made of noncombustible or limited-combustible material that will not contribute to the development or spread of fire.

a) All delegated construction projects must be provided fire code reviews. Delegated construction projects include projects funded from the Major, Minor or NRM programs that are managed at the facility level and other projects completed with local operating funds.

b) A qualified fire protection engineer must conduct the fire protection and life safety review for all Major and Minor projects and any NRM project where the scope of work is primarily (greater than 50 percent of the total project cost) fire protection (i.e., fire alarm or sprinkler systems, etc.) or includes significant renovation and construction where specific fire code and standard requirements would be applicable.

c) Facility safety staff will conduct fire code reviews for all other delegated projects and for locally funded projects.
