Project Start Date:

If so, these departments must be notified.

The following must be addressed and put in place prior to any construction activities:

• Separation wall must be constructed prior to project beginning, or secure an existing barrier. Put signs on doors into construction area “Construction area – Do Not Enter”. Door to the room must be closed for duration of work.

• Fire protection systems must remain intact.

• Provide extra fire extinguishers in the work areas.

• Maintain exit lights in work area.

• Maintain negative air in construction area (24/7) through duration of project when necessary.

• There cannot be any return air from within the construction area to the rest of the building.

• Ensure public exiting does not go through the construction area.

• Maintain daily logs, daily hot work permits, daily confined entry permit, etc.

• Place sticky mats at doors exiting construction area.

• All debris must be removed by covered cart on a daily basis.

• Maintain clean and orderly work area on a daily basis.

How are you going to reduce the noise or vibration to an acceptable level?

Will there be a Confined Space Entry required on this project? If so, MCM 138-29, Confined Space Entry policy must be followed.

Will there be hot work on this project? If so, FMS Memorandum FMS -14, Hot Work Operations must be followed. A hot work permit must be approved by Safety Manager or designated Competent Person (CP) for the project and posted at the job site. All hot work must have a fire watch assigned to each area while the hot work is being performed.

Is asbestos abatement required on this job? If so, the MCM 00-19, Asbestos control Program and MCM 138-13, Asbestos Management Plan must be followed. Notify Safety, the Industrial Hygienist, the AFGE representative, and the Maintenance Supervisor prior to abatement.

Are fumes and odors present? If so, how will fumes and odors be controlled? MSDS sheets are required.

Will there be noise or vibration generated that will impact a department adjacent to, above, or below the construction zone?

Are any of the following environmental hazards present?

NoYes

Are Emergency Procedures in place and posted on each job site for accidental events that could greatly impact Patient Care or Life Safety to the facility? If NO, explain.

Fire detection, alarm, or sprinkler, off site notification affected by construction

Other

HVAC

Fire door deficiency Egress route or exit altered, blocked or redirected

Negative airflow ventilation and filtration in place and assessed for effectiveness.

Will dust be generated during this project? If yes explain location of and plan for interim dust barriers.

Will any of the following systems be out of service at any time during the project? If so, Interim Life Safety

Measures must be implemented.

Air Quality and Infection Control: The construction activity types are defined by the amount of dust that is generated, the duration of the activity, and the amount of shared HVAC systems. The Maintenance

Supervisor or COR shall direct questions to Infection Control and/or Safety Manager.

Additional Safety Concerns:

Will debris removal be necessary? If yes, explain the plan for debris removal and dust control.

Will construction project affect traffic in the area? If yes explain actions taken to minimize problems.

Exit lights taken out of service or redirected

Will construction affect exit routes from occupied areas adjacent to the construction site?

.Will work be conducted above the ceiling? Contact VAFD/COR (or designee) for pre/post-work inspections.DRAFT

Sheet1

Above requirements are provided on the assumption that this project will generate minimal dust. Dust mitigation requirements are subject to change if dust migration out of the direct work area is noted. Workers must ensure clothing is dust free when leaving the direct work area. Any dust generated must be cleaned as soon as possible. Any debris is removed through the window if possible.
