All barriers shall have clean, smooth surfaces and provide a contiguous seal to minimize the migration of construction dust as well as smoke

2. Because the building's air pressure is negative relative to the outdoors, work that involves a break in an exterior wall shall be protected with two parallel noncombustible or fire-retardant partitions to minimize energy loss, property damage, and occupants' discomfort or exposure to chemical vapors and bioaerosois.

3. Prior to use, the Project Officer, with the CC safety officer and CC Office of Facility Management will assess the risks associated with the flammables, oxidizers, irritants, and other potentially hazardous chemicals proposed for use in the work area.

a. The contractor will provide the Material Safety Data Sheets for chemicals used on the site in accordance with provisions of the OSHA Hazard Communication Act.
