DUST CONTROL PLAN NOTES

1. AT THE BEGINNING OF CONSTRUCTION, THE VAMC INFECTION CONTROL GROUP SHALL CONFIRM

THE DESIGNATION FOR THIS PROJECT FOR THE CLASS OF PRECAUTIONS AND LEVEL OF

INFECTION CONTROL ACTIVITIES. THE ICRA CHART HAS BEEN COMPLETED BASED ON THE DESIGN

PARAMETERS AND CONVERSATIONS WITH THE VA COR AND/OR VAMC INFECTION CONTROL

GROUP. HARD SURFACE BARRIERS SHALL BE USED EXCEPT IN THE AREA INDICATED ON THE

PHASING PLAN WITH PLASTIC BARRIERS (MINIMUM 4MIL) TO SEAL AREA FROM NON-WORK AREA

AS LONG AS THE SPRINKLER SYSTEM IS INTACT AND ACTIVE.

2. THIS PROJECT NEEDS AN ENTRY VESTIBULE FOR CLOTHING CHANGES (PROVIDE AND LOCATE A

STAGING AREA FOR HAZMAT SUITS NEAR THE PLASTIC BARRIER ENTRANCE SPACES -

CONSTRUCTION ANTEROOM. THEY SHALL BE USED WHEN GOING INTO CONSTRUCTION AREA AND

LEAVING THE CONSTRUCTION AREA) AND TOOL STORAGE AND TIGHT SEALS SHALL BE

MAINTAINED AT THE FULL PERIMETER OF WALLS AND WALL PENETRATIONS. ANY DUST SHALL BE

IMMEDIATELY CLEANED IF TRACKED OUTSIDE OF THE CONSTRUCTION BARRIER. UPON

COMPLETION OF THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE, DUST BARRIERS SHALL BE REMOVED CAREFULLY

TO MINIMIZE SPREADING OF DUST AND THE CONTRACTOR SHALL HAVE TEMPORARY DUST

PROTECTION IN PLACE BEFORE REMOVAL OF A PERMANENT BARRIER. [AFTER EACH PHASE,

PERFORM TASKS STATED IN CONTAMINATION OF PATIENT ROOMS, SUPPLIES, EQUIPMENT AND

RELATED AREAS NOTE 2.

3. PROVIDE STICKY MATS AND BLANKET AT THE PLASTIC BARRIER ENTRANCE SPACES

(CONSTRUCTION ANTEROOM) AND CHANGE DAILY OR MORE OFTEN AS NEEDED TO PREVENT THE

SPREAD OF DUST AND DEBRIS INTO ADJACENT CLEAN SPACE.

INTERNAL DEMOLITION AND CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES DUST AND DEBRIS CONTROL

1. USE CORRIDORS AS PRIMARY CONSTRUCTION ACCESS.

2. TRAFFIC CONTROL: DESIGNATED ENTRY AND EXIT PROCEDURES SHALL BE DEFINED. EGRESS

PATHS SHALL BE FREE OF DEBRIS; DESIGNATED ELEVATORS SHALL BE USED DURING

SCHEDULED TIMES; AND ONLY AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL SHALL BE ALLOWED TO ENTER THE

CONSTRUCTION ZONE. SIGNAGE SHALL DIRECT PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC AWAY FROM THE

CONSTRUCTION AREA AND MATERIALS.

3. CONTRACTOR SHALL USE TWO CARTS TO TRANSFER CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL IN AND OUT OF

THE PROJECT - A CLEAN CART SHALL BE USED; THE NOT-SO-CLEAN CART SHALL BE USED

BETWEEN THE MAIN ENTRY AND THE CONSTRUCTION STAGING/PREP AREA.

4. DEMOLITION DEBRIS: DEBRIS SHALL BE REMOVED IN CARTS WITH TIGHTLY FITTED COVERS, USING DESIGNATED TRAFFIC ROUTES. EFFORTS SHALL BE MADE TO MINIMIZE USE OF

ELEVATORS WITH AN EMPHASIS ON TRANSPORT DURING THE LOWEST PERIOD OF ACTIVITY.

DEBRIS SHALL BE REMOVED DAILY AND AT TIMES SPECIFIED BY THE VAMC. IF CHUTES ARE USED TO DIRECT DEBRIS OUTSIDE, HIGH EFFICIENCY PARTICULATE AIR (HEPA) FILTERED NEGATIVE AIR

MACHINES SHALL BE USED, AND THE CHUTE OPENING SHALL BE SEALED WHEN NOT IN USE.

FILTERS SHALL BE BAGGED AND SEALED BEFORE BEING TRANSPORTED OUT OF THE

CONSTRUCTION AREA. THE CONTRACTOR SHALL NOT HAUL DEBRIS THROUGH PATIENT-CARE

AREAS WITHOUT PRIOR APPROVAL OF THE COR.

5. EXTERIOR WINDOWS: WINDOWS SHALL BE SEALED TO MINIMIZE INFILTRATION FROM ANY

ADJACENT EXCAVATION DEBRIS.

6. ALL EQUIPMENT REMAINING IN THE RENOVATION AREA SHALL BE COVERED AND PROTECTED

PRIOR STARTING EACH CONSTRUCTION PHASE.

VENTILATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROLS

1. AIR SYSTEM FLOW: THE COR VERIFY AND ACKNOWLEDGE CONTRACTOR WHETHER THE

CONSTRUCTION AREA USES FRESH/OUTSIDE OR RE-CIRCULATED AIR; FILTERS SHALL BE ADDED

OR RETURN VENTS COVERED AS NEEDED WITH FILTER MATERIAL OR PLASTIC. AIR MUST FLOW

FROM CLEAN TO DIRTY AREAS.

2. NEGATIVE AIR PRESSURE: THE AIR WITHIN THE CONSTRUCTION AREA SHALL BE NEGATIVE WITH

RESPECT TO SURROUNDING AREAS AND WITH NO DISRUPTION OF AIR SYSTEMS OF ADJACENT

AREAS. USE OF THE NEGATIVE AIR PRESSURE SYSTEM WITHIN THE ENCLOSURE TO REMOVE

DUST SHALL PASS AIR THROUGH AN INDUSTRIAL GRADE, PORTABLE HEPA FILTER CAPABLE OF

FILTRATION RATES OF 300-800 CUBIC FEET PER MINUTE (FT3/MIN), OR EXHAUST AIR DIRECTLY TO THE OUTSIDE IF APPROVED BY VAMC. IF EXHAUST SHALL BE TIED INTO A RE-CIRCULATED AIR

SYSTEM, A PRE-FILTER AND HEPA FILTER SHALL BE USED BEFORE EXHAUST TO PREVENT

CONTAMINATION OF THE DUCTS.

3. FOR EXHAUST DUCT ROUTING THRU CORRIDOR: INSTALL HARD DUCT WITH NON-FLANGE HANGER

HUNG FROM CEILING ABOVE, BOTTOM OF DUCT SHALL BE A MINIMUM OF 7'-2" A.F.F.

4. ADJACENT AREAS: THE STATUS OF SEALED PENETRATIONS AND INTACT CEILING SHALL BE

VERIFIED DAILY.

5. AIR EXCHANGE RATES AND PRESSURE RELATIONSHIPS: VAMC AND CONTRACTOR SHALL VERIFY AND MAINTAIN PROPER RATES IN CRITICAL AREAS NEAR CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY AND ENSURE

AIR IS NOT BEING RE-CIRCULATED WITHOUT FILTRATION FROM THE CONSTRUCTION AREA

ELSEWHERE. PROVIDE AIR PRESSURE TESTING THROUGHOUT THE PROJECT IN THE FREQUENCY

AS IDENTIFIED BY THE COR.

CONTAMINATION OF PATIENT ROOMS, SUPPLIES, EQUIPMENT AND RELATED AREAS

1. WORKSITE CLOTHING: CONTRACTOR PERSONNEL CLOTHING SHALL BE FREE OF LOOSE SOIL AND

DEBRIS BEFORE LEAVING THE CONSTRUCTION AREA. IF PROTECTIVE APPAREL IS NOT WORN

(E.G., COVERALLS, FOOTGEAR AND HEADGEAR) A HEPA-FILTERED VACUUM SHALL BE USED TO

REMOVE DUST FROM CLOTHING BEFORE LEAVING THE BARRICADE. IF PROTECTIVE APPAREL IS

UTILIZED, THE CONTRACTOR SHALL CONSTRUCT A SPACE OR ANTEROOM FOR CHANGING

CLOTHING AND STORING EQUIPMENT (DESIGNATED AREA. ALL EQUIPMENT, TOOLS, TOOL CARTS, AND MATERIALS TRANSPORTED THROUGH OCCUPIED AREAS SHALL BE MADE FREE FROM DUST

AND MOISTURE BY VACUUMING AND WET WIPING BEFORE THEIR REMOVAL FROM THE

CONSTRUCTION ZONE OR WORK AREA.

2. POST CONSTRUCTION: DO NOT REMOVE BARRIERS AND KEEP ALL HVAC ISOLATION UNTIL

CONTRACTOR HAS CLEANED CONSTRUCTION SITE, VA EMS STAFF HAS DONE A TERMINAL

CLEANING, AND VA INFECTIOUS DISEASE CONTROL HAS INSPECTED AND APPROVED THE

CLEANING.

During Construction Project Upon Completion of Project

1. Includes all activities required by Class III

2. Obtain Infection Control Permit from Hospital Safety Officer or Facilities Management

Maintenance and Engineering department before construction begins.

3. Construct and complete critical barriers meeting NFPA 241 requirements. Barriers must extend to the ceiling or if ceiling tile is removed, to the deck above.

4. All (plastic or hard) barrier construction activities must be completed in a manner that prevents dust release. Plastic barriers must be effectively affixed to ground and ceiling and secure from movement or damage. Apply tape that will not leave a residue to seal gaps between barriers, ceiling or floor.

5. Seal all penetrations in containment barriers, including floors and ceiling, using approved materials (UL schedule firestop if applicable for barrier type).

6. Containment units or environmental containment units (ECUs) approved for Class IV precautions in small areas totally contained by the unit and that has HEPA-filtered exhaust air.

7. Remove or isolate return air diffusers to avoid dust entering the HVAC system.

8. Remove or isolate the supply air diffusers to avoid positive pressurization of the space.

9. Negative airflow pattern must be maintained from the entry point to the anteroom and into the construction area. The airflow must cascade from outside to inside the construction area. The entire construction area must remain negatively pressurized.

10. Maintain negative pressurization of the entire workspace by use of HEPA exhaust air systems directed outdoors. Exhaust discharged directly to the outdoors that is 25 feet or greater from entrances, air intakes and windows does not require HEPA-filtered air.

11. If exhaust is directed indoors, then the system must be HEPA filtered. Prior to start of work, HEPA filtration must be verified by particulate measurement as no less than 99.97% efficiency and must not alter or change airflow/pressure relationships in other areas.

12. Exhaust into shared or recirculating HVAC systems, or other shared exhaust systems (e.g., bathroom exhaust) is not acceptable.

13. Install device (e.g., magnehelic, manometer, or digital monitoring) on exterior of work containment to continually monitor negative pressurization. The “ball in the wall” or similar apparatus are not acceptable.

14. Contain all trash and debris in the work area.

15. Nonporous/smooth and cleanable containers (with a hard lid) must be used to transport trash and debris from the construction areas. These containers must be damp-wiped cleaned and free of visible dust/debris before leaving the contained work area.

16. Worker clothing must be clean and free of visible dust before leaving the work area.

HEPA vacuuming of clothing or use of cover suites is acceptable.

17. Workers must wear shoe covers prior to entry into the work area. Shoe covers must be changed prior to exiting the anteroom to the occupied space (non-work area). Damaged shoe covers must be immediately changed.

18. Install a sticky (dust collection) mat at entrance of contained work area based on facility policy. Sticky mats must be changed routinely and when visibly soiled.

19. Consider collection of particulate data during work to monitor and ensure that contaminates do not enter the occupied spaces. Routine collection of particulate samples may be used to verify HEPA filtration efficiencies.

Construction areas must be inspected by an infection preventionist or designee and engineering representative for discontinuation or downgrading of ICRA precautions.

Work Area Cleaning:

1. Clean work areas including all environmental surfaces, high horizontal surfaces and flooring materials.

2. Check all supply and return air registers for dust accumulation on upper surfaces as well as air diffuser surfaces.

Removal of Critical Barriers:

1. Critical barriers must remain in place during all work involving drywall removal, creation of dust and activities beyond simple touch-up work. The barrier may NOT be removed until a work area cleaning has been performed.

2. All (plastic or hard) barrier removal activities must be completed in a manner that prevents dust release. Use the following precautions when removing hard barriers:

1. Carefully remove screws and painter tape.

2. If dust will be generated during screw removal, use hand-held HEPA vacuum.

3. Drywall cutting is prohibited during removal process.

4. Clean all stud tracks with HEPA vacuum before removing outer hard barrier.

5. Use a plastic barrier to enclose area if dust could be generated.

Negative Air Requirements:

1. The use of negative air must be designed to remove contaminates from the work area.

2. Negative air devices must remain operational at all times and in place for a period after completion of dust creating activities to remove contaminants from the work area and before removal of critical barriers.

HVAC systems:

1. Upon removal of critical barriers, remove isolation of HVAC system in areas where work is being performed.

2. Verify that HVAC systems are clean and operational.

3. Verify the HVAC systems meets original airflow and air exchange design specifications.
