Attachment - ICRA - PRA - Replace roof and windows B4.pdf

This document is a Project Risk & Impact Assessment for a construction project at the Alexandria VA Health Care System involving roof and window replacement for Building 4. The project is estimated to last 360 days, with a PRA number of 2024-005, and involves high-risk construction activities that generate moderate to high levels of dust, including wall sanding, floor covering removal, and new wall construction. Key risk assessment elements include potential impacts on noise, vibration, air quality, and infection control hazards, with specific precautions required for different construction activity classes to minimize disruption to hospital operations.

The assessment categorizes risks across multiple dimensions, including TB transmission risk, patient risk groups, and construction site location risks. The project requires careful management of dust control, temporary partitions, fire safety measures, and coordination with various hospital departments. Mandatory interim life safety measures include maintaining unobstructed exits, emergency vehicle access, fire alarm system integrity, prohibiting smoking, and ensuring increased hazard surveillance. Multiple departments and safety representatives have reviewed and signed off on the risk assessment, including Chief Engineering Services, Facilities Safety Manager, Patient Safety Manager, Infection Control Nurse, and Emergency Management.
