About this file
The document is a Contractor Construction Guidelines exhibit from the Maryland Department of Health for the Clifton T. Perkins Hospital Center located in Jessup, MD. These guidelines outline the specific requirements and expectations for contractors working on construction or renovation projects within the hospital facility, with a primary focus on maintaining a safe, comfortable physical environment for patients, visitors, and staff. The document was revised in May 2024 and provides comprehensive instructions for contractors regarding patient safety, facility access, infection control, service disruptions, and professional conduct.
The guidelines emphasize strict protocols such as prohibiting contractor interactions with patients, securing tools and materials, implementing dust barriers, obtaining hospital approval for service disruptions, and completing pre-construction risk assessments. Additional key requirements include maintaining a smoke-free environment, ensuring patient confidentiality, keeping all work areas secure, preventing unsupervised patient access, and immediately ceasing any activities deemed unsafe by hospital personnel. Contractors must dress professionally, use appropriate language, and prioritize patient well-being throughout their project, with potential immediate work stoppage if safety protocols are not followed.

1. The contractor is responsible to ensure that neither it’s employees/representatives nor the employees/representatives sub-contractor or any other personnel on a project fraternize with the patient population. (i.e.- cannot provide food, money, tobacco, matches, fluids, drugs etc.)
2. All tools and materials are to be secured and/or supervised, at all times in such a manner to prevent access to these items by the patient population. It is required that the contractor install or secure areas from dust when necessary by installing dust barriers.
3. The Contractor must request permission for any disruption in services or area utilization related to this project. This request should be made to the designated Hospital Representative 72 hours in advance of any planned disruption. The Contractor must receive approval from the Hospital before proceeding. The Hospital may waive this requirement at its sole discretion, depending on the specific situation.
4. Prior to starting any work, the Contractor must meet any/all expectations for the accountability and responsibility for following the contract as it relates to infection control practices while on site. The Contractor must meet the Hospital representative to review and sign a Pre-Construction Risk Assessment.

The Hospital maintains a “SMOKE FREE” environment. Therefore, no Smoking or the use of any tobacco is permitted on the hospital grounds. No alcohol, drugs, weapons or other contraband/items as determined by the Hospital shall be brought onto the Hospital premises.
The well-being and care of patients is of the utmost importance to this facility’s operations. The Contractor must discuss any situation or condition affecting the safety or the normal day to day patient/staff activities with the Hospital representative or contact the Director of Maintenance at (410) immediately upon becoming aware of such a situation or condition. No work is to proceed in the area of concern until a resolution satisfactory to the Hospital is achieved.
