G-101 General Notes and Infection Control ICRA..pdf

This document is a General Notes and Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA) specification sheet for construction and facilities management purposes.

The document outlines the purpose of infection control risk assessment as a means to minimize potential hazards for spread of infections and to address air quality, containment, and contamination of work at the project site. The ICRA establishes an approach through coordination between the infection preventionist, facilities/construction leadership, and infection control measures, including assessment and management of HVAC systems and appropriate use of barriers and construction methodology. The document specifies that the contractor must strictly adhere to all infection control requirements in the field and document compliance. Key requirements include contractor responsibility for infection control and safety measures, phasing summary based on general and specific phases, and detailed infection control procedures specific to the work being performed. The assessment addresses handling of dust, debris, and contaminated materials; specification of engineering controls including negative pressure rooms and HEPA filtration; procedural protocols such as work hour restrictions and traffic patterns; and containment and decontamination procedures. The phasing summary details requirements for general setup phases, demolition and construction work, completion of unused components, and final cleanup and restoration. The document emphasizes that all work shall be scheduled and coordinated with the infection prevention department to ensure minimal disruption to facility operations and patient care.
