About this file
This document contains an Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA) form and related materials for a federal construction project to correct miscellaneous HVAC issues at a Department of Veterans Affairs medical center.
The ICRA form provides details on the proposed project such as location, description of work, potential risks and mitigation strategies. It evaluates the type of construction, patient risk level and determines an overall project class. Accompanying materials include interim life safety measures checklists, a formal contract outlining mandatory precautions, and an inspection form. The related federal contract opportunity lists the solicitation number and description for corrective HVAC work at the same Veterans Affairs medical center. Key information provided includes the involved agency, project scope, and assessment of infection control and safety requirements.

Directions
| Instructions |
| 1. On tab 1 fill in information for Project Title or Type of Work, Project No., COTR., and Start and Completion Date. |
| 2. Input a brief Description of work. |
| 3. On tab 8 Give a detailed step by step description of work, and all risks/hazards associated with each step of the work, and the step being taken to reduce/ eliminate the risks/ hazards.. |
| 4. review tab 7 and determine what type of work is being done and the level of risk to patients and staff. Once the type and risk level have been determind return to tab1 and input those into the ICRA form just below the Brief Description, then take those findings and locate them on the chart just below that to determine the overall project class. |
| 5. After determining the over all project class go to tab 2. Depending on the over all project class it will tell what precautions that need to be put into place prior to construction starting and remain in place throughout construction, and what steps that need to be done after construction is complete to ensure the work area is completely clean. |
| 6.Review tab 3 and answer the questions Yes/No in the top chart, any yes answers will give you measures in the lower chart that need to be put into place prior to construction and remain in place throughout construction. |
| 7. Once the form has been completed it needs to be sent to the Construction Safety Committee for review and approval. If anyone has any question about the ICRA they will contact the person submitting the form for clarification prior to approval. |
| 8. Please try to submit ICRA's to the committee the week prior to the start date. |
| 9. The committee will be reviewing ICRA's for all current projects and any new ICRA's that have been submitted for approval on Friday's prior to Construction Safety Rounds. |
| The committee consists of |
