About this file
This document contains an Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA) for an upcoming construction project at the Overton Brooks VA Medical Center in Shreveport, Louisiana. The project, numbered 667-18-121, involves upgrading and replacing the surgery HVAC system and roofing. The ICRA classifies the project as a Type C activity based on the scope of work, which will generate a moderate to high level of dust and require demolition of fixed building components. The affected patient risk groups are determined to be high and highest risk, including operating rooms, intensive care units, oncology, and other areas where immunocompromised patients receive care. Based on the construction type and patient risk, the ICRA matrix circles Class III/IV precautions, the second highest level. The preliminary ICRA is approved, and will require a final signed ICRA to be posted at the construction site once awarded and during project execution.

Infection Prevention & Control Construction Risk Assessment (ICRA)
*A preliminary ICRA is required for contracting purposes only; do not post during construction. The FINAL ICRA must be posted at the construction site.
Project: OR Air Handlers 667-18-121 Preliminary Assessment* by: Vickie L Moore Date:_2/2/2022_
FINAL ICRA Determined and Processed by: Final Date: ___
STEP ONE: CIRCLE the Type of Construction Project based on scope and expected activity (Type A-D)
TYPE
A
Inspection and Non-Invasive Activities. Includes, but is not limited to:
▪ removal of ceiling tiles for visual inspection only, e.g., limited to 1 tile per 50 square feet
▪ painting (but not sanding)
▪ wallcovering, electrical trim work, minor plumbing, activities which do not generate dust or require cutting of walls or access to ceilings other than for visual inspection.
TYPE
B
Small scale, short duration activities which create minimal dust Includes, but is not limited to:
▪ installation of telephone and computer cabling
▪ access to chase spaces
▪ cutting of walls or ceiling where dust migration can be controlled.
▪ Project Specific: Contracted asbestos abatement
TYPE
C
Work generates a moderate/high level of dust or requires demolition/removal of any fixed building components or assemblies Includes, but is not limited to:
▪ sanding of walls for painting or wall covering
▪ removal of floorcoverings, ceiling tiles and casework; new wall construction
▪ minor duct work or electrical work above ceilings
▪ major cabling activities
▪ any activity which cannot be completed within a single work shift.
TYPE
D
Major demolition and construction projects Includes, but is not limited to:
▪ activities which require consecutive work shifts
▪ requires heavy demolition, removal of a complete cabling system, or excavation
▪ new construction.
STEP TWO: CIRCLE the affected Patient Risk Groups. If more than one risk group will be affected, select the higher risk group.
