1.8 INFECTION PREVENTION MEASURES
A. Implement the requirements of VAMC’s Infection C ontrol Risk Assessment (ICRA) team. ICRA Group may monitor dust in the vic inity of the construction work and require the Contractor to tak e corrective action immediately if the safe levels are exceeded.
B. Establish and maintain a dust control program as part of the contractor’s infection preventive measures in accor dance with the guidelines provided by ICRA Group. Prior to start o f work, prepare a plan detailing project-specific dust protection mea sures, including periodic status reports, and submit to COR and Faci lity ICRA team for review for compliance with contract requirements in accordance with Section 01 33 23, SHOP DRAWINGS, PRODUCT DATA AND S AMPLES.
1. All personnel involved in the construction or re novation activity shall be educated and trained in infection preventi on measures established by the medical center.
C. Medical center Infection Control personnel shall monitor for airborne disease (e.g. aspergillosis) as appropriate during construction.

In addition:
1. The COR and VAMC Infection Control personnel sha ll review pressure differential monitoring documentation to verify tha t pressure differentials in the construction zone and in the p atient-care rooms are appropriate for their settings. The requirement for negative air pressure in the construction zone shall depend on t he location and type of activity. Upon notification, the contractor shall implement corrective measures to restore proper pressure diff erentials as needed.

Provide dust proof one-hour fire-rated temporary drywall construction barriers to completely separate constr uction from the operational areas of the hospital in order to c ontain dirt debris and dust. Barriers shall be sealed and made presentable on hospital occupied side. Install a self-closing rate d door in a metal frame, commensurate with the partition, to al low worker access. Maintain negative air at all times. A fire retardant polystyrene, 6-mil thick or greater plastic barrier meeting local fire codes may be used where dust control is the on ly hazard, and an agreement is reached with the COR and Medical Ce nter.
b. HEPA filtration is required where the exhaust du st may reenter the breathing zone. Contractor shall verify that c onstruction exhaust to exterior is not reintroduced to the medi cal center through intake vents, or building openings. Install HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Accumulator) filter vacuum s ystem rated at 95% capture of 0.3 microns including pollen, mold s pores and dust particles. Insure continuous negative air pressures occurring within the work area. HEPA filters should have ASHR AE 85 or other prefilter to extend the useful life of the HEPA. Pr ovide both primary and secondary filtrations units. Exhaust ho ses shall be heavy duty, flexible steel reinforced and exhausted so that dust is not reintroduced to the medical center.
c. Adhesive Walk-off/Carpet Walk-off Mats, minimum 600mm x 900mm (24” x 36”), shall be used at all interior transiti ons from the construction area to occupied medical center area. These mats shall be changed as often as required to maintain c lean work areas directly outside construction area at all tim es.
d. Vacuum and wet mop all transition areas from con struction to the occupied medical center at the end of each workday. Vacuum shall utilize HEPA filtration. Maintain surrounding area frequently.
01 00 00 -14
Remove debris as they are created. Transport these outside the construction area in containers with tightly fittin g lids.
e. The contractor shall not haul debris through pat ient-care areas without prior approval of the COR and the Medical C enter. When, approved, debris shall be hauled in enclosed dust p roof containers or wrapped in plastic and sealed with du ct tape. No sharp objects should be allowed to cut through the plastic. Wipe down the exterior of the containers with a damp rag to remove dust. All equipment, tools, material, etc. transpor ted through occupied areas shall be made free from dust and moi sture by vacuuming and wipe down.
f. Using a HEPA vacuum, clean inside the barrier an d vacuum ceiling tile prior to replacement. Any ceiling access panel s opened for investigation beyond sealed areas shall be sealed i mmediately when unattended.
g. There shall be no standing water during construc tion. This includes water in equipment drip pans and open cont ainers within the construction areas. All accidental spills must be cleaned up and dried within 12 hours. Remove and dispose of po rous materials that remain damp for more than 72 hours.
h. At completion, remove construction barriers and cei ling protection carefully, outside of normal work hours. Vacuum and clean all surfaces free of dust after the removal.
i. If the project requires activities to be performed in the interstitial space, the Contractor shall take neces sary action, including step-off pads and wet mopping to limit th e amount of interstitial floor material from migrating beyond t he interstitial space.
E. Final Cleanup:
1. Upon completion of project, or as work progresse s, remove all construction debris from above ceiling, vertical sh afts and utility chases that have been part of the construction.
2. Perform HEPA vacuum cleaning of all surfaces in the construction area. This includes walls, ceilings, cabinets, furn iture (built-in or free standing), partitions, flooring, etc.
3. All new air ducts shall be cleaned prior to fina l inspection.
4. Remove all material from work areas. The COR sh all verify all materials have been removed.
