  Secondary

• Construction Activity Type?<br>

  Type A:

  Type B:

  Type C:

  Type D:

• Type A: Inspection and Non-Invasive activity
  Type B: Small scale, short duration activities creating minimal dust
  Type C: Activity generates moderate to high levels of dust or requires demolition or removal of building components, or requires greater that 1 work shift for completion
  Type D: Major demolition or construction activities requiring consecutive work shifts

• Patient Risk Group:

  Low

  Medium

  High

  Sensitive

• Low: Office Areas
  Medium: Inpatient units, Outpatient units, Physical Therapy, Radiology
  High: Emergency Room, Labor & Delivery, Peds/Newborn, Lab/Pharmacy, Outpatient Surgery, Cafeteria, Treatment Center
  Sensitive: Operating Rooms (including C-section), Central Sterile, Cardiac Cath Lab, Oncology/Neuro, ICC, Dialysis, Pharmacy IV Room, Radiation, Chemo Pt's.

• Class I

  Off

  On

• Immediately replace any ceiling tiles displaced for visual inspection

• Clean Work Area upon completion of work

• Execute work by methods to minimize raising dust from construction operations

• Class II

  Off

  On

• Provide active means to prevent airborne dust from dispersing into atmosphere.

• Seal holes, pipes, conduits and punctures appropriately..

• Seal unused doors with tape.

• Block off and seal air vents.

• Place dust mat at entrance and exit of work.

• Isolate HVAC system in areas where work is being preformed.

• Water mist work surfaces to control dust while cutting.

• Contain construction waste in tightly covered containers before transporting.

• Wet mop and/or vacuum with HEPA filtered vacuum before leaving work area.

• Wipe surfaces with disinfectant.

• Remove isolation of HVAC when approve by MMC project manager or MMC infection control.

• Class III

  Off

  On

• Isolate HVAC system in area work is being performed to prevent contamination of dust system.

• Seal unused doors with tape.

• Complete all critical critical barriers, (sheetrock, plywood, plastic) to seal area form non-work area or implement control cube method (cart with plastic covering and sealed connection to work site with HEPA vacuum for vacuuming prior to exit) before construction begins.

• Seal holes, pipes, conduits and punctures appropriately..

• Place dust mat at entrance and exit of work.

• Maintain negative air pressure within work site utilizing HEPA equipped air filtration units.

• Contain construction waste in tightly covered containers before transporting.

• Do not remove barriers until area is inspected by Infection Control Group and thoroughly cleaned by Environmental Services Department.

• Remove barrier materials carefully to minimize spreading of dirt, dust, and debris. Transport in tightly covered & sealed containers.

• Vacuum work area with HEPA filtered vacuums.

• Wet mop area with disinfectant.

• Construct ante room & require all personnel to pass through so they can be vacuumed using HEPA vacuum cleaner before leaving work area or they can wear cloth or paper coveralls that are removed each time they leave the work area.

• Personnel entering work area are required to wear shoe covers. Shoe covers must be changed each time worker exits work area.

• Contain construction waste in tightly covered & sealed containers containers before transporting.
