Description

This is amendment 03 for N62645-06-R-0009, Infant Security System purchase including requiring complete install to NMCSD. Infection Control Policy for Construction and Renovation Background Fungal spores occur naturally in the environment, such as soil & plants. These spores can also be found in plaster, building materials, ceiling tiles and dust. The generation of dust during construction and maintenance activities may cause dispersal and dissemination of fungal spores. Although usually not a problem for a healthy person, in the health care environment, these spores can cause serious illness or even death in some individuals. For this reason it is important that correct infection control and dust control measures be followed during construction and maintenance activities. Risk Areas Buildings 1 through 6 are divided into high risk and low risk areas depending upon patient acuity and the patient care activities carried out. Color-coded drawings designating high and low risk areas are available thorough Facilities Management. Together with the Infection Control Section, Facilities Management will update the drawings at least annually. Contractors planning construction or maintenance activities must review a copy of these drawings and provide appropriate barrier precautions for the designated areas. Construction Project Activities Construction project activities are grouped by invasiveness and potential for generating dust. Type A ? Inspection and non-invasive activities Includes but is not limited to: - removal of ceiling tiles for visual inspection - painting (but not sanding) - wallcovering, electrical trim work, minor plumbing, and 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 that 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 mitigation can be controlled Type C ? Work that generates a moderate to high level of dust or requires demolition or removal of any fixed building components or assemblies Includes but is not limited to: - sanding of walls for painting or wall covering - removal of floor coverings, 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 or removal of a complete cabling system - new construction Infection Control Precautions Level 1 ? Routine Infection Control Precautions A. Maintain manpower and equipment, including dust mops, wet mops, brooms, buckets and clean wiping cloths for cleaning fine dust from floors. B. Clean up dust tracked outside of work area immediately. C. Dampen surfaces, if needed, to control dust. D. Debris will be removed in tightly covered containers. E. Ceiling tiles removed for any reason will be replaced at the end of the workday. F. Affix temporary closures or make permanent repairs to any holes or openings in walls, ceilings or floors prior to leaving the area. Level 2 ? Localized Precautions To Level 1 Routine Infection Control Procedures add: A. Arrange to reroute unnecessary traffic in the area and place signage indicating temporary route, if appropriate B. Use control cube for ceiling work if area cannot be vacated. Control tube must extend from floor to ceiling and be dust tight. C. Seal doorways for projects that generate large amounts of dust. D. Seal or filter exhaust & ventilation ducts. Where practical, increase exhaust in the area. E. Install tack mats at interior and exterior of all openings that allow egress from the work area. Change tack mats at least daily (or according to manufacture?s recommendations). Level 3 ? Rigid Barrier Precautions To Level 1 and Level 2 controls add: A. Erect rigid walls at entrances and exits, or create an airtight plastic barrier prior to the beginning of the construction and demolition. Each entrance and exit must be constructed so that it has a door or double flap of plastic to prevent the escape of dust and other airborne contaminants B. Isolate HVAC system in area where work is being done. Seal all vent openings before work begins to prevent contamination of the duct system. C. Maintain negative pressure within work site using HEPA-equipped air filtration units. D. Upon completion of work, vacuum work area with HEPA filtered vacuums. Wet mop area with hospital-grade disinfectant. Infection Control Precautions Needed Construction Activities Type A Type B Type C Type D Low Risk Area Level 1 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 High Risk Area Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 3 "#26 & #42 - All of the wards are considered "high risk" areas and will require higher levels of dust containment. The hallways are considered "low risk" and a lower levels of containment can be used. The level of containment used depends upon the work activities that may generate dust.
