This document outlines the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA-1.3, December 2024) template and permit, which is a mandatory baseline for evaluating and mitigating infection risks during facility construction, renovation, and maintenance. Often integrated into federal bidding and request for proposal (RFP) packages, this assessment establishes minimum safety precautions to protect patients and staff from airborne pathogens, dust, and waterborne contaminants. The evaluation framework consists of a multi-step process: determining the construction activity category (ranging from minor Category A maintenance to large-scale Category D construction); assessing the affected and adjacent areas; identifying the overall patient risk level (from Low to Highest Risk based on clinical exposure); and matching these factors to establish one of four precaution levels (Levels I through IV). Each precaution level mandates specific control measures. Lower levels focus on dust prevention, while higher levels (Levels III and IV) require critical barrier construction, continuous negative air pressure monitoring, and formal infection prevention permits. The document also details strict post-activity cleaning, HVAC restoration, and water system flushing protocols prior to project closeout. Appendix A provides approved technical alternatives for exhausting negative air indoors when venting to the building's exterior is unfeasible. Additionally, the file contains a pre-filled, signed permit for an upcoming project at a "Concourse - Service Level" managed by Scott Kawakami and Heidi Hough, classified as a Category A/Low Risk activity requiring Level I precautions.
