The VHA Pre-Construction Risk Assessment (PCRA) template, VHA-PCRA-2024-1.1, provides minimum requirements for categorizing the type and safety risk of construction, renovation, and maintenance activities within VHA facilities. This template ensures appropriate precautions are taken to prevent impact on patients, employees, and contractors. It outlines control measures for three activity types: Inspection/Upkeep, Small-scale, and Large-scale, with increasing levels of control for higher risk activities. The document emphasizes the use of activity statements of work and drawings for assessment, and mandates communication and coordination plans with affected areas. A critical component is the requirement to use this PCRA in conjunction with the VHA Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA) if infection risks are present. The document includes a fillable permit form for posting at activity sites and details requirements for assessing and coordinating with adjacent areas. The current project involves upgrading HVAC digital controls across Waco and Temple medical campuses, categorized as a "Small Scale" activity. An ICRA is required, and initial walkthroughs are planned to re-evaluate ICRA levels for each location. Key personnel, including the Project Manager, Safety Officer, and Chair of the Construction Safety Committee, have signed off on the permit.

The VHA Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA) template (VHA ICRA-1.3, December 2024) provides minimum requirements for categorizing construction, renovation, and maintenance activities within VHA facilities to prevent infection risks. It guides users through a four-step process: identifying the activity category (A, B, C, or D), assessing affected areas, determining overall patient risk (Low, Medium, High, or Highest), and establishing the necessary level of infection prevention and control precautions (I, II, III, or IV). The document details specific control measures for each precaution level, escalating from basic dust control to advanced containment with negative pressurization and anterooms for higher-risk activities. It also outlines required post-activity cleaning and inspection protocols. A permit form is included for Level III and IV activities, which must be posted at the project site. An appendix offers an alternative interior exhaust procedure for negative air systems when outdoor exhaust is not feasible, emphasizing HEPA filtration and continuous particulate monitoring.
