suppression system, electrical and carpentry work to include painting without sanding) that does not create dust or debris.\u003Cbr>􀁸 Clean plumbing activity limited in nature. |\n| --- | --- |\n| Type B | Small-scale, short duration activities that create minimal dust and debris.\u003Cbr>Includes but is not limited to:\u003Cbr>􀁸 Work conducted above the ceiling (e.g. , prolonged inspection or repair of firewalls and barriers, installation of conduit and/or cabling, and access to mechanical and/or electrical chase spaces) .\u003Cbr>􀁸 Fan shutdown/startup.\u003Cbr>􀁸 Installation of electrical devices or new flooring that produces minimal dust and debris.\u003Cbr>􀁸 The removal of drywall where minimal dust and debris is created.\u003Cbr>􀁸 Controlled sanding activities (e.g. , wet

If more than one risk group will be affected, select the higher risk group.  \nTable 2-Patient Risk Group:   \n\n| Low Risk\u003Cbr>Non-patient care areas such as: | Medium Risk\u003Cbr>Patient care support areas such as: | High Risk\u003Cbr>Patient care areas such as: | Highest Risk\u003Cbr>Procedural, invasive, sterile support and highly compromised patient care areas such as: |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 􀁸 Public hallways and gathering areas not on clinical units.\u003Cbr>􀁸 Office areas not on clinical units.\u003Cbr>􀁸 Breakrooms not on clinical units.\u003Cbr>􀁸 Bathrooms or locker rooms not on clinical units.\u003Cbr>􀁸 Mechanical rooms not on clinical units.\u003Cbr>􀁸 EVS closets not on clinical units. | 􀁸\u003Cbr>􀁸 Waiting areas.\u003Cbr>􀁸 Clinical engineering.\u003Cbr>􀁸 Materials management.\u003Cbr>􀁸 Sterile processing department-dirty side.\u003Cbr>􀁸 Kitchen, cafeteria, gift shop, coffee shop, and food kiosks. | 􀁸 Patient care rooms and areas\u003Cbr>􀁸 All acute care units\u003Cbr>􀁸 Emergency department\u003Cbr>􀁸 Employee health\u003Cbr>􀁸 Pharmacy-general work zone\u003Cbr>􀁸 Medication rooms and clean utility rooms\u003Cbr>􀁸 Imaging suites:\u003Cbr>diagnostic imaging\u003Cbr>􀁸 Laboratory. | ~~􀁸 ~~\u003Cbr>􀁸 All transplant and intensive care units.\u003Cbr>􀁸 All oncology units.\u003Cbr>􀁸 OR theaters and restricted areas.\u003Cbr>􀁸 Procedural suites.\u003Cbr>􀁸 Pharmacy compounding.\u003Cbr>􀁸 Sterile processing department\u003Cbr>-clean side.\u003Cbr>􀁸 Transfusion services.\u003Cbr>􀁸 Dedicated isolation wards/units.\u003Cbr>􀁸 Imaging suites: invasive imaging. |\n\nStep Three:  \nMatch the Patient Risk Group (Low, Medium, High, Highest) from Step Two with the planned Construction Activity Project Type (A, B, C, D) from Step One using Table 3 to find the Class of Precautions (I, II, III, IV or V) or level of infection control activities required.
