GENERAL REQUIREMENTS AND
TRAINING RESPONSIBILITY
Orientation/Training
All outside contract employees and vendors must
review the orientation/training information
provided in this booklet by St. Vincent before
performing any work at any St. Vincent facility.
Depending on the activity or extent of work you
are completing, some of the sections will not
apply and in some areas additional
orientation/training may be required. Contractors
and vendors will be notified if additional
requirements need to be met before the
commencement of an activity.
Enforcement of Safety Regulations
St. Vincent Hospital and Health Services is first
and foremost concerned about the safety and well
being of our patients, visitors, associates and
contract employees. Contractors and vendors are
expected to be concerned for their own safety and
the safety of others. Compliance with St. Vincent
policies, procedures and governmental safety
regulations is required, as well as correction of
any deficiencies noted during the completion of a
project.
Indianapolis: North West Lot, white lined area
Carmel: West of Professional Office Building
in white striped area
Sign In/Check In
Upon arrival, all individuals must contact the
department for which they will be working.
Between the hours of 1600 and 0600, all
individuals must sign in with Security at the main
security office, which is located by the Emergency
Department entrance at the Indianapolis or
Carmel Hospitals.
Identification
All individuals must wear their company's
identification badge, St. Vincent contractor
identification badge or other identification
deemed appropriate by Security at all times.
Insurance
Each contractor must provide documentation of
insurance and all pertinent permits related to the
contracted work.
Fire Systems/Creating Smoke Dust or Mists
When work that creates smoke, dust or mists is
performed, the fire detection system in the area of
work must be rendered inoperable so that the dust
or smoke does not accidentally activate the alarm
system. Contact Security Services to complete the
correct fire alarm interruption permit.
Burn Permit Policy
It is the responsibility of the contractor to obtain a
burn permit prior to welding, brazing, soldering,
or open flame work of any type.
To obtain a burn permit, the contractor is to get
with the trade section in which he or she has been
contracted to work. It is the responsibility of the
trade associate to explain the burn permit policy
to the contractor and inspect the area in which the
work is being performed.
No Smoking Policy
There will be no smoking at any St. Vincent
facility, inside or outside. This policy, effective
January 1, 2006, will be strictly enforced and
contractors will be sanctioned up to and including
termination of contract.
Asbestos
St. Vincent Indianapolis has sprayed asbestos
fireproofing in the chase area above the false
ceiling and has asbestos containing floor tiles in
certain areas of the building. The asbestos in the
building is managed so that it does not present a
hazard to our guests or associates. For this reason,
any contractor conducting work above the ceiling
or completing work that involves disturbing floor
tiles, should contact Facilities Services before
beginning any work and must follow the
appropriate hospital policies in relation to
asbestos management.
Warning Signs and Labels
Contractors are expected to observe and obey all
warning signs and labels. These include, but are
not limited to the following:
conducive to the safety of patients, visitors and
hospital associates. Should a life-threatening
situation exist, preservation of human life should
take priority.
During a Code R.A.C.E., which is the code name
for fire, try to remain calm. The greatest danger in
most fires is panic. NEVER SHOUT FIRE!
Person(s) Discovering Fire/Smoke
Upon discovery of fire or smoke, try to notify a
St. Vincent associate and implement the following
procedures:
1. RESCUE and remove person(s) in immediate
danger from the hazardous area to an area of
safety. (Only if this can be done safely and
without putting yourself in immediate danger.)
2. ACTIVATE alarm and report the fire/smoke
as quickly as possible in the following
manner:
a. Pull the nearest alarm (usually located
near exits). It is important to pull the fire
alarm as quickly as possible. Activation of
the alarm sends an immediate signal for
help to the fire department and to St.
Vincent Telecommunications.
b. Call St. Vincent Telecommunications at
extension "82000" when at the Indiana-
polis, Stress Center, and Carmel hospitals
and:
i. give exact location of fire/smoke;
ii. identify what is burning and how
extensive the situation is;
iii. give your name and the extension
number of the telephone you are
calling from
3. CONTAIN the area to isolate the fire by
closing all windows and doors. Also, all
doors and windows on the floor above and
the floor below must be closed.
4. EXTINGUISH the fire by utilizing available
resources (extinguishers, blankets, water,
etc.) if you have been trained on how to use
them.
a. Consider the importance of personal
safety.
b. All hospital fire extinguishers are A-B-C
rated and can be used on any type of fire.
All subcontractors are responsible
for providing and displaying fire
extinguishers if work is performed
in a project in which hospital-
owned extinguishers are not
accessible or when hospital-owned
extinguishers are not within 50 feet
of project.
GENERAL FIRE SAFETY
1. Ensure hallways are kept clear to enable
rapid escape in the event of an emergency.
2. Do not block fire doors in an open position.
Doors must be able to close automatically
in the event of a fire.
The Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) is a governmental agency
instituted to ensure safety in the work place.
OSHA requires employers to inform their
employees of hazardous chemicals in their work
area as their "Right-to- Know."
Overall responsibilities for organization and
maintenance of the Hazard Communication
Program (HCP) are assigned to the Indianapolis
and Carmel Health and Safety Specialists.
Inventory and Evaluation
All contract employees are responsible for making
the MSDS available for each chemical substance
they bring onto the grounds or in any St. Vincent
facility for use.
An inventory of chemicals in use within St.
Vincent's facilities has been performed by
reviewing Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs)
on hand and by questioning departmental
supervisors.
The Indianapolis and Carmel Safety Officer(s)
will maintain a master file of all hazardous
chemical MSDSs. The MSDS database is located
on the St. Vincent Intranet, right side under FYI
and identified as Maxcom – Material Safety Data
Sheets.
Access to MSDS's
Associates and contract employees have open
access to all MSDSs for chemicals used by St.
Vincent. Contract employees can reference the
MSDSs located in their work area at any time or
may receive a copy of any MSDS by contacting
the Safety Officer or the Carmel Safety Officer.
Container Labeling Requirements
All containers of hazardous materials shall be
labeled in English. All labels include the
material's identity, name of manufacturer and
appropriate hazard warnings. One common
labeling format utilizes the National Fire
Protection Association's (NFPA) hazardous
material sign. The readily recognized NFPA
"diamond" colorfully indicates health, fire,
reactivity and specific hazard information by
numerically rating the degree of hazard on a scale
of 0 to 4. The higher the number, the greater the
hazard.
The top section is for "Fire" and is in Red. The
left section is "Health Hazard" and is in Blue.
The right section is "Reactivity" and is in Yellow.
The bottom section of the diamond is White and
is reserved for "Special Hazards" such as "reacts
with water."
Labels for any hazardous substance may also be
obtained by contacting the Safety Officers.
Definition and Classifications of Hazardous
Chemicals
OSHA defines a hazardous chemical as "any
chemical which is a physical or health hazard."
Events, which could devastate our work
environment, such as fire and explosion, are
Sensitizers: a chemical that causes a
substantial portion of exposed people to
develop an allergic reaction in normal tissue
after repeated exposure, e.g., contrast agents.
Exposure to acute health hazards requires
immediate attention. An example of an accident
involving an acute health hazard is an Oncology
nurse getting splashed with a chemotherapeutic
drug.
Chronic hazards may not produce their effects
immediately. The results from these hazards are
usually long term, and can be irreparable. The
main types of chronic hazards are carcinogenicity,
teratogenicity, mutagenicity and long-term organ
effects. An example of a chronic health hazard is
asbestos. Construction workers at the hospital
wear respirators and coveralls to decrease their
exposure to asbestos. Additionally, all asbestos
removal in the hospital is performed in a negative
pressure containment by a licensed asbestos
abatement company.
CHEMICAL SPILL RESPONSE
Early detection of an accidental spill or leak of a
hazardous chemical is very important. An
individual's five senses are used for detection.
SEE the spill, leak or fire.
HEAR an explosion or leak.
SMELL a leak or gas release.
TOUCH a box that is damp from a leak.
TASTE a chemical leak from an aerosol.
Do not intentionally smell, touch or
taste a chemical in an effort to
identify it. Inhalation, skin
absorption and ingestion are routes
of entry for chemicals into the body.
In the event of a chemical spill or release
requiring emergency response, evacuate
immediate area and call:
82000 Indianapolis and Carmel
Hospitals
911 Other Off-Site Facilities
LOCKOUT AND TAGOUT
The Lockout/Tagout program establishes
procedures for attachment of appropriate lockout
and tagout devices for energy isolation and
disabling of a machine or system. These
procedures prevent unexpected energization.
Special Provisions for Contract Employees
1. All outside service personnel who must
perform maintenance, servicing, or repair to a
machine or system are required to read
Facilities Services Policy Lockout/Tagout
and follow requirements in Occupational
Safety and Health Administration lockout/
tagout regulation 1910.147.
2. The hospital is to be informed of the
contractor lockout/tagout procedures.
3. All equipment/systems, which are to be
serviced by outside personnel, will be tagged/
locked out first by a hospital associate. The
CONFINED SPACE ENTRY
All St. Vincent Hospital and Health Service
facilities have developed a confined space entry
policy to conduct safe operations during confined
space entry. The policy is designed to comply
with OSHA confined space entry standard, 29
CFR 1910.146 and supersedes all previous St.
Vincent confined space entry policies and
procedures.
The confined space entry program applies to all
St. Vincent personnel, contractors, and site
visitors who may enter confined work spaces such
as, but not limited to, underground storage tanks
(USTs), process vessels, ventilation ducts, utility
vaults, boilers, incinerators, etc.
The general policy of St. Vincent states that
employees, subcontractors and site visitors are to
avoid confined space entry situations. In the event
that an entry must be conducted, all provisions of
the Confined Space Entry policy must be strictly
applied.
All confined spaces are identified as a "confined
space" or "permit required confined space" with
signage to prevent unauthorized entry into these
spaces.
Special Provisions for Contractors
Any St. Vincent contractor performing a permit
required confined space entry at a St. Vincent
facility or in conjunction with a St. Vincent
project must comply with all provisions of the St.
Vincent Confined Space Entry program and any
additional provisions that may be required by the
contractor's confined space program. All confined
space entries performed by the contractor must be
coordinated through St. Vincent.
The following information is to be supplied to the
Manager of Facility Services and the hospital
Safety Officer:
1. Confined space entry location, date and time
2. Explanation of entry and duration
3. Equipment used:
respirators
retrieval equipment
monitoring equipment
ventilating equipment
4. Training supplied to confined space team
5. Permits used
St. Vincent will inform contractor personnel of
any specific known confined space hazards and
applicable St. Vincent safety and emergency
procedures.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:
TYPES AND TRAINING INFORMATION
The following sections provide some specific
information and general guidelines on different
categories of PPE that are or might be used at St.
Vincent Hospital. Contractors/ Vendors should
read and review the sections that address the PPE
that they will be utilizing and obtain any required
department or job specific information from their
Each affected person who wears prescription
glasses while engaged in operations that involve
eye hazards shall wear eye protection that
incorporates the prescription in the design, or
shall wear eye protection that can be worn over
the prescription lenses without disturbing the
proper position of the prescription lenses or the
protective lenses.
All eye protectors used at St. Vincent must meet
the following minimum requirements:
Bear the name of manufacturer and the
symbol "Z-87"* on the side-bar or
template.
Adequately protect against the particular
hazards for which they are designed;
Be reasonably comfortable when worn
under the designated conditions;
Fit snugly without interfering with the
movements or vision of the wearer;
Be durable;
Be capable of being disinfected;
Be easily cleaned; and
Be kept clean and in good repair.
*Note: Shaded eyewear used with lasers or
welding is required to meet appropriate ANSI
standards other than Z-87.
Head Protection
Wearing of protective helmets is required when
working in areas where there is a potential for
injury to the head from falling objects. Protective
helmets designed to reduce electrical shock
hazard shall be worn when working near exposed
electrical conductors which could contact the
head.
Arm and Hand Protection
Use of appropriate hand protection is required
when hands are exposed to hazards such as those
from skin absorption of harmful substances;
severe cuts or lacerations; severe abrasions;
punctures; chemical burns; thermal burns; and
harmful temperature extremes. Injuries to arms
and hands are burns, cuts, electrical shock,
amputation, and absorption of chemicals. There
is a wide assortment of gloves, hand pads, and
sleeves available for protection against various
hazardous situations. The protective device
should be selected to fit the job. For example,
some gloves are designed to protect against
specific chemical hazards. What is good to protect
against one chemical might be totally ineffective
against another.
Permitted Clothing/Work Attire
Denim, blue jean pant or khaki pants are
permitted provided they are free of tears, holes or
disfigured appearance. Shorts are not permitted
on any interior project.
Shirts must be collared and free of tears, holes
and any type of advertisement deemed offensive
or non-professional. St. Vincent Hospitals
reserve all rights to determine appropriate attire
or cracked soles or has had a heavy object fall on
the safety toe should also be replaced.
BLOODBORNE PATHOGENS
Where potential exposure to blood and body
fluids is likely, the contractor's/vendor's employer
is responsible for OSHA bloodborne pathogens
training. Contractors/vendors who need additional
information on personal protective equipment
requirements should contact the
unit's/department's charge person or bloodborne
pathogens trainer.
TUBERCULOSIS (TB)
Contractors/vendors will not routinely be
permitted to enter isoloation, procedure or patient
rooms where a suspect or known TB patient is
present and unmasked. If a contractor/vendor is
required to enter such an area to fulfill a
contractual obligation, the unit charge person
must be notified. The contractor will then be
supplied with a positive air-purifying respirator
(PAPR) to wear.

SECTION 01 35 33 - INFECTION CONTROL PROCEDURES
PART 1 - GENERAL
1.1 RELATED DOCUMENTS
A. Drawings and general provisions of the Contract, including General and Supplementary
Conditions and Division 1 Specification Sections, apply to this Section.
1.2 SUMMARY
A. This Section includes policies and procedures required of the Contractor to prevent transmission
of infectious agents to vulnerable patient populations, health care workers and visitors within
the Hospital environment.
B. Related Sections include the following:
1. Division 01 Section "Temporary Facilities and Controls" for additional procedures and
construction of temporary barriers.
2. Division 15 Sections for cleaning heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems and
ductwork prior to operation.
C. Alternates: Refer to Division 1 Section "Alternates" for description of Work in this Section
affected by alternates.
1.3 DEFINITIONS
A. Aspergillus: A thermotolerant fungus that causes significant disease among immuno-
compromised hosts that will disseminate to other organs including the skin and the brain. These
fungi are ubiquitous, found in soil, water, dust and decaying material. Aspergillus have been
cultured from unfiltered air, ventilation systems, contaminated dust dislodged during hospital
renovation and construction, horizontal surfaces, food, and ornamental plants. Aspergillus
spores are easily suspended in the air and survive for prolonged periods. Because of their size,
they are easily inhaled, which can lead to invasive infection of both the upper and lower
respiratory tracts in a susceptible host.
B. Biocide: A physical or chemical agent that is capable of killing microorganisms.
C. Immunocompromised: A condition where a patient’s immune response is reduced or absent.
Because defense mechanisms are limited in immunocompromised patients, they are susceptible
to infections by microorganisms that are present everywhere, but do not cause disease in healthy
people.

____________________________________________________________________________________
INFECTION CONTROL PROCEDURES 01 35 33- 2
D. Nosocomial: An infection that is acquired in a hospital or as a result of medical care.
E. Negative Pressure: The relative air pressure difference between two areas in a healthcare
facility. A space that is at negative pressure has a lower pressure than adjacent areas, ensuring
that any directional air movement is from the clean air environment into the contained area and
preventing contaminated air from escaping into adjacent rooms or areas through doors,
openings and cracks.
F. HEPA: An acronym that stands for high efficiency particulate air. A HEPA filter is an air filter
capable of capturing 99.97% of particles as small as .3 microns.
G. Multi-Stage Filtering: Successive, filtering that prevents early loading of filters with
contaminants and thereby delaying reduced airflow. Typical multi-stage filters might consist of
a large particulate filter (10 microns), a smaller particulate filter (5 microns), an activated
charcoal filter (odors) and a HEPA filter (.3 microns).
H. Negative Pressure Machine: Freestanding, portable device that creates a negative air pressure
within a space. It does so by removing air via flexible ductwork from the containment area.
The units can also be placed remotely from the containment area and use ductwork to remove
air from the controlled environment.
I. Portable Air Scrubber: Freestanding, portable device that removes airborne contaminants by
recirculating air through a HEPA filter. Portable air scrubbers can also serve as negative
pressure machines by exhausting the recirculated air from the containment area.
J. Containment: The process of isolating a contaminated area from the rest of the facility.
Depending on the work to be done and the equipment required, airlocks, pass throughs, and
equipment rooms may be necessary. Full containment always requires that negative pressure be
maintained inside the containment area.
1. Containment Requiring Activities include, but are not limited to the following:
a. Demolition and removal of walls, floors, ceilings and other building finish
materials.
b. Demolition of plumbing, mechanical and electrical systems and equipment.
c. Finish operations such as sanding, painting and application of special surface
coatings.
d. All routine construction activity that can generate dust.
e. Sitework operations.
2. Source containment can also be used with localized negative pressure if a very small area
is involved. A small piece of plastic sheet can be taped around the area to be removed.
A small HEPA vacuum is used for this purpose by inserting the inlet nozzle inside this
small containment to create a negative pressure and to vacuum up released particles.
K. Containment Area: The construction activity area, adjacent staging and storage areas, passages
for construction personnel to access the project site and delivery and removal of supplies and
waste. It includes the entire volume of the project area including ceilings spaces above and

adjacent to the construction area. Containment areas are determined by the Owner’s
Representative and the Hospital’s Infection Control Committee.
L. Pressure Differential: The difference in magnitude between a reference pressure and a variable
pressure.
M. Source containment can also be used with localized negative pressure if a very small area is
involved. A small piece of poly sheet can be taped around the area to be removed. A small
HEPA vacuum is used for this purpose by inserting the inlet nozzle inside this small
containment to create a negative pressure and to vacuum up released particles.
N. Air changes per hour is equal to the air filtered (in cubic feet) in one hour divided by the
containment area size (in cubic feet), or
Air Changes Per Hour (AC/H) = Cubic Feet of Air filtered in 1 Hour
Containment Area Size in Cubic Feet
O. Protection Area: The designated project limits, hospital areas adjacent to containment area,
either occupied or used for passage and areas connected to construction areas by mechanical
system intake, exhaust and ductwork. Protection areas are determined by the Owner’s
Representative and the Hospital’s Infection Control Committee.
P. Minor Ceiling Access: Removal of limited ceiling or access panels for visual observation, minor
adjustments or other activities that do not disturb dust. All acoustical and access panels shall be
closed immediately upon leaving the worksite.
Q. Major Ceiling Access: Removal of ceiling panels or systems that is not defined as “minor”.
R. Thorough Cleaning: Cleaning of surfaces that become exposed to dust shall be accomplished by
the use of either a HEPA-filtered vacuum cleaner or a wet mop.
S. Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA): A broad, long-range involvement of a Hospital’s
infection control/epidemiology leadership to assess the risk to patients and the Hospital
environment to airborne contamination.
1.4 POLICY
A. The intent of this policy is to minimize nosocomial infections in patients that may arise as a
result of exposure to organisms released into the environment during construction and
renovation activities. Controlling the dispersal of airborne or waterborne infectious agents
concealed within building components is critical in all St. Vincent Carmel Hospital facilities.
B. Patient Care Objectives: All construction and renovation activities shall be defined and
managed in such a way that patients’ and occupants’ exposure to dust, moisture and their
accompanying hazards is limited.

INFECTION CONTROL PROCEDURES 01 35 33- 4
1. Aspergillosis and related nosocomial fungal infections are caused through inhalation by
immunocompromised patients of aspergillus spores, or other related spores, that can be
present in the construction environment. The spores are known to be prolifically present
in construction dust, debris and earthwork excavation dust. Outbreaks are associated
with unfiltered air, contaminated ventilation systems at intake and exhaust ducts, and dust
that is dislodged by renovation and construction. Control of construction dust, debris and
excavation dust is imperative to help prevent outbreaks of aspergillosis or related
nosocomial fungal infections in immunocompromised patients.
a. Inhalation of aspergillus spores or other fungal spores by immunocompromised
patients can lead to serious complications and death.
b. Aspergillus and other related spores are present in the natural environment and are
not a risk to healthy construction workers.
2. Airborne contaminant control is critical in all Hospital areas. Contractor shall limit
dissemination of airborne contaminants produced by construction-related activities, in
order to provide protection of immunocompromised patients, other patients, staff,
diagnostic operations and sensitive procedures and medical equipment from possible
undesirable effects of exposure to such contaminants.
3. Dust in ceilings and construction debris contains fungus spores. Construction activities
causing disturbance of existing dust, or creating new dust, or other airborne
contaminants, must be conducted in tight enclosures cutting off any flow of particles into
patient areas.
4. Ceilings and walls in protected areas and other areas within the Hospital as indicated on
Drawings must be secure from airborne transmissions at all times. If access into the
ceiling in occupied areas is required, procedures described within this Section shall be
followed.
5. Enclosed carts must be used when transporting construction debris and materials
throughout the Hospital environment. The Owner Representative and Infection Control
Committee shall approve the transportation path and destination terminus prior to
commencing the project.
1.5 PROCEDURES
A. The Owner’s Representative in conjunction with the Hospital’s Infection Control Committee
will:
1. Determine the infection control project classification using the matrices (located below).
2. Coordinate the relocation of affected patients and pedestrian traffic routes to areas where
there is less potential for exposure to airborne contaminants with the responsible
departments.
3. Coordinate the preparation of the project area, including the removal of medical supplies,
waste, and equipment, prior to the commencement of project activities with the
responsible departments.
