JHH Evacuation Plans

The following evacuation plans are intended to augment the procedures outlined in the Fire Incident Responsibilities categorized by personnel group. All staff have the authority to evacuate any individual from immediate danger, however wholesale or mass evacuation is performed only on the order of a competent authority (see below). In Health Care Occupancies, upon alarm activation, staff members will implement a defend-in-place philosophy and take steps to prepare for possible limited or total evacuation. Specific preparation steps are outlined in the Fire Incident Responsibilities. The decision to evacuate all or part of a unit, floor or building must be made by a competent authority, i.e., Baltimore City Fire Department; representative of the Department of Health, Safety and Environment; senior administrative official of the JHMI; or Security Shift Supervisor. Staff will utilize the Unit Specific Life Safety Plan to assist with any coordination of patients during the event. Areas classified as Business Occupancies are required to evacuate all patients, personnel, and visitors when the fire alarm sounds on these floors, or when ordered to evacuate by a competent authority. Evacuation means leaving the building under alarm, which most often can be accomplished by moving horizontally to an adjacent building. Please familiarize yourself with the evacuation plan which follows for your building. Occupants of buildings that are on a high-rise notification system (alarm is activated one floor above and one floor below the affected floor) and are not directly connected to another building until further below (i.e Meyer 9), must have two floors separating you from the floor that is in alarm.

General Policy
I. Purpose The purpose of the CLASP is to ensure construction, renovation and maintenance activities within the Johns Hopkins Health System (JHHS) is conducted in a manner that minimize safety hazards to the patients, visitors, staff and construction forces.
II. Features A In accordance with the Joint Commission standards, the program is designed to institute and document Interim Life Safety Measures (ILSM) that temporarily compensate for any hazard posed to the existing life safety systems by construction, repair or renovation efforts. B. The program is a series of actions and procedures to ensure the safety of the occupants of the construction and adjacent work areas, when compromises are imposed upon the fire alarm, smoke detection, suppression systems, egress, compartmentation and infection control features. Infection control has its own set of procedures, notifications and monitoring, explained in a later section. C. The program is intended to ensure contractors and in-house work forces comply with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Maryland Occupational Safety and Health (MOSH), all Johns Hopkins Health System (JHHS) safety policies, standards and other authorities having jurisdiction. D. The Construction Safety Coordinator (CSC) or Project Manager (PM) at JHBMC is an integral part of CLASP, providing a primary liaison between the Project Managers (PMs), Facilities Engineering Supervisors (FES), the Johns Hopkins Hospital Office of Health, Safety and Environment (HSE), Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center Environment, Health and Safety (EHS), the Johns Hopkins Hospital Office of Healthcare Epidemiology and Infection Control (HEIC) and Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center Infection Control. The CSC/PM inspects jobsites for occupational and user safety, and directs changes in practices and procedures pro-actively before emergency measures are necessary. The role of the CSC is assigned to multiple persons at JHH and it is the PM, EHS and Security at JHBMC. In the absence of the primary CSC, one of the alternates assumes the responsibility. The CSC/PM is charged with supporting construction, renovation and maintenance projects with appropriate safety measures and programs to permit the temporary disruption of egress, alarm, suppression and detection systems, while minimizing risks to life safety. The CSC may not direct a contractor or engineering employee to stop work or leave a jobsite unless extreme hazards to life safety are imminent. Any such stop-work order must be reported immediately to the PM or FES.

E. Implementation of this program is the responsibility of the Facilities Department. PMs/ESMs or their designees are directly accountable for compliance with this program. All portions of this program are applicable to construction projects performed by outside contractors. Only certain portions are applicable to maintenance activities. Those portions applicable to maintenance activities will contain specific references to Facilities Engineering Supervisor (FES). III. Policies A. All contractors and vendors are issued a temporary identification badge to enhance security. I D badges expire yearly on March 31. To obtain an I D badge the applicant must be trained in general Hospital procedures, safety and commissioning. At JHBMC the contactors and vendors must also undergo contractor orientation in accordance with the JHBMC Contractor Orientation Checklist. At JHH and JHBMC, a person trained by the CSC or EHS can, in turn, train other people only within their own company. The company must then provide to the CSC a statement on their company letterhead stating the name of the trainer and the names and last four digits of their social security number. B. All marked exits and exit routes must be maintained for access by building occupants and construction personnel throughout the construction/engineering project or repair effort. Any blockage of the exit route or re-routing must be coordinated through the CSC, PM or FES. Before a compromise can be affected at JHH or at JHBMC, written approvals must be obtained in accordance with the CLASP/Outage procedure for that campus. C. At JHH and JHBMC, outages to alarm, detection, suppression systems, or existing utility must be coordinated through the CSC or PM by the PM or FES. Before a compromise can be affected, written approvals must be obtained in accordance with the CLASP/Outage procedure. Lock Out/Tag-Out procedures will be incorporated with each occurrence. D. At JHH, system outages shall be scheduled for reactivation by the close of each shift. If the outage must be extended beyond the scheduled outage period, the contractor shall notify the PM/FES and the appropriate Engineering service before the system is to be reactivated. The contractor or FES is responsible to remain on site and provide surveillance until the system has been fully reactivated. Additional training and notification procedures may be put into place as recommended by the CSC or HSE or at JHBMC, the PM or ESH. E. System outages are subject to review and may require installation of temporary systems. F. The PM in the course of conducting periodic progress meetings shall include Safety, Infection Control and Outages as regular agenda items. Documentation of safety related issues shall be written in the minutes of all held progress meetings. G. Any contractor who proceeds with work that compromises existing fire safety systems, alarm, detection and suppression systems, egress routes, utilities or compartmentation without following the CLASP/Outage procedures, shall upon their first offense receive a written warning. Upon their second offense in one calendar year, they shall be suspended from bidding on future JHHS projects. Suspension from bidding shall be at the Hospitals

discretion. NOTE: This does not supersede any associated claims resulting from damages. H. Any contractor or employee who is found smoking in the hospital or the construction area shall be removed from the hospital lot permanently. Their identification badge will be turned in. Any contractor or subcontractor who has two or more employees suspended for smoking within a six month period, shall be suspended from bidding on future projects for six months at the discretion of JHHS. I. The Prime contractor is required to provide and maintain on site an accessible, fully charged, tested and certified 10 lb. ABC fire extinguisher for every 5,000 square feet of project area under construction. Under double surveillance, the area is reduced to 2500 square feet. Contractors must be OSHA trained and certified to use fire extinguishers.
J. The contractor is required to keep the jobsite free of debris and loose combustible materials. All debris is to be removed from the construction area periodically or as directed by the PM and/or project requirements. K. The storage of non-flammable materials in mechanical or electrical equipment rooms or shafts is expressly prohibited unless approved in accordance with the CLASP/Outage procedure. Any contractor who violates this procedure shall upon their first offense, receive a written warning, upon their second offense in one calendar year, they shall be suspended from bidding on future JHH projects for a period of six months. Suspension from bidding shall be at the JHHS option. L. The Prime Contractor is required to follow all state and federal regulations regarding work in Confined Spaces. All Confined Space activities shall require a permit and a review by the CSC and HSE at JHH or CSC and EHS at JHBMC prior to the start of the work. M. The Prime Contractor is responsible for the overall Occupational Safety and Health Program on the project. This responsibility cannot be delegated to subcontractors, suppliers, other persons or JHH. 1. Upon notification of the acceptance on the JHH bidders list, the contractor is required to submit a copy of the company's safety program to the CSC. 2. Each contractor shall immediately upon receipt, furnish copies of all citations from regulatory agencies to the CSC where these citations were issued as a result of working at JHH. 3. Prior to the start of work, each contractor is required to attend the Annual Safety and Commissioning Training. Documentation of that training must be received by the CSC before an approved JHH I.D. badge will be issued or renewed. 4. The Prime Contractor is required to post at each project site in a prominent location, an information board. The Project Information Board shall be used for posting: a. Outages b. Emergency telephone numbers c. Evacuation plan d. Infection Control checklist (JHH) or Infection Control Permit (JHBMC) e. Infection Control class f. Surveillance checklist g. Safety Fact Sheet
h. i.

5. At the preconstruction meeting, the Prime Contractor is required to make available to the PM, a chemical information list and all Material Safety Data Sheets of chemicals that will be used in the course of completing the project. The Prime Contractor is also required to maintain a repository, on the job site, for the Chemical Information Lists and Material Safety Data Sheets for all subcontractors . 6. At the preconstruction meeting, the Prime Contractor is required to present their plan to implement the infection control measures for approval by the PM and CSC. N. When a contractor has violated the CLASP policy, the PM shall immediately notify the contractor, in writing, and take action in accordance with the following: 1. 1st Time - Written notice 2. 2nd Time - Written notice and at the discretion of the Senior Director of Design and Construction, suspension from bidding on projects for the next 60 days. 3. 3rd Time - Written notice and at the discretion of the Senior Director of Design and Construction, suspension from bidding pending meeting with the President of company. The results of this meeting may consider permanent removal from the bidders list. 4. Subsequent to each PM notification of a violation, there must be immediate compliance to the CSC for approval. O. When Facilities determines that a building or area is adversely affected by fire safety deficiencies or any combination of fire safety deficiencies and active construction, that building shall be put into Interim Life Safety Status. Measures shall be instituted throughout each building or area in Interim Life Safety Status in accordance with the Joint Commissions Interim Life Safety Measures found later in this policy. IV. Procedures A. The CSC and/or PM shall conduct routine jobsite inspections and report all deficiencies, violations and non-conformance to the contractor, the PM/CSC and the Project Executive. B. The PM will review current or recent deficiencies with the contractor at each construction progress meeting. The contractor(s) shall report measures taken to correct deficiencies and to prevent a recurrence. These actions shall be documented in the progress meeting minutes. C. Any construction, renovation or maintenance work (temporary enclosures, deliveries, etc.) which compromises existing fire safety systems, which may include compartmentation, egress routes or the fire resistive integrity of egress route, or infection control, must be approved in accordance with the CLASP/Outage procedure. D. Outage requests submitted in a timeframe less than stated above must be treated as an emergency requiring approval of the Senior Director of Engineering Services at JHH or the Facilities Engineering Supervisors at JHBMC. The outage may be rejected on the merit of the timing or JHHs ability to support the request.
Safety and Commissioning Manual 2010 Facilities Department Johns Hopkins Health System

For the purposes of all notification requirements the workday is defined as Monday through Friday, except for Hospital holidays. The current day and the first day of the outage is not counted. E. The CSC notifies the Baltimore City Fire Department in advance on all fire suppression, smoke detector and other fire alarm impairments. The CSC shall not allow work to proceed that does not honor the advance notice requirements. The Electrical Supervisor at JHBMC will notify the Baltimore City Fire Department. F. When deemed necessary, the Prime Contractor will submit a work plan to the Project Manager/Engineering Service Manager for review through the outage system. This work plan may require attached documents, such as notices, floor plans, correspondence, etc. After the Project Manager/Facilities Engineering Supervisor, CSC, the Engineering Shops, Client and HSE will examine the work plan and recommend Interim Life Safety Measures for the Prime Contractor to apply. G. At JHH, the contractor doing the work, not an overseeing contractor, must sign-in each day of the outage prior to the beginning of the shift. The sign-in board is outside the lobby of Engineering Services at Billings B-120. The outage number must be filled in to be valid. If the contractor is late in signing in, the contractor must pursue the fire alarm mechanic by asking the Front Desk to radio the fire alarm mechanic. At JHBMC, the Project Manager arranges the outage confirmation. H. The PM/FES or CSC will routinely inspect the jobsite throughout the period of the outage for compliance. I. The PM/FES will coordinate necessary notification and training of construction personnel and affected occupants of adjacent areas of the outage. At the completion of the CLASP/Outage at JHH, the ICS shop , and at JHBMC Facilities, shall verify that all permanent life safety features of the fire alarm system have been restored. Notification of the occupants of adjacent areas, PM/FES, CSC and HSE will be done by ICS through the outage system.
J.
K. Any work that commences without following all the proper CLASP procedures will be stopped immediately. Said work will not be allowed to continue until all proper outage procedures have been followed. Additionally, all such outages shall be noted as such on the outage delinquency report. L. Engineering personnel shall conduct surveillance of construction areas designated by the CSC during off-hour shifts. This procedure shall be done in accordance with the CLASP Surveillance Procedure. M. Construction and renovation project areas shall be secured to prevent staff patients or visitors from entering. Each Prime Contractor will be issued keys for all their projects. The door must be locked when the site is unoccupied and signage identifying the area as unsafe with a contact number of the PM/FES for questions. N. Double surveillance is an ILSM that addresses higher fire risks, such as extending the impairment of the sprinkler system beyond one shift. Minimizing this risk in project
planning and timing is essential. The following are elements of double surveillance: 1. Decrease the area per fire extinguisher from 5000 to 2,500 sf. 2. Conduct a fire watch of one hour after cessation of any hot work. 3. Manage a fire watch at least once per shift when work is not being done. 4. Vigorous housekeeping involving eliminating accumulated combustibles and maintaining egress. 5. Consider using a temporary detection/fire suppression system. 6. Project Manager must submit updated ILSM to the CSC to evaluate building ILSM status. O. The storage of non-flammable materials in mechanical or electrical equipment rooms or shafts is expressly prohibited unless approved in accordance with the CLASP/Outage, which carries the following requirements: 1. Store only non-flammable items, not wood/ or cardboard. 2. Maintain egress. 3. Maintain access to valves, switches, panel boards, IDF cabinets, etc. 4. Post outage on the door. 5. Clean area after use. 6. Acceptance of this area is a line item of the project the final inspection.

Life Safety and Other Safety Compromises
The following explanation will aid Project Management and Engineering in determining when a situation is considered reportable under CLASP. A CLASP-related situation would be a construction, renovation or maintenance activity that the Life Safety System is impaired. A Life Safety System refers to any appliance, device, method, means, person and/or procedure which has been put into place and/or is depended upon to eliminate or minimize exposure to death or injury in case of a fire. Below are examples of Life Safety Compromises: 1. Egress Routes Corridor width reduction, exit elimination, fire lane obstruction, traffic detour, redirection of corridor traffic, egress to the corridor impaired 2. Detection Systems Activity setting off a smoke or heat detector 3. Flammable Materials Painting with flammable paints, storage of flammable materials outside of approved cabinet or room, storage or use of flammable compressed gas cylinders. 4. Fire Suppression Systems Sprinkler or Halon, permanent extinguisher removal or relocation. 5. Compartmentation Floor or wall demolition or penetration, fire door removal/relocation. 6. Alarm Systems Fire Department disconnection, device changes of the fire alarm system 7. Hot Work Welding, soldering, heat gun use, temporary heating arrangements A CLASP-related situation could also be cause by Other conditions. Below are examples of Other Safety Compromises: 1.

Interim Life Safety Measures (ILSM)

The Hospital implements the life safety management plan and performance improvement standards, including all features described in the Joint Commission Elements of Performance for LS.01.02.01. The Hospital also: I. Maintains current record drawings or documents addressing all structural features of fire protection.
II. Develops a policy for use of interim life safety measures (ILSM) that include written criteria to evaluate various Life Safety Compromises (LSC) deficiencies, the Life Safey Criteria Guide, and construction hazards for determining when and to what extent they are applicable. The ILSM consist of one or more of the following actions: 1. The hospital notifies the fire department and initiates a fire watch when a fire alarm or fire suppression system is out of service more than 4 hours in a 24-hour period in a occupied building. Notification and fire watch times are documented. 2. The hospital posts signage identifying the location of alternative exits to everyone affected. 3. The hospital has a written interim life safety measure (ILSM) policy that covers situations when the Life Safety Code deficiencies cannot be immediately corrected or during periods of construction. The policy includes criteria for evaluating when and to what extent the hospital follows special measures to compensate for increased life safety risk. 4. Inspect exits in affected areas on a daily basis. 5. Provide temporary but equivalent fire alarm and detection systems for use when a fire system is impaired. 6. Provide additional fire-fighting equipment. 7. Use temporary construction partitions that are smoke tight and make of noncombustible or limited-combustible material that will not comtribute to the development or spread of fire. 8. Increase surveillance of buildings, grounds, and equipment, giving special attention to construction areas and storage, excavation, and field offices. 9. Enforce storage, housekeeping and debris removal practices that reduce the buildings flammable and combustible fire load to the lowest feasible level. 10. Provide additional training to those who work in the hospital on the use of fire-fighting equipment.
Page 15
11. Conduct one additional fire drill per shift per quarter. 12. Inspect and test temporary systems monthly. 13. Conduct education to promote awareness of building deficiencies, construction hazards, and temporary measures implemented to maintain fire safety. 14. Train those who work in the hospital to compensate for impaired structural or compartmental fire safety features. III. Implement, document and enforce appropriate interim life safety measures (ILSM) as determined by the organization.

Hazard Communication
Also called OSHAs Employee Right-to Know law. States every employee has a right to know every hazard associated with each chemical they work with. This is communicated in two ways Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) and labels. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) - are documents that contain all pertinent information about a chemical. All MSDSs are kept in the EB Health, Safety and Environment Office at (410) 955-5918 or the JHBMC Security Office at (410) 550-0333. Labels - every container needs to have a label that is written correctly and clearly. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) MSDSs and labels explain which type of PPE should be worn when handling that particular chemical. Chemicals Spills should be cleaned up by the users according to the label/MSDS instructions. If the spill is of such a magnitude that the users are unable to contain it, at JHH, call the Centrex emergency number, (410) 955-4444, and at JHBMC, call (410) 550-0222.

Bloodborne Pathogens
Bloodborne pathogens are microorganisms such as viruses or bacteria that are carried in blood, internal body fluids and unfixed tissue that can cause disease in humans. Three Most Common Bloodborne Pathogens: 1. HIV Human Immunodeficiency Virus. Small but real hazard. Attacks the T4 cells which defend the body against infection. There is no cure or vaccine but an exposed person can be placed on Post Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) within one to two hours of exposure. 2. HBV Hepatitis B Virus. Attacks the liver. Currently 1.25 million people in the US are infected. There is a vaccine offered free of charge. 3. HCV Hepatitis C Virus. Attacks the liver. Currently 4 million people in the US are infected. There is no vaccine. Routes of Exposure 1. Parenteralthrough the skin via punctures and open wounds. 2. Mucous membranes-splash to the eyes, nose, and/or mouth. 3. Sexually 4. Prenatal 5. But not through casual contact!!! Prevention 1. Standard Precautions: consider all body fluids/blood to be infectious. 2. Dispose of all materials with blood/body fluids into red bags and sharps into sharps containers prior to disposal in red bags. 3. Wear Personal Protective Equipment!! Gloves and eye/face protection (safety glasses, goggles, face shields). 4. Receive the Hepatitis B vaccine 5. Hand washing is still the most effective means to prevent transmission. Steps to follow if you are exposed: 1. Wash the exposed site 2. JHH, call (410) 955-STIX (7849) 24 hour hotline. At JHBMC, call (410) 550-0477, M-F, 8 AM - 4:30 PM and page (410) 283-1545 after hours. 3. If recommended, initiate Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) within 1 - 2 hours after exposure for optimum efficacy. 4. Complete incident report

Infection Control
Training
Overview Dust and debris caused by construction work can harm hospital patients. The vast majority of the harm is caused by a genus of various fungi and common molds called Aspergillus By taking a few simple, practical measures, you can reduce or eliminate the problem. Aspergillus What is it? Aspergillus is a common fungus found in abundance in nature. Its spores are too small to be seen by the eye. Where is it found? Aspergillus is found outside, in dirt, in dust, in rotting leaves and in the dust that is in walls and ceilings. Aspergillus found inside is the threat to patients. It can cause disease in immune suppressed patients and patients with lung conditions. It causes a disease called apergillosis. It lodges in the lungs or sinuses of the patient. It is hard to treat and can be fatal. Patients can be protected by preventing the spread of Aspergillus spores outside of the construction site. Project Planning Conducting the risk assessment found in Specification 01110 key to a successful and safe project. All projects must consider: Temporary containments Negative air Access routes Walkoff mats Cleaning schedule HEPA Units Protecting the Worksite Temporary Containments Separates the clean from the dirty areas. Provides space that can be put under negative air. Containments can either be: existing walls and ceilings fire retardant plastic fire retardant plastic and/or drywall with metal studs Containment construction rules at patient care and fire egress areas: One shift - Use fire retardant 6 mil poly More than one shift Use drywall on metal studs. Replacing a fire rated partition Use drywall on metal studs Internal spaces not applying to anything above Use fire retardant 6 mil poly
Negative Air Pressure Insures dust in the air moves into the containment. Can be achieved by blowing air outside with fans and possibly using the building exhaust system. It must be maintained 24/7. Negative pressure indicators and alarms ensure maintenance of the negative pressure. Planned Access Routes Choose routes that least impact patient areas. Contain, cover and/or clean dusty materials and personnel. Mobile Containment Units Useful in small isolated locations and activities. Be careful of dust when entering and exiting the unit. It is best to use HEPA vacuums to remove dust from the unit and your body. Portable HEPA Filtration Units Units placed just inside and outside the site entrance filters the air effectively. They can also be used to create negative air as a fan would. HEPA Vacuums Take dust out of the air as it works. Use to clean entrance areas. Must use in a portable containment unit. Required use for every infection control project. Inspections All infection control measures must be inspected and approved: Prior to the start of construction When there is a change in the configuration of the containment or any other change in the practicing of infection control measures. When a request to reduce or increase the class of infection control rating. All class 3 and 4 projects will be inspected by Prime Contractor daily using the checklist inserted in this manual. The Owner will also inspect all class 3 and 4 projects daily. Request the removal of infection control measures by submitting an inspection through the Commissioning and Inspection procedures found later in this manual. The Hospital must be assured of the cleanliness of the site. Personal Health Workers cannot be on site if they have flu, tuberculosis, or any other infectious diseases. If you need help contact in this order: The Project Manager. At JHH, call (410) 955-5900. At JHBMC, call (410) 550-0286. CSC. At JHH, call (410) 955-5900. At JHBMC, call (410) 550-0228.

Infection Control Policy
Intent
The intent of this policy is to minimize nosocomial, hospital-acquired, infections in patients that may arise as a result of exposure to organisms released into the environment during construction activities. Controlling dispersal of air- and/or water-borne infectious agents is critical. These agents may be concealed within the building components or imported from the outside. Therefore, all construction activities shall be defined and managed in a way that the occupants exposure to dust, moisture and their accompanying hazards is minimized.
Procedures
1. 2. Adhere to the requirements in JHHS Standard the Infection Control Specification 01110. The PM must include infection control requirements in every project. The Prime Contractor will propose the means and methods to satisfy the infection control requirements for approval by the PM/CSC prior to the start of the project. The Prime Contractor will set up all the infection control measures prior to starting construction. A. The site must have the Hospitals checklist and class rating posted. B. The CSC may elect to have a baseline particle count taken. C. The Prime Contractor must request the inspection through the inspection system procedures in the Commissioning and Inspection section of this manual. D. The PM / CSC must approve the infection control measures. The Prime Contractor will request an inspection for intermediate changes to the infection control measures which must be approved by the PM / CSC. These changes may include changing the classification, modification of the physical area of the site or some other measure. The Prime Contractor will request an inspection for the removal of the infection control measures, which must be approved by the PM / CSC. The Prime Contractor will inspect his Class 3 and 4 sites daily and post his findings on the Hospital provided checklist. The PM/CSC will inspect all Class 3 and 4 sites daily. Findings will be communicated to the Prime Contractor, PM and project management staff. Deficiencies are to be corrected immediately and reported in the project progress meeting minutes.

Intended Audience
This documentation is intended for users of the Facilities Online Outage System. Users include not only The Johns Hopkins Hospital and Health System staff, but outside contractors and vendors.
Purpose
The Online Outage System is developed to better process outages that ensure the safety of patients, staff, visitors, and contractors. The Online Outage System will act as a central repository for all outage information past, present, and future. This web-based application will be accessible from anywhere, allowing participants to create, approve, and check the status from off-campus.

Online Outage System Workflow
Figure 1: Online Outage System Workflow

Using the Online Outage System

The Online Outage System is built within the Facilities Department Intranet. To access the Facilities Intranet, you may browse to the following address: http://facilities.jhmi.edu/FacilitiesV3/ The first page you will see will look like the following:
Figure 2: Facilities Intranet Homepage Next select the option for Design and Construction, which will take you to the Design and Construction applications. To access the Online Outage System, you will then choose the option for Outages.
Page 54
Outages Home
The first screen you will see when you enter the Online Outage System is a login screen:
Figure 3: Online Outage System Login Screen The Outage Administrators will be responsible for creating accounts and assigning the appropriate rights to that account. First you must register into the Online Outage System. Contact Outage Administrators. They will assign your user login and password. The Outage Administrators will provide you with any help you may need with the Online Outage System.
Page 55
After a successful login, you will be forwarded to the following screen, which will be referred to as the Outage Homepage:
Figure 4: Online Outage System Homepage The menu is broken down by the different types of personnel using that particular action on the Outage. Each group has different rights to the system. The All Users menu offers the following items that are of common use: View/Print Outages Status Report
Page 56
Moving the mouse over any group exposes a sub-menu of options. The following figure is an example of moving the mouse over the Contractors group.
Figure 5: Option Sub-menu In this example, the contractor has the ability to do the following: Request New Outage Modify Outage Request Outage Extension Add/View Attachments Print Hot Work Permit Cancel Outage Change Password Each Outage option will be discussed in further detail in the following sections.
Page 57
Request Outage
Contractors and Project Managers have the ability to create, or initiate an Outage. To do this, select the option Request New Outage. The request page looks like the following:
Figure 6: Request New Outage There is a large amount of information that is collected when creating an Outage. Besides pages being password protected, each account also has specific rights to which fields it may enter data; therefore, some fields may be present under one account, whereas it may not be under another. For example, an account for a contractor would not have the ability to select the different groups necessary to approve an outage, where an account with escalated privileges would. The system will assign an Outage Number to the new Outage. The Project Number field must be selected from either the Capital Projects drop-down list or from the Other Cost Centers drop-down list, which also includes University numbers. If the particular project or cost center is not in the drop-down, please contact an Outage Administrator.
Page 58
In the Contact Information section, you must select a Project Manager from the drop-down list. The PMs phone and email address will automatically be populated. Please fill in as much information as you can in regards the contractor, sub, and foreman when entering the Contact Information. The red asterisks (*) indicate required information to submit the outage. The next section involves the clients that only the project managers have. See the details later under Project Manager Approval. The next section is the Outage Date and Time Information. You may manually type in the beginning and end date of the Outage, or you may use the calendar feature to select a date. To use the calendar, click on the icon. This will bring up a pop-up window that looks like the following:
Figure 7: Calendar Pop-up Window In the calendar view, the current day will be highlighted with light grey and any weekend days will be in dark grey. If you wish to move to the previous or next month, you may use the month icon located at the top left and right. Clicking on any day will result in that day being entered as the date on the outage form. Please note that though the times default to 7:30 AM and 3:00 PM, they may be changed. However, you must enter the time in the format HH:MM AM/PM. The 24HR? checkbox can be used to default the start and end times to 12:00 AM and 11:59 PM respectively. Separate outages must be submitted if the outage is both on the weekend and weekday. Click the Weekend Outage checkbox for only the weekend outage. When selecting the Building(s) in the Work Area Information section, please note that it is possible to select more than one building by using the Control key on the keyboard. The same holds true for the Floor(s). The minus sign indicates floors below the 1st or ground floor. The Affected Area section differs from the Work Area section where an impairment on a building system may affect a much larger area than the work area. If the affected area is uncertain select the Required Shop Investigation for the staff to confirm.
Page 59
Include all clarifications and questions in the Contractor/Project Manager Comments box. This information is critical for others to understand the scope of the outage. After all fields have been entered, click the Submit Outage button at the bottom of the page. If the dates chosen have the potential to cause an emergency outage, a warning will be displayed as shown in the following figure:
Figure 8: Emergency Warning If Yes is chosen, the outage will continue to the project manager. If No is chosen, you are given the opportunity to change the dates. Then click the Submit Outage button again.
Page 60
Modify Outage
A Contractor can only submit a modification up to the time the Project Manager approves it. The Outage Modification screen is similar to that of the Request Outage screen. The first difference you will encounter is when you click on the option Modify Outage, rather then being taken directly to the entry from, you are taken to the following screen:
Figure 9: Outage Selection Criteria Since the Outage already exists, it is necessary to select Outage Modify. On this screen, noncancelled and incomplete Outages are loaded into the drop-down box that says Select an Outage. If the Outage Number is unknown, the filters may be used to reduce the number of Outages that are loaded into this drop-down box. The Select an Outage drop-down box will now only contain Outages that meet the criteria selected. It is possible to use one or all four filter criteria, which are a Building, Project Manager, Project Number, or Date.
Page 61
After an Outage is selected, a form that looks like the Request Outage form will be seen, but the fields will already be populated. An example can be seen here:
Figure 10: Outage Modification Form
Page 62
After all modifications have been made, click the link Click Here to the Outage Information Request page shown below.
Click here to print a hot work permit.
Figure 11: Link to Outage Information Request and Project Manager Approval Once on the Outage Information Request page, select the participants you want to receive this modification. By default, the From address will be the email address associated with the currently logged-on user. Each party associated with the Outage will be listed under the To field. For each person who is to receive the email, the checkbox must be clicked. If an email should be sent to everyone, the Select All button can be clicked. The Subject is defaulted to Information Request for Outage# and then the Outage number. The Body of the email will consists of all current PM/Contractor comments as well as all current Staff Comments. Additional comments can be entered in the corresponding textboxes. These comments will then be saved with the outage. Use the information request procedure to respond to an information request you have received. Click the Send Message button at the bottom of the page.
Page 63
Figure 12: Outage Information Request You will automatically return to the Outage Modification Form where you click on the Update Outage button at the bottom of the page. The Reset Form button located at the bottom of the page can be used to reset the form back to the state where it began, that is, before any modifications were made. Please note that this will reset the whole form, not just one field.
Page 64
Approve Outage
There are a few different levels of approval when dealing with Outages. The first is the Project Manager approval. This approval occurs after the Outage is created by the Contractor. Another type of approval is the Shop approval. Each shop assigned to an Outage is responsible for approving the Outage. Clients must also approve the Outage before it can begin. Lastly, there are approvals from Health, Safety, and Environment, as well as approval from the Construction Safety Coordinator. Approvers may find they do not have enough information to approve the Outage. Therefore they would use the information request page to gather that information. This topic is discussed around the Figures 11 and 12.
Project Manager Approval

After the Contractor submits the Outage, the Project Manager (PM) will be notified by email. It is then the responsibility of the PM to review the information entered by the Contractor and approve the Outage. The PM will choose the option Approve and Modify Outage located under the Project Manager heading on the Outage homepage. This is shown in Figure 11. The PM Approved By field will be automatically populated with the name of the user who is currently logged in. The date will also be automatically populated with todays date and time. To approve the Outage, select Yes and then click Update Outage button at the bottom of the page. If the selected dates will cause the outage to become and emergency, a warning is displayed at the bottom of the form as shown in Figure 8. If Yes is chosen, the emergency outage routine will be trigger, which begins with an email to the Director of Engineering to approve the Outage. Only after this explicit approval occurs, will the Outage approval process be able to continue. If No is chosen, you are given the opportunity to change the dates.
Client Approval
The Project Manager must fill out the Client portion, which is located in the Contact Information section of the Request New Outage or Modify Outage pages. First, select the Clients role in the right part of the section. If the Clients are to approve, be copied, click the Add/Modify Clients link on the left portion of the section. On this new page, click the Add New Client button. Press the Outage Clients drop-down list to select the clients. Now, click the Add button and the clients will appear in a list. Click the Delete button if you want to delete any of the selected Clients. If the Client doesnt appear in the drop-down list, then click the Close button and use the information request link and put the missing Clients name, phone, and email address in the Comment Box and select the Outage Administrators to receive, register, and add these clients to the Outage. Coinciding with the Shop Approval is the Client Approval. In order to approve the Outage as a client, click on the Approval Outage link found under the Clients heading on the homepage. After logging in, a list of available Outages for that particular client will be available in a drop down list.
Page 65
After selecting the appropriate Outage, the following screen will be seen:
Figure 13: Client Approval Screen To approve the Outage, simply click the checkbox and then press the Submit button.
Shop Approval
After the Project Manager approves the Outage, an Outage Administrator is responsible for assigning the different shops or groups to approve an Outage. Once this is done, each shop will be notified via email that they need to approve the Outage. To perform this action, click on Shop on the Outage homepage and click on Approve Outage. A screen to select the outage will be seen; however, there is a filter already applied that only allows the user to select an Outage for which his or her shop must approve. Using the process described earlier, select the Outage that needs to be approved.
Page 66
The next screen will display in a read-only format the information that has been entered about the Outage. The user will, however, have the ability to modify a few fields such as Affected Areas, Interim Life Safety Measures, and Staff Comments. The actual approval of the Outage occurs at the bottom of this screen. The name of the currently logged-on user will automatically populate the Approved By field. Also, the date will also automatically be populated. It is the responsibility of the user to check either Yes or ask for information in the staff comments box. Choosing Yes will approve this particular shops portion of the Outage. A screenshot of the approval can be seen below.
Figure 14: Shop Approval Screen Construction Safety Coordinator and Health, Safety and Environment Approval Once all the clients and shops have approved the Outage, it is ready to receive final approval. Both the Construction Safety Coordinator (CSC) and Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) approve the Outage. To approve the Outage, select either the Outage Administrator or Health, Safety and Environment tab on the page and click on the option Modify Outage and choose Yes , and then click Submit at the bottom of the page. The By and Date fields will automatically be populated with the appropriate data.
System Restoration If the Outage impairs a Fire Suppression System or Fire Alarm System, then these systems must be restored after the Outage is completed. This happens through the Restoration option, which can be found under the Shops heading on the Outage homepage. As with most options, clicking on this option will display the Outage Selection Criteria screen. Once the user selects an Outage, information for that Outage will be displayed. At the bottom of the screen, there is a location where the user can choose if all systems have been restored. This can be seen below.
Figure 15: System Restoration Routine To show that all systems have been restored, select Yes, and then click Submit.

Request Outage Extension

It is sometimes necessary to request an extension for an Outage if it is running behind, or if unforeseen problems arise, also to start an Outage earlier than originally approved. Only Outages that are 24 hours or more away from expiring may be extended through this process. The 24 hour period is counted from the start time of the last day. If the Outage is within 24 hours or less away from expiring, then a new Outage must be submitted through the regular process. For those Outages that are eligible to be extended, click the Request Outage Extension link on the Outage homepage. This will pull up a screen similar to the modify Outage screen. Fields will be pre-filled with the information from the original Outage. The difference with this option is when the extension is submitted, a new Outage number is assigned and the Outage is put into the Workflow to be approved.
Figure 16: Outage Extensions The important part to notice on an extension is that the original start and end dates are shown in read-only format. The new start date must be greater than or less than the original date in order for the outage to be accepted.
Page 69
Cancel Outage
If an Outage has been entered in error, or if there is no longer a need for an entered Outage, then it can be canceled. To perform this action, select the option Cancel Outage from the Outage homepage. After selecting an Outage from the Outage Selection Criteria screen, the user will see the following:

Reporting
There are a couple reports built into the Online Outage System: Status Report and Delinquencies Report. Status Report The Status Report is discussed earlier in the Outage Modification section. Delinquency Report The purpose of the Delinquencies Report is to show which Project Managers and Contractors have submitted their Outages with enough lead time. A sample of the Delinquencies Report can be seen in the next figure. The Delinquencies Report is only available to Outage Administrators and is, therefore, password protected. Note for this example the numbers in the Proceeded Without Approval column is not accurate.

Commissioning and Inspection Procedure

All construction, renovation and major maintenance work performed on the Hospital Lot and at all other locations, including utility distribution systems, that are the responsibility of Johns Hopkins Health System Facilities Department, shall be commissioned and inspected by technical staff to ensure design, code and system performance compliance of the work being performed. This requirement shall be included in all contracts for such work regardless of which institutional entity is issuing the agreement. The Johns Hopkins Health System Standard Specification, July 1, 2003, includes the following provision concerning commissioning and inspection: OWNERS COMMISSIONING Any test, inspection or similar service to be performed as provided in the Contract Documents, may be, at the Owners option, performed by the Owners operations and commissioning personnel in addition to any required third party or jurisdictional participation. Cooperate with the Owners operations and commissioning personnel in the performance of these inspections, tests, and similar services. Provide reasonable auxiliary services as requested, including but not limited to access to the Work, and incidental labor and facilities necessary to facilitate inspections and tests. The Contractor shall adhere to the Owners published Commissioning and Inspection Procedures that are current at the time of bids for the Project. If specific elements of the Work have failed their initial and one remedial inspection or test, then the Contractor shall be responsible for the Owners costs for further inspections or tests and will be deducted from payments owed the Contractor.
All contractors shall follow the process provided below and as modified for specific projects: 1) Prime Contractor will be responsible for the management and scheduling of required commissioning and inspections. Requests to the JHH Facilities Department for commissioning and inspection services will only be honored when received from the Prime Contractor. Each trade contractor (including the Prime Contractor when self-performing work) shall be present for their respective inspection. Though not required, it is in the Prime Contractors own interest to be present for all inspections. Owner inspections will be conducted between the hours of 8:30 AM and 2:30 PM, Monday through Friday, and will require a forty-eight (48) hour notice period excluding the period between 3:30 PM Friday through 7:30 AM Monday and Hospital holidays. Inspections that must be performed off hours, on weekends or holidays will require a two (2) week notice period. The notice period for inspections that require an outage or that is associated with an outage, will be the same period as required for the outage as provided in the owners CLASP/Outage Program. 4) If the owner does not provide the inspection service within the time frames stated in these procedures, provided that the prime contractor is in compliance with these procedures, the work

Page 83
requested for inspection can proceed as if the inspection service had been performed, and the prime contractor shall immediately notify the owners Project Manager of actions taken. At the Owners sole discretion, he may elect to inspect such un-inspected work although the procedural time frames have expired. The Owner shall exercise this election no more than fortyeight (48) actual hours (without limitation) after the expiration of the time frame for the original inspection request. The prime contractor shall provide assistance to the owner necessary to perform such inspections including any demolition and restoration. Upon such inspection, should the work be found in compliance, the Owner shall compensate the prime contractor, in accordance with the terms of the contract between the parties, for documented additional costs and time extension incurred by the prime contractor directly resulting from the delayed inspection. In contrast, should the work be found out of compliance, the Prime Contractor shall bear all costs and there will be no time extension and the process for re-inspection shall be followed. 5) The Prime Contractor shall apply for inspections in any of the following ways: JHH Email the attached form to the Front Desk at:: Front_desk@jhmi.edu FAX the Front Desk at: (410) 502-6924
JHBMC Email the attached form to the Call Center at: BayviewFacilitiesserviceCenter@exchange.edu FAX the Call Center at: (410) 550-1096
There is an electronic form for the email and fax submissions. They may be obtained through the Project Manager. A copy is inserted in this manual. On this form the Prime Contractor will need to provide the following information:

Hospital Project Manager Project title Hospital Project number Prime Contractor on-site contact, phone and/or pager number Desired date and time for the inspection Location of inspection within project site or other if multiple sites Type of inspection and/or test (see item 8) Type(s) of commissioners required:

Architectural Firestopping Plumbing Medical Gases
Fire alarm/Sprinkler HVAC Electrical Other (provide description)
After applying for the inspection request, at JHH, the Front Desk and at JHBMC, the Call Center, will provide the Prime Contractor with a control number (aka: Work Order Number); all effort will be made by the Owner to have this control number available immediately, but if not, instructions will be provided to the Prime Contractor on how to retrieve the control number within four hours. Hard copies of all inspection requests will be maintained at JHH, at Billings Building, Room B-120 and at JHBMC, at Call Center, 5550 Warehouse until the time of the
Page 84
inspection. The applicable owner commissioning staff, owner project manager and contractor of the inspection request will then be notified. 6) Inspections and tests will be conducted and the results will be given directly to the contractor representative within 4 hours, with a copy forwarded to the owners project manager. Copies of acceptable test results shall be included with applicable operation and maintenance manuals to be provided in accordance with the contract between Owner and Prime Contractor. When an inspection or test fails, corrections shall be made and re-inspected. This will require a new request for inspection. The scope of re-inspection or retesting shall apply only to those types that failed. When an inspection or test is determined by the Owners commissioning staff to be unacceptable and the prime contractor objects, citing that it is not within his contractual obligations, prior to commencing corrections, the Prime Contractor shall notify the Owners Project Manager of this objection in accordance with provisions provided in the contract documents. Resolution and direction will be provided under the terms of the contract between the parties. Otherwise, the findings of the Owners commissioning staff are final and the Prime Contractor will make timely corrections. The following are various tests and inspections that must be performed on every project. This list does not preclude any inspections or tests being performed that are required by the contract between Owner and Prime Contractor. Similarly, this does not preclude any inspection or test required by statute. Conversely, requirements of a contract or statute do not preclude this list of inspections and tests from being performed.

8)
DECOMMISSIONING INSPECTIONS. Prior to the start of salvaging and demolition there will be an inspection to select salvaged items, locate termination of services and deem all other items ready for salvage and demolition and identify items to be removed by the vacating tenant. INFECTION CONTROL INSPECTIONS. Prior to the start and any new phase of construction, the Commissioning Staff must verify that all infection control measures are in place. An inspection is also required at the completion of the project to confirm the cleanliness of the site. Refer to the Infection Control Policy in this manual for details. POST DEMOLITION INSPECTIONS. This is initiated when the Prime Contractor has uncovered all concealed areas and completed removal of all utilities. Commissioners, Project Managers and Designers are invited to address hidden conditions, allow the Owners engineering forces to repair landlord conditions outside the scope of the project and verify the completion of the demolition. The Commissioning staff will include items outside the scope of the Prime Contractors scope of work. The Owners Project Manager will identify out of scope items and transmit the inspection report to the Prime Contractor, the Engineering Senior Director and the Commissioning Administrator. The Owners Project Manager must specify the time period available for the Owners forces to correct deficiencies. CLOSE-IN INSPECTIONS. Prior to the concealment of any element of construction, a close-in inspection will be required. The Prime Contractor must identify all trades affected by the proposed concealment. Any testing or any element requiring an outage that needs to be performed prior to a Close-in Inspection shall have been successfully tested and/or inspected prior to making a request for Close-in Inspection. The Commissioners must be satisfied with the condition of the work before permission to close-in can occur. A designated Commissioner will give the final approval for all Commissioners.
Page 85 Facilities Department Johns Hopkins Health System
SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION INSPECTIONS. Prior to any occupancy or any use of any element of the work, the Prime Contractor shall request a SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION INSPECTION citing all commissioning trades that have, or should have, participated during the performance of the work. This is the punch list and inspection provisions that may be required in the contract between the parties. FINAL INSPECTIONS. When the Prime Contractor has fully completed all contractual obligations, he will schedule a FINAL INSPECTION to release him from further obligation. The SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION punch list must be fully completed at this time. SPECIFIC INSPECTIONS AND TESTS. In addition to the foregoing, the following lists the minimum inspections and tests required for all construction, renovation and major maintenance work MECHANICAL SYSTEMS Post demolition/pre-installation Cleaning and flushing of piped systems Cleaning ductwork Sterilization of domestic water piping Pressure testing of: Domestic water Sanitary Storm Sprinkler Natural gas Steam Chilled water Condensate Condenser water Refrigeration Medical and laboratory gases Ductwork Sprinkler operation: Alarm systems Drainage facilities Inspector test Medical gas certification Insulation material and workmanship HVAC operation: Automatic temperature control Smoke dampers M.O.D. dampers Pumps Chillers Cooling Towers Boilers Air handling equipment Training and education
