o
Will existing plumbing be demolished? Asbestos containing building materials may be affected by such
operations. Contact Safety and Health for an evaluation.
o
Will existing floor coverings be
removed?

o
Will the contractor be using machinery
that requires periodic refueling.
The contractor must furnish Safety and Health with a Spill Prevention
and Spill Response Plan.
o
Will existing structural steel be stripped,
altered, cut, welded, or removed?
Existing steel may be coated with lead-based coatings that may create
a lead-inhalation hazard if torch-cut, ground, or welded to. Steel may
be covered with asbestos-containing spray-on fireproofing. Contact
Safety and Health for an evaluation.
o
Does the renovation require the
removal of fume hoods or related air
ducts?
Contact Safety and Health for evaluation of asbestos or chemical
hazards.
o
Are there any chemicals in the space to
be renovated?
Contact Safety and Health for disposal options.
o
Will the work being performed cause
impairment to the fire detection and/or
the fire suppression systems?
Risk Management must be notified in advance of the impairment of any
device (smoke detectors, heat detectors, pull stations, or alarm panels).
Long term impairment may require instituting a fire watch.
o
Will there be any hot work such as
welding, brazing, torch cutting, metabo
cutting or grinding?
The contractor must have a written hot work program for fire prevention
and fire watch if necessary. No hot work is permitted within one hour of

action if the answer to the question is "No". Some questions may not be applicable to your project.
SECTION 1
Dust is capable of activating smoke detectors. If smoke detectors are
covered during construction to avoid this, the covers must be removed
at the end of each work day. Covering these devices qualifies as an
impairment to the system. Campus Police for Interim Life Safety
