Summary

The facility failed to maintain proper gas equipment storage requirements in one of its two storage areas. During an observation on February 6, 2025, at 11:49 a.m., it was noted that the oxygen storage room located in the skilled hall corridor contained oxygen cylinders that were not separated or labeled as full or empty. This lack of organization and labeling is a direct violation of the storage requirements for gas equipment. An interview with the maintenance supervisor at the same time confirmed the deficiencies related to the oxygen cylinder storage. The supervisor acknowledged the issues with the storage of the oxygen cylinders, which were not in compliance with the necessary safety standards. This deficiency highlights a failure in maintaining the required safety protocols for gas equipment storage within the facility.

Plan Of Correction

The maintenance director provided education to staff immediately regarding proper storage of the oxygen tanks. Additional signage was posted in the oxygen storage room designating the proper storage of the full and empty oxygen tanks. Red tape was also put on the floor to provide a visual line/designation for full and empty oxygen tanks. The maintenance director or designee will complete weekly audits for 3 months to ensure compliance and proper storage.
