Summary

The facility failed to comply with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards for electrical wiring, specifically NFPA 70, the National Electric Code. During an observation, it was found that there was exposed electrical wiring within an electrical junction box that lacked a cover plate. This issue was located above the suspended ceiling near the cross corridor double doors to Component 01. The observation was confirmed through an interview with the Facilities Director, who acknowledged the presence of the exposed wiring.

Plan Of Correction

1. The Maintenance Director installed a cover plate for the electrical junction box to ensure the wiring is properly protected and secure. 2. The Maintenance Director and relevant staff members will receive training on NFPA 70, National Electric Code, with a focus on proper installation and maintenance of electrical wiring and equipment. 3. The Maintenance Director/designee will conduct a thorough inspection of electrical junction boxes and wiring throughout the facility to verify compliance with NFPA 70 standards. Any additional areas of concern will be addressed immediately. Monthly audits of electrical junction boxes and wiring will be conducted by the Maintenance Director/designee to ensure continued compliance with NFPA 70. Findings will be documented and reported for further action, if necessary. 4. Findings will be reviewed at the Quality Assurance Performance Improvement meeting.
