Summary

The facility failed to properly install and maintain equipment protected by the kitchen hood extinguishing system, affecting one of nine smoke compartments. During an observation, a gas-fired oven on wheels in the main kitchen was found not to have an approved method to ensure it returned to an approved design location after being moved for maintenance and cleaning. This was required by section 12.1.2.3 and 12.1.2.3.1 of NFPA 96, Standard for Ventilation Control and Fire Protection of Commercial Cooking Operations. An interview with the Facility Administrator and Maintenance Director confirmed that the gas-fired cooking appliance was not tethered to prevent it from being moved from the ventilation hood and gas connection.

Plan Of Correction

1. Facility maintenance director 12/9/2024 properly tethered cooking appliance so it could not be moved and educated dietary staff after cleaning to properly tether cooking appliance. 2. Audit will be completed by maintenance director /designee daily x 4 weeks, then weekly x 2 months.
