Non-compliance with Electrical Receptacle Safety Standards
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain electrical receptacles in compliance with safety standards, as evidenced by an observation on February 10, 2025. During the inspection, it was found that an electrical outlet located within six feet of a sink in the A Wing Pantry was not protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). This deficiency was confirmed through an interview with the Facility Administrator and Maintenance Director on the same day.
Plan Of Correction
1. The electrical receptacle in question will be replaced with a GFCI receptacle. 2. The maintenance staff will be in-serviced on Electrical System receptacles. 3. The Maintenance staff/designee will audit for any receptacles within 6 feet of sink that are not GFCI protected and report any concerns to the Quality Assurance Performance improvement committee. 4. The Safety Committee will review the repair to ensure all corrections are made.
