Summary

The facility failed to ensure the security of portable gas cylinders, specifically a propane tank, which was found unsecured in the basement at the outdoor dock area. This propane tank was stored in front of the main electrical high voltage switch gear, posing a potential safety hazard. The observation was made on March 12, 2025, at 12:35 p.m. During the exit interview conducted on the same day at 3:15 p.m., the Administrator, Director of Maintenance, and Assistant confirmed that the portable tank was not adequately protected. This deficiency affected one of the two levels within the facility, indicating a lapse in the facility's adherence to the NFPA 101 standards for gas equipment storage and security.

Plan Of Correction

Propane tank removed from being stored in front of main electrical panel. 4/28/25 Staff educated on not storing propane tanks in front of electrical panels. The director of maintenance will conduct random facility audits.
