Summary

The facility was found to be non-compliant with NFPA 101 standards regarding the storage of soiled linen and trash containers. During an observation on April 15, 2025, at 1:35 PM, it was noted that three 96-gallon shredder containers were stored in the ground floor lobby. This area did not have a 1-hour fire-rated protection, which is required for storing containers exceeding 32 gallons when not attended. The Director of Maintenance confirmed that the containers were not stored in a rated assembly, leading to the deficiency.

Plan Of Correction

Maintenance staff was educated a 1-hour protected rating space is required for storage of soiled-linen and trash containers exceeding 32 gallons.

Audit results will be reported at QAPI.
