Summary

The facility failed to ensure that the emergency lighting in the basement generator room was tested and maintained as required. Specifically, the annual 90-minute run test for the battery-operated emergency light was not completed in 2023 and 2024, and the monthly 30-second run tests were not documented from an unspecified month in 2023 to an unspecified month in 2024. During an observation, it was noted that the basement generator room contained a battery-operated emergency light. The Maintenance Director confirmed in an interview that the required tests had not been conducted and stated they were unaware of the testing requirements for the emergency light.
