Failure to Label Generator Fuel Tank with Required NFPA 704 Placard
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to comply with requirements for labeling the generator's above ground diesel fuel tank with an NFPA 704 placard. During an observation on April 23, 2025, it was noted that the fuel tank was not marked with the required placard in a location visible upon approach, as mandated by NFPA 30, 21.7.2.1. This deficiency was identified during a survey and confirmed by the Acting Maintenance Director at the time of discovery. The report specifies that this failure to label the fuel tank properly is not in accordance with NFPA 110, NFPA 99, NFPA 111, and NFPA 70 standards. The deficiency could potentially affect all occupants in the event of a fire, as the lack of proper labeling may hinder emergency response or safety procedures. No specific residents or patient conditions are mentioned in the report.
