Penalty
Summary
During an observation on May 19, 2025, it was found that door 8, which leads to the exterior of the building in the 700 wing, was not properly posted as an exit. The door could be mistaken for an exit, but lacked the required signage in accordance with section 7.10.8.3, which mandates a sign stating 'NO EXIT' for doors that are not exits. This deficiency was confirmed by the Maintenance Director at the time of discovery. The report notes that exit and directional signs were not displayed as required, nor were they continuously illuminated and served by the emergency lighting system, as specified by 19.2.10.1.
