Summary
Surveyors observed that the facility failed to ensure the door to the trash room on the third floor was self-closing and positively latching, as required for hazardous area enclosures. During the inspection, it was noted that the rated door did not close automatically or latch securely when tested. This deficiency was confirmed during an exit interview with the Maintenance Supervisor and the Director of Safety/Security, who acknowledged that the door did not function as required.
Plan Of Correction
Door has been fixed and is latching appropriately. Doors will be monitored during environmental rounds by maintenance staff.
