EASTERN STATE HOSPITAL
Exit Signage
Tag No.: K0293
Based upon documentation review, observations and staff interviews on November 27, 2023 between approximately 1430 and 1515 hours the facility has failed to maintain proper exit signage. This could potentially misdirect patients, staff, and/or visitors during an emergency.
Findings include:
The gates for emergency egress out of the FSU south fire stairwell were not clearly identifiable as exits.
The above was discussed and acknowledged by the facility staff who immediately installed exit signage.
