MCLAREN GREATER LANSING
No Description Available
Tag No.: K0012
Based on observation it was determined that the facility failed to provide complete sprinkler coverage and does not meet the construction type in accordance with the LSC, sections 19.1.6.2, 19.1.6.3, 19.1.6.4, 19.3.5.1, 4.6.6, 4.6.7, 4.6.9, 4.6.10. This deficient practice could potentially affect all occupants of the facility by allowing fire to spread more quickly and decreasing the time available for evacuation.
Findings include:
1. On 8/11/10 at approximately 11:00 AM it was observed that the facilities 2 north wing was Type II (000) construction. The 2 north wing is actually three stories above the lowest fire department access. Type II (000) construction is not permitted for a partially sprinkled three story building. The wing currently not being used for a patient care area, but has not been renovated for other uses. This observation was verified by the facilities Maintenance Supervisor.
9/23/10 The facility has made substantial progress in correcting K012. The second floor has been sprinkled and structural steel has had fire proofing applied. The first floor is partially complete, and will continue as asbestos removal is completed. The facility is still on target to complete the correction on or before the December 1, 2010 POC date.
