Based on observation and interview, the facility failed to provide and ensure compliant means of egress systems due to locking mechanisms, none uniform door hardware, and none fire rated gasket materials. This deficient practice could affect 10 of 80 smoke compartments of the facility.
FINDINGS INCLUDE:
1. On 8/06/2012 at 3:05 pm surveyor observed that the 3rd level patient and staff level egress doors were operated by lever handle door devices, yet the exit stair doors were operated by outdated knob devices. Exit stair doors 61/3 and 63/3 were operated by knob latch operating devices which is inconsistent to the main floor were all treatment, support, and auxiliary spaces had been upgraded to lever handle door latch operating devices. These knob devices reduced the ease with which staff and operate and release the latch from the egress side during an emergency. This observed situation was not compliant with NFPA 101 sections 8.2.3.2.1, 7.2.1.5.1. The condition was confirmed at the time of discovery by a concurrent observation and interview with staff M1 (Director of Facilities) and staff M8 (Plant Mechanic).
2. On 8/06/2012 at 11:15 am surveyor observed that the 6rd level heliport access doors were operated by lever handle door devices, yet a required exit stair door was operated by an outdated knob device. Exit stair door 31/6 was operated by a knob latch operating device which is inconsistent to the main service level were all spaces have been upgraded to lever handle door latch operating devices. This knob device reduces the ease with which staff can operate and release the latch from the egress side during an emergency. This observed situation was not compliant with NFPA 101 sections 8.2.3.2.1 and 7.2.1.5.1. The condition was confirmed at the time of discovery by a concurrent observation and interview with staff M1 (Director of Facilities) and staff M8 (Plant Mechanic).
3. On 8/06/2012 at 11:50 am surveyor observed that the exit stair doors contained locking devices that when activated eliminated re-entry onto the patient floors. Exit stairs 101, 102 and 31 had cylinder locksets that prohibited re-entry onto the patient floors. Facility staff stated the locksets were not used, nor necessary for their current operations. Facility staff were asked to test the locks for the capability to be locked, and the keys used by staff readily locked the door(s) in the inoperable mode. Existing life safety features obvious to the public, if not required, shall be either maintained or removed. This observed situation was not compliant with NFPA 101 section 4.6.12.2. The condition was confirmed at the time of discovery by a concurrent observation and interview with staff M1 (Director of Facilities) and staff M8 (Plant Mechanic).
4. On 8/08/2012 at 8:45 am surveyor observed the meeting edge of a pair of 90 minute fire rated exit passage doors were covered with a plastic gasket. Doors 1101, 1102, 1108, 1109 and 11014 were using this gasket material attempting to seal door meetings edges that exceeded 1/8 " in width. These gaskets provide draft control to listings UL10C and UL10B per the facility obtained product document from National Guard Products (NGP) dated 5/2011. These gaskets provide draft control yet do not provide the fire rated hardware requirements as an " astragal " under NFPA 80. The plastic gaskets are not tested as an "astragal" by Underwriters Laboratory (UL) and will not maintain the 90 minute fire rating of the exit passage doors and hence these gaskets will prematurely fail due to their low melting point. This observed situation was not compliant with NFPA 101 (2000 edition), 19.2.1 and 7.2.6. The condition was confirmed at the time of discovery by a concurrent observation and interview with staff M1 (Director of Facilities).
