LAWRENCE COUNTY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL
No Description Available
Tag No.: K0045
Based on direct observations and interview, the facility failed to provide illumination of exit discharges that would not be affected by the failure of a single bulb. This deficient practice could affect patients, staff and visitors, if the failure of one light bulb left a portion of a means of egress with less than the required illumination during an evacuation.
Finding includes:
On 8/23/14 At 1:15PM an observation determined that the egress discharge illumination of at least one foot candle light through out the newly constructed exit discharge sidewalk east of the building was not provided. This does not comply with NFPA 101, Sections 19.2.8 and 7.8.
