1. Grand View Surgery center completed the required five-year sprinkler pipe and valve internal inspection on August 9, 2023. This documentation was not immediately available at the time of the survey. The report has been placed in the Life Safety binder.
2. The concealed sprinkler head that was found dislodged from the ceiling tile in the mechanical room was repaired the same day as the inspection.
Moving forward, the Grand View facility director has implemented a documentation system to ensure all sprinkler system inspection documentation are immediately accessible. St. Luke's Grand View facility engineering will also perform routine rounding of the sprinkler heads during environmental rounds to ensure continued compliance. This information will be reviewed at the quarterly Safety Committee meeting.
