Plan of Correction
The Director of Business Development is in charge of the physical plant and grounds of the facility. Clients are not permitted on the upper deck where the blocked exit was unless there is an emergency where they have to get out of the building quickly. As there are not people on the upper deck every day, the Director of Business Development will be responsible for checking the grounds of the facility daily to ensure that no fire exits are blocked. The Director of Business Development implemented the inspection of the grounds and fire exits on December 20, 2018 and it was gone over by the Project Director in staff meeting on January 3, 2019. |
