| 6400.68(b) | On 11-27-12, the temperature of the hot water in the first floor bathroom shower was 132 degrees F. Fully implemented - cs - 3/5/13. | (b) Hot water temperatures in bathtubs and showers may not exceed 120°F.
| The water temperature was adjusted immediately and was below 120 degrees before program participants were home to use hot water. Since a program participant was adjusting the temperature of the hot water tanks on his own, thinking he was being funny, a cage was built aroung both tanks to discourage tampering. All staff are to follow the agency policy on Water Temperature Monitoring which requires weekly testing and a three day procedure for monitoring temperatures of 120 degrees or more in order to keep the temperature below the limit. Program Supervisor Emily Keeler checks the Water Temperature Chart weekly and makes recommendations to staff if adjustments need to be made to maintain proper temperature. The supervisor also had a discussion with the program participant about water temperature safety and understanding when a joke or prank can be a safety hazard. Documentation of the correction (photo) and water temperature weekly measurement chart for the home submitted. |
