53 GUAM MEMORIAL HOSPITAL AUTHORITY 655000 499 NORTH SABANA DRIVE BARRIGADA GU 96913 2014-09-19 465 B 0 1 OCYD11 Based on observation and interview, the facility did not provide a safe and functional environment for its staff. Finding includes: During the food storage observation on 9/17/14, a puddle of water was observed inside the walk-in refrigerator's sheet-metal flooring in an area adjacent to the door leading into the walk-in freezer compartment. The puddle which covered an area about a foot-and-a-half from the wall separating the freezer and refrigerator was slippery and could potentially cause anyone to slide and fall, especially in the dim lighting inside the refrigerator that rendered the puddle difficult to notice. There were no warning cones or anti-slip devices noted. During an interview on 7/17/14, a dietary staff member stated that the puddle was from melted ice inside the freezer that had flowed into the refrigerator compartment. The staff who thereafter secured warning cones added that maintenance personnel had recently been inside the freezer to break-up the ice build-up inside the freezer. 2019-04-01
