Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.159(c)(10): Sprinklers were not spaced to provide a maximum protection area per sprinkler, a minimum of interference to the discharge pattern by building or structural members or building contents. Second floor conference room and hallway, 164 Fredette Street, Gardner, Massachusetts; Sprinkler heads for the automatic fire suppression system in the second floor conference room and hallway are blocked by ceiling tiles. The ceiling tiles prevent the flow of water from the sprinkler heads over the designed area, exposing employees to burns and other hazards from fires.
