| 2019-06-04 10:28:35 | ADDED COMMENTS EMAILED 6/4/2019 TO AUSTIN DUFFY OF PA |
| | TWIN MANAGEMENT |
| | REGARDING THE BIRTHING CENTER AT 2717 POINSIATTIA AVE; |
| | PERMIT #19010578 |
| | PLEASE NOTE THAT I PERFORMED A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF |
| | THE PLUMBING ON 5/30/2019. AFTER ADDITIONAL |
| | CONSIDERATION I WANT TO BRING SOME ADDITIONAL POTENTIAL |
| | ISSUES TO LIGHT THAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED BY THE |
| | DESIGNERS OF RECORD. PLEASE FORWARD TO THOSE DESIGN |
| | PROFESSIONALS FOR THEIR CONSIDERATION IN PREPARING THE |
| | NEXT SUBMITTAL. |
| | ITEM 1: PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING SECTIONS OF THE |
| | FLORIDA BUILDING CODE. |
| | ? 452.1SCOPE. |
| | ALL BIRTHING CENTERS SHALL COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING |
| | DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS AS DESCRIBED HEREIN. |
| | NOTE: OTHER ADMINISTRATIVE AND PROGRAMMATIC PROVISIONS |
| | MAY APPLY. SEE AGENCY OF HEALTH CARE ADMINISTRATION |
| | [AHCA] RULE 59A-11, FLORIDA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE AND |
| | CHAPTER 383, FLORIDA STATUTES. |
| | |
| | ? FBC 452.2.2.3 |
| | A SEPARATE SPACE FOR A CLEAN AREA AND A CONTAMINATED |
| | AREA; IF IT IS NOT FEASIBLE TO PROVIDE SUCH SEPARATE |
| | AREAS, SPECIAL PROCEDURES SHALL BE ESTABLISHED FOR THE |
| | DISPOSAL OF INFECTIOUS WASTE. SANITARY WASTE |
| | CONTAINERS, SOILED LINEN CONTAINERS, STORAGE CABINETS |
| | AND AN AUTOCLAVE, PRESSURE COOKER OR OTHER EFFECTIVE |
| | STERILIZATION EQUIPMENT SHALL BE AVAILABLE. |
| | ? 452.2.11LAUNDRY. |
| | 452.2.11.1 |
| | WHERE LAUNDRY FACILITIES ARE PROVIDED, LAUNDRY |
| | FACILITIES SHALL BE OF SOUND CONSTRUCTION AND SHALL BE |
| | IN GOOD REPAIR AND CLEAN. ADEQUATE SPACE SHALL BE |
| | PROVIDED AND AREAS SHALL BE DESIGNATED FOR THE |
| | SEPARATION OF CLEAN AND SOILED CLOTHING, LINEN AND |
| | TOWELS. |
| | |
| | PLEASE REVIEW THE PLANS TO INSURE COMPLIANCE WITH THESE |
| | SECTIONS. IF SPECIAL PROCEDURES FOR DISPOSAL OF |
| | INFECTIOUS WASTE ARE TO BE EMPLOYED, THEN PLEASE STATE |
| | THE SAME ON THE PLANS TO SHOW COMPLIANCE. |
| | DISCHARGES FROM AUTOCLAVES AND OTHER STERILIZERS TO THE |
| | SANITARY SYSTEM SHALL COMPLY WITH FBC PL CHAPTER 8 AND |
| | SECTION 713. |
| | |
| | ITEM 2: BIRTHING TUB DRAINAGE |
| | ? 452.2.3.4 |
| | ALL FLOOR SURFACES, WALL SURFACES, WATER CLOSETS, |
| | LAVATORIES, TUBS, SHOWERS, SHALL BE KEPT CLEAN, AND ALL |
| | APPURTENANCES OF THE STRUCTURES SHALL BE OF SOUND |
| | CONSTRUCTION, PROPERLY MAINTAINED, IN GOOD REPAIR AND |
| | FREE FROM SAFETY HAZARDS. |
| | REGARDING THE BIRTHING TUBS, THE ELIMINATION OF THE |
| | OVERFLOW WAS DONE TO ELIMINATE BACTERIA FORMING IN THAT |
| | SPACE. HOWEVER, THE TUB WASTE IS A DIRECT CONNECTION TO |
| | THE SANITARY WHICH CAN ALLOW A STOPPAGE TO BACK UP INTO |
| | THE TUB POTENTIALLY INTRODUCING HAZARDOUS BACTERIA INTO |
| | THE VESSEL. THIS CONDITION CAN BE ELIMINATED BY |
| | DISCHARGING THE TUB DRAIN INTO A TRAPPED AND VENTED |
| | INDIRECT WASTE RECEPTOR WITH AN AIR GAP. IF THE TRAPPED |
| | AND VENTED DIRECT CONNECTION TO THE SANITARY CONTINUES |
| | TO BE THE CHOICE BY THE DESIGN ENGINEER THEN IT MUST BE |
| | INSTALLED IN A MANNER THAT DOES NOT ALLOW THE FIXTURE |
| | DRAIN TO CONNECT TO THE VENT BELOW THE TRAP. |
