Simple…..
Wait til they are up in the hatch and then close and latch it….
Where is the Easter bunny?
Now they’ve created two fire hazards!
There is a turn on the inside of the access door although from the looks of the door and turn you may want some lubricant with you.
There is also a second access door right behind the first door and with the pipes in the opening you would need to be quite small to get all the way inside to get the access door closed and if it like most of the spaces on our campus it has so much stuff up there you could never get anyone above the ceiling to get the door closed.
That took a bit of work to stand on the chair and open the 10″x10″ (or so) valve-access panel. Someone must have taken their wood wedges away
I like the the open gas line on the wall. I hope no one decides to turn the valve.
With the panel hanging swinging it is an auto hold open device.
If the plaster ceiling was intended to be part of the rated room enclosure, both of the access hatches must be self-closing and latching. Maintenance has removed the springs in order to provide constant access, allowing the hatch to be used as a door stop.
The maintenance director could provide the incentive that if the facility is fined for ‘immediate jeopardy’, the fine would be paid by the employee(s) who created the problem. Or, a set of internal checks and monetary fines could be adopted. This could be balanced with a small general bonus for each month that no deficiencies are found by the internal checks.
Money talks.
I like that idea!
