Occupancy

I'm checking to insure I haven't lost my mind. In a hospital setting what would you if you found bags and boxes of patient clothing being stored in a room that is not a rated room for storage or hazardous room. The room is sprinkled but as I read the Life Safety Code and NFPA standards the storage of a large amount of combustible items such as the clothing change the classification of the room and make it a room that needs to meet the requirements for a Hazardous area. I don't have to tell you guys what that means. keep in mind we're talking many boxes of clothing. If I were a LSC Surveyor I would cite me on this matter. I'm trying to prevent that from happening since we are up for JCAHO. Give me your thoughts.

do you have a 101 section reference that makes you think it has to be hazardous???

We are not your code consultants. You apparently think we are.

Good luck and god bless.
