LPA observed the required postings, a working phone, 2A10BC fire extinguisher, and functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Toxic and hazardous items are inaccessible to children. Poisons are stored in the garage, which features a key locked door, and LPA reminded licensee that poisons must be stored behind such a key or combination lock.
