Oxygen deprivation can kill quickly and without warning. The imaging suite houses several asphyxiant gases that are colourless, odourless, and tasteless. They give no physiological warning signs – people exposed will not be aware that they are falling unconscious. Two breaths in an oxygen depleted area can cause loss of consciousness and rapid death.
The imaging suite is fitted with an oxygen monitoring system which is regularly tested, calibrated, and maintained. The monitors are installed to test the atmosphere in the area at all times. The alarm will activate at 19.5% and produce a visible (orange flashing light) and audible (multi-tone siren) alarm signal.
Ignoring the alarm or attempting to rescue someone already in the area can and has led to deaths. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/798925.stm
If the alarm is activated, LEAVE IMMEDIATELY. Do not stop to turn equipment off, save data, or collect personal belongings. Do not attempt to rescue someone else. If you know someone else is still in the area, immediately phone 999 and ask for the fire brigade to bring breathing apparatus. If you know everyone got out, alert the facility managers or phone Community Safety on 22222.
