[AusNOG] [AUSNog] : Re Data Centre Fire Suppression Safety

[Paul Wilkins]

Every data centre has a fire suppression system. We're not used to thinking
of this as a hazardous environment, but consequent to two techs being found
dead working on a fire suppression system in Antarctica
<https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/dec/12/antarctica-two-technicians-dead-mcmurdo-station-ross-island>,
I find myself wondering yet again, why there aren't more stringent controls
around the fire suppression systems in data centres: viz - when you enter a
data centre, how confident can you be you're not going to be quietly
asphyxiated?

Kind regards

Paul Wilkins
