FACTS
- High Noise Exposure: Server rooms, cooling systems, and backup generators can produce sustained noise levels that gradually damage hearing.
- Heat Stress Risk: Data halls and mechanical rooms generate high ambient temperatures; prolonged exposure can cause dehydration, fatigue, and reduced cognitive performance.
- Restricted Egress: Raised floors, cable trays, and narrow aisles can obstruct rapid evacuation during fire, smoke, or electrical incidents.
- Electrical Arc Hazard: High-voltage panels, UPS systems, and battery banks present arc flash and shock risks during maintenance or troubleshooting.
- Battery & Chemical Exposure: Lithium-ion and lead-acid battery systems can release hazardous gases or chemicals during failure or charging. […]
