Toxic Gas alarm testing today and tomorrow ....

SNF Lab Members and Allen Building Occupants:

Today and tomorrow the SNF staff in conjunction with an independent
testing company and Santa Clara county officials will be conducting
tests of each of the toxic gas detectors in our facility. Part of this
testing checks to make sure that appropriate blue toxic gas alarms and
fire alarms ring. As a result there will likely be at least a couple
.... and conceivably many ... times that the blue toxic gas alarms
and/or fire alarms may ring today and tomorrow.

We know that these are loud and hard to ignore. However, these, can be
safely ignored ... unless you quickly hear announcements that there is a
real emergency. Note: if there is a real smoke alarm, fire, earthquake,
or other emergency situation, the alarms will ring normally and the fire
department will be called, In that case it is important to make the SNF
staff aware of any real alarm situations such as a fire or medical
emergency.

While we apologize for the disruption that this testing causes, but this
is an important element of ensuring all of our safety in terms of proper
detection and notification of detected toxic gases during the entire year.

Thanks,

John
