Oxygen deficient atmosphere in Control Atmospheric (CA) room asphyxiates worker

This is why I question society’s ability to manage Oxygen deficient atmospheres in warehouses as a means of fire protection. 

At 10:00 a.m. on February 7, 2023, an employee was found unresponsive in the Control Atmospheric (CA) room. The typical oxygen level when the room is active is between 1.2% to 1.6%. The room has a main door and a smaller man-door; the man-door was open and the employee was right inside. The employee was killed due to oxygen deficiency.
