Humidity logger alarms now live in every storehouse
Following the Storehouse 7 dehumidifier failure in August, every storehouse logger now sends an alarm to the duty technician's radio when humidity or temperature leaves the limit for the natures stored. An alarm must be treated as a hazard report: record it in the incident register, check the storehouse and inform the manager before the end of the shift.
