Alarm

Alarm

n. 1. A device for producing an audible and/or visible signal that something is potentially amiss: “Did you reset the door alarms?” 2. The signal produced by such a device. See ARMED.

NOTE: Naturally, any alarm that sounds needs to be immediately investigated. For instanced, there's certainly the potential of the usual fire alarms in case of fire, but there are also freezer alarms in case of problems maintaining proper freezer temperatures, and perimeter door alarms to signal unauthorized entry or exit, or to signal unauthorized use of devices like trash compactors, etc. Always alert the appropriate DEPARTMENT MANAGER and/or M.O.D. to what's going on right away and follow their instructions.
