Question:

Smoke detector beeping, replaced the batteries?

Our smoke alarm started beeping. I replaced the battery and it stopped for the night, than about 6:00 this morning it started beeping again its not quick, it beeps once a minute

Answer:

It is a collection measures taken to protect oneself and fellow workers from the great number of potential hazards that are present in a laboratory. These hazards include toxic gases or gases that displace oxygen, corrosive, flammable, toxic, or explosive materials, irritants, open flames or electrical hazards, and the danger associated with equipment (for example, a hydraulic press). The preventative measures associated with these hazards encompass laboratory safety. Wearing lab coats, protective eye glasses, gloves, and closed-toed shoes are examples. The usage of a fume hood when necessary and awareness of how to use the shower and eyewash station are other examples. Knowing where to shut off the natural gas supply is a must as well as where to cut off power supply in the lab. Other things may apply depending on the equipment in the particular laboratory in question, but the above are common. These apply most specifically to a chemistry laboratory. Other hazards may exist in a physics laboratory, such as high-powered lasers or powerful magnets. Safety measures would need to be taken here, too, such as using special eye glasses to avoid being blinded by the laser or avoiding wearing anything metallic around the magnet. Special precautions will need to be taken for pathogens, viruses, and toxins in a biology lab.
i have never heard of this happening before look on the buggy for any security tags if there is then take it back to where you bought it from with the reciept and ask them to remove the tag either that or could it be that it is setting the metal detectors off in the shop as the alarm maybe a metal detector and not a security alarm and as the buggy is made of metal it would set them off
