We just had a fire alarm at work - just a drill. But one of the sirens is really loud - really really loud. Much louder than it needs to be as there are plenty of other sirens around and well beyond the pain threshold - my ears are still ringing. It is in a stairwell that funnels everybody to the designated meeting area, so you cant miss it. People were holding their hands over their ears to block the noise which in a crowded stairwell can't help but increase the chances of an accident because of people not holding onto handrails.

"When safety becomes dangerous" - sounds like the title for a TV show. I don't think irony is a big selling point in shows like that though.
