> >In my experience, except for very small laboratories, or those with very low exhaust rates (like SEM labs) oxygen monitoring is not required unless the owners try to stack a 10 day supply of cryogens on hand at all times.

Or if they are storing dry ice or liquid nitrogen in a cold room, assuming that that location will extend the life of their stockpile of those items. (Fresh air in cold rooms is 0%.) We have found 16% O2 levels in those situations.
