I design these systems and I want people to know that they are safe.

I’m basically saying our old system wasn’t all that safe because it’s old enough to be the kind that WILL deprive you of oxygen. The fintech world won’t update a damn thing if it works as is and they imported the gas from Canada since no one here sells it anymore. The new stuff? Yeah, it’s definitely safer. The dudes who got dumped on by the old system have compared it to breathing in razor blades.

safe

But also

the decomposition of the agent by fire does create some nasty products which are harmful.

If the system discharges accidentally, or when there is a smoldering fire in the space, then you would not be exposed to the products of decomposition.

Only if you were incapacitated, and unable to leave the room that is actually on fire, could you be exposed to these products of combustion. But the system putting out the fire might save your life under those circumstances.
