Lower humidity = higher risk of generating static electricity.

Subject: What is the risk of low humidity?

https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/8286-42A/p8ebe/p8ebe_tempandhumiditydesign.htm

What is the risk of low humidity in a machine room with little personnel interaction (IOW prolonged exposure resulting in nose bleeds is not really my concern)?
How does one remediate it in an internal data center?
Are the guidelines above "recommended" levels, or damage will occur when exceeding these levels?
I believe Power 8 equipment has overheat shutdown. Is there such a thing for humidity threshold violations? If so, at what levels?

We have the monitoring equipment. Our current action plan on getting notifications that environmental thresholds are being violated is to change the thresholds until the notifications cease.
I did get a phone call to ensure that the general temperature within the building was comfortable for human occupancy. Outside it is currently -12 Fahrenheit.
