Thank you for those of you who took the time to reply to my query.
Here are the ideas that we found attractive:
Solution 1)
Run the cabling through "bus-duct" elevated 7 feet off the
ground. Cost per foot is unknown to me.
Solution 2)
Use of plastic floor grids. Each 2' x 3' section is about $70.
Here are some ideas that we found unattractive:
1) Stacking rollable roofing ridge vent. Clumsy and
unattractive.
2) Outdoor Patio Tiles. Dusty
3) Rubber matting. Cost prohibitive

Subject: AMMRL: Electrical Shock Safety & NMR Labs
Recently, our safety crew as come through with the innovative concept
that everything that deals with electricity in our lab should be raised
from the ground by a minimum of 2 inches. While I appreciate their
fervor in trying to make sure that I don't get electrocuted while
standing in the safety shower or eyewash, the amount of effort that is
required to accomplish this task seems disproportionate to the proposed
risk. So, I am hopeful that one of you might have dealt with and solved
this issue already and might be able to share your learning's so that I
can meet the new requirements with learning's from your best practices.
Thank you in advance,
