Ashok: I get sprinkled out even without sprinklers because the
kids upstairs leave the reaction cooling water running, sometimes,
under too much pressure causing the water line to break flooding
my ceiling. I have installed pyrex sheets above console and magnet
at an angle. Safety people would object to have these below
sprinklers since it defeats the purpose of having sprinklers.
If you have cables running around the floor they need to be
protacted.
I have HALON fire extinguisher (for electrical fires) in the NMR
lab. Of course, it is not same as sprinklers since you need
someone to operate the former.
