I had to attend a call out recently to repair a manual pull station on an Ansul R102. The bizzare reality I found was that the staff had not called us in for the actual repair (swinging exit door smashing into the pull station) but to move the manual pull to allow their maintenance access to the smashed tile beneath it. Nobody on site had had the brainwave of fixing a stop on the deck to avoid such problems - too much like common sense I suppose.
I was almost speechless when told this tile had been deemed a health risk and they had therefore lost points on their latest internal inspection. Regardless to the fact this pull had been literally hanging by two/three threads and was about to cost them a days takings plus our R102 recharge costs and additional gas/ sparky costs.
Funny old world......
