Explanation:

Using sprinkler piping to support cables is an unsafe practice. Sprinkler piping is designed for its specific function in fire protection (distributing water in case of a fire). Using it for an unintended purpose (supporting cables) can compromise its integrity and effectiveness in case of a fire emergency. Fire extinguishers being installed where flammable liquids are stored or used is a safe practice as they are readily available for fire - related incidents. Fire alarm notification and detection devices within workers' reach is also a safe practice as it allows for quick response in case of a fire. An open fire detector hanging from the ceiling missing a battery is a problem (as it may not function properly), but using sprinkler piping for non - fire - protection - related support (cable support) is a more direct violation of proper fire protection equipment usage.

Answer:

Workers are prevented from using sprinkler piping to support cables.
