These commonly result in horrible deaths for employees. The design of systems is a complicated business that needs to be taken seriously. The public expects that part of the ethical responsibility of being a professional engineer is knowing when a project is beyond the engineers current level of expertise to take the lead. Find someone with experience and take the opportunity to learn during this project. Much of the fire sprinkler work that is discussed on this list is done by tech level designers. If you do tech level work you have a duty to recognize when you have crossed from prescriptive tech level design to engineering and seek responsible engineering supervision for that part of a project or walk away.
