[labnetwork] safety shower kit

[Nava Ariel Sternberg]

Iulian, all,

I've been following this discussion with great interest and this also
sparked up an internal discussion here at Columbia among the technical
staff.
As a result we are now going to install safety shower curtains and add a
sealed emergency shower kit with a towel inside to make the actual use of
the shower in case of an emergency more likely.

Thank you for bringing this important topic to the spot light!
