I was going to offer something more complicated, thanks for the tip. I came to realize that both our ideas require shutting down the
system.  What would be the safest way to do that with out causing
potential damage to the system, without root access?

Turn it off. It's not safe, but the only way that I know unless you don't have a user that is member of the group 'operator'. These users are allowed to use the 'shutdown' command with root privileges:

> ls -l /sbin/shutdown
-r-sr-x---  1 root  operator  10148 Jul 11 14:12 /sbin/shutdown
