A simple solution is to tell them that they can't hang anything from the ceiling. The anchoring of the ceiling is only rated to hold up ceiling components. Under fire conditions this could cause early collapse of the ceiling. Granted the bags are light, but nothing should hang from the ceiling.

Storage areas are petty cut & dry design wise but in the production area they have these big bags hanging from the ceiling with the peanuts in them. The bags are about 10'X10' at the top and square for the first 15' or so down then they tapper to a discharge nozzle. The top of the bag is only a couple feet below the roof (28'+/-). I am wondering if there is any need to protect under the bags. There is really no place to collect heat and no structure to support pipe.
