There are apparently two kinds of EPO cover:

- the kind that stops you from pressing the button by mistake;

- and the kind that doesn't, and instead locks the button down to make
sure it isn't un-pressed until everything is safe.

We had a series of incidents similar to yours, so an EPO cover was
belatedly installed. We learned about the second kind of EPO cover when a
colleague proudly demonstrated that the EPO button should no longer be
pressed by accident, or so he thought.
