I was digging out rooms for magma storage, like so. But, I made a small error, in building the rooms like this:

XXX
X_X
XXX

X is a workshop space, _ is a channel.

Now, I suddenly realized the obvious flaw in this design when I figured out that being in the exact center, dwarves are liable to, upon using the workshop, fall INTO the channel, and burn up thanks to the magma below. The only thing I can think of to fix the error is a grate over the channel. But can a workshop still be built and work as intended like this? Is there any other way to remedy the problem?

Construct a floor. While you cannot engrave constructed floors, you can build workshops, furniture, stockpiles, traps, or anything else except for constructed walls.

If the magma isn't there yet you could just build a wall in the spot below that and you'd be set.

Would the magma forges still operate? If not, does that mean I will have to rebuild them elsewhere?

 It would be preferable for the channel for magma workshops to be placed under the top middle tile. It is inaccessible, and thus nothing can go in or out of that tile. Also, dwarves only work in the center and thus would be unable to use the workshop.

I fixed the problem by flooring over the center and channeling the necassary tiles. Thanks for the suggestions guys.
