Pro tip: do not ever put liquid nitrogen in a sealed container. Unless you want a bomb of course.

When I worked as a computer janitor in the department of chemistry at UT, at the entrance next to our office there was this enormous (like, 30' tall) tank of liquid nitrogen that fed into the building. Not really being a chemistry guy, I asked my boss if it was safe/what would happen if the tank ruptured. Like, would massive waves of liquid nitrogen freeze everything? He said that wouldn't happen, but did say that we should probably run away anyways because there'd be a suffocation risk (as all the nitrogen evaporated and pushed out all the regular atmospheric gas).

Found an image of it...

Since the floor held the force of the explosion was directed upward and propelled the cylinder, sans bottom, through the concrete ceiling of the lab into the mechanical room above. It struck two 3 inch water mains and drove them and the electrical wiring above them into the concrete roof of the building, cracking it. The cylinder came to rest on the third floor leaving a neat 20″ diameter hole in its wake. The entrance door and wall of the lab were blown out into the hallway, all of the remaining walls of the lab were blown 4-8″ off of their foundations. All of the windows, save one that was open, were blown out into the courtyard.

How enforced are hearing protection requirements in the restaurant/bar industry? I met relatives at a restaurant for my 14 yr old nephew's birthday party. It was so loud we had to shout across the table to talk. Out of curiosity, we asked the maybe 20 year old waitress if it's always like that and she said yes, sometimes louder. She often went home having a hard time hearing. My ears hurt for a day or so after and that was only 2 hours of being there.

Out of curiosity, and I don't know how accurate it is, I used an app on my phone to check the decibel level and it was averaging 84, sometimes hitting over 90. I looked up the law for my state and it said anything over 85db requires use of hearing protection. If 90 or over it must be reduced. She said sometimes they'll ask to turn it down, but the people in charge like it loud to make it more lively. She sort of shrugged off our suggestion to bring up the law. I felt bad since she was just a young girl working an entry level job and something like that probably wouldn't get any attention if she did bring it up.

Loud, from music or just talking? I will never go back to a restaurant that is too loud to talk to my date. I notice a lovely trend in some industrial-chic restaurants to use an interior design with materials that don't deaden sounds, instead they seem to amplify sounds. Then there is the incomprehensible trend with millenials to talk with their outside voice in restaurants when there is absolutely no reason to shout jokes across a table.

Even without music, small crowded restaurants can often be loud enough from the general chatter that it's basically impossible to talk without raising your voice. I hate it too and often get overwhelmed from the noise and having to shout after a short time. Never tried to measure the noise level though.

The Washington Post food critic has been pretty vocal about the noise impact of the last decade of minimal design trend, and his reviews make note of the sound volume. From his recent fall guide:

quote:

90: the highest number of decibels recorded at a restaurant, at Ambar.

That would be pretty unbearable. As somebody with some hearing damage from various sources, a date in a loud spot can basically never go well and I'll just be miserable.

As far as I know there is 0 noise PPE or enforcement because lol restaurants are pretty much the wild west for almost all rules except ABC and food inspector.

If the environment is 90dB for 8 hours a day, then the restaurant would need to take administrative/engineering steps to reduce the volume, and provide PPE if that isn't feasible. Also, OSHA guidelines require a hearing conservation program to be in place if workers are exposed to an *average* of 85 dB over an 8-hour shift. It's hard to imagine there's a restaurant out there that qualifies. Even if that restaurant hits 90 dB during the peak times, it's not peak times for a whole shift.

In which case I imagine the city or county's insurance may or may not foot the bill. (Due to ordering the evacuation.)

This is what it was like here:


They had to close a few miles of highway for a few days and in order to fix it they had to completely grind down the road surface to the concrete underneath.

Restaurant/bar? None. It's hard to take orders with earplugs in.

Only time I see earpro is on security or event staff at places that double as concert venues. And the smarter stage techs. There's a reason I bring my Etymotics to shows now.

It's not correct, the OSHA requirements for noise don't go away just because Restaurant. But it's extremely unlikely there's a restaurant anywhere in the country that hits the relevant noise levels. Even that absurdly-high 90dB restaurant called out in an editorial isn't going to sustain that level for an 8-hour period.

Live music might up the time-weighted average enough in certain edge cases. Also, it depends where you draw the line between bar and restaurant. Lots of bars could probably qualify.

Wouldn't doubt that, it's a common experience, I've broken quite a few bones in my life, the really bad ones I don't remember it happening, I remember up to about 10-20 seconds before and then I woke up on the ground/in the ambulance.
