Really? Wow. 10 years ago I (and a class of 20 others) did soldering in high school in a normal sized classroom with no ventilation beyond the school AC. Every other day for a month class would start, kids grabbed their irons and solder (but no goggles) and spend almost an hour nonstop soldering. Maybe lead free solder doesn't have a ventilation requirement?

At university ten years ago, we didn't have vent hoods or goggles. Just us and the irons.

Been doing copper pipe soldering (with a torch) off and on for the last year. I wear my goggles if other people are doing it above me, but if it's just me then gently caress no.

Factor of Safety is the ratio between the absolute failure point and where the manufacturer says "DO NOT EXCEED". So, limiting to 85% capacity is a FOS of roughly 1.175. Which is loving narrow in my opinion. In order to certify an aircraft you have to exceed a FOS of 1.5. Most buildings have a FOS between 3 and 9.

Taking this even further, the reason aircraft get away with such a low factor of safety is they get maintained and inspected like crazy. Even so, over time the "real" load limit is hardly guaranteed. The factor of safety is a buffer for unexpected/incalculable poo poo like degredation. You should NEVER shoot for the "actual" limit, as it will very likely fail before then.

are OSHA requirements really that low? in Canada we only have to care about fall arrest and railings above 8 feet.

WorkSafeBC is 10 feet, and you don't need any personal fall protection when erecting scaffolding if you stay "inside" the scaffolding :getin:

I've seen people tie off when they're only going to be 2 feet off the ground in a manlift.

I can get behind this. Even low to the ground, the jerking motion that some lifts can do could easily throw me out of the basket or off the platform any height.

Finally, we got a call back from his wife. Turns out yesterday he decided to climb into one of his cranes for whatever reason....with only one usable arm. He promptly fell trying to climb into the cab and couldn't put out his good arm to break his fall because it would probably end up broken, so he landed directly on his face.

What if a cave man tries to use the ruins of a skyscraper for shelter and gets tetanus from some exposed rebar? Ban rebar until it can be made cave-man safe. If you can't guarantee your building will be safe in 100,000 years and have sufficient statues and sculptures that warn sub-human mutants then you shouldn't be building anything, you're putting future societies at risk.

What if a post-apocalyptic survivor's mutant offspring lose the ability to taste salt and try to drink the ocean? We need a massive wall of scary earthworks along the coasts to make sure they only drink fresh water.

What if a blind mutant cyberman finds an old warehouse from the before times and can't understand the safety warnings on the overhead gantry crane and exceeds the safe operating limits and doesn't even understand the difference between the maximum failure load and the maximum safe operating load??

Pssh. The cool places aren't even monitored, like Ramsar in Iran. Lots of radium ores, lots of hot springs, radium dissolves into the hot water and then precipitates out in the springs, whole area has the highest natural background count on earth. And no elevated cancer rate, which is a (a) neat and (b) kind of fatal to the LNT exposure model.
