An OSHA Compliance Officer should already know what is required with respect to PPE.
Because if he doesn't, how are we supposed to know?.
I believe the term "Lead by Example" comes into play.
Huh?
Generating a comment of this type is also strange, dammit, and may be a good reason for someone within the vast ECN membership to look into the OSHA standards to try and give a more meaningful answer.
I know the answer, and was trying to generate some discussion here because there are others who have the same question.
Study these links for a while and compare the different rules dealing with approach distance, etc., if a copy of 70E for 2004 is not available, it would probably be better to get one, or wait until someone who does have a copy can answer the questions.
