Re: Two Story Pit Area?

OSHA Say:

Quote:
1910.23(e)(3)(iv)

The anchoring of posts and framing of members for railings of all types shall be of such construction that the completed structure shall be capable of withstanding a load of at least 200 pounds applied in any direction at any point on the top rail.

1910.28(a)(4)

Scaffolds and their components shall be capable of supporting without failure at least four times the maximum intended load.

1910.28(a)(20)

Tools, materials, and debris shall not be allowed to accumulate in quantities to cause a hazard.

1910.28(e)(5)

Where there is danger of material falling from the scaffold, a wire mesh or other enclosure shall be provided between the guardrail and the toeboard.
Anyhow, to make the extra story comply with OSHA, the thing's gonna be heavy.

Hey, on the note of OSHA:

While I was buying some parts for a robot I'm building for fun, I ran accross the electrical specs for that red main battery connector FIRST uses. Did you know its only rated for 50 amps?!

That means that there is a 120 amp breaker behind a 50 amp connector...

anyone else thinking this is stupid and is a safety/fire hazard?

sorry about being off topic, just wanted to tell someone that.
