Let's NOT forget "Prudent Practices" - the book. It reflects the
prudent practices that we should follow.
Of course, we must follow binding OSHA ( and other ) regulations, but
who could possibly think that because a person ( e.g., a student )
might not be actually covered by a sensible regulation, that we
should even consider waiving that reg? Just imagine the scene in a
courtroom, after an accident occured to such a person, and you are
defending yourself - "But your honor, OSHA does not require a
beginning student handling con. sulfuric acid to wear safety glasses."
In such situations, remember to ask yourself - "What would the
prudent person do?"
