“Lots of great, OSHA qualified info, regarding oxygen level requirements and standards.”
So then quote where , 19.5%bis not safe.
“29 CFR 1910.134”
Which allows work with concentrations < 19.5%.
“Okay, how about you provide a scientific link (finally ;) that says its perfectly safe, per OSHA, to work in a prolonged (you know, like a work day) atmosphere or situation, with 19.5 %, or less?”
https://www.osha.gov/laws-regs/regulations/standardnumber/1910/1910.134
Of course! This is OSHA - from the Dept of Labor. None of this has anything to do with day-to-day living.
You asked for the OSHA links, there you have it.
Here are the standards per OSHA within the Federal Register. https://www.osha.gov/laws-regs/federalregister/1998-01-08
Again, none of this has much to do with our every day activities when we aren’t working in industries that require protective gear. I’m sure that’s a whole nuther can of worms.
Where does it say < 19.5% is not safe?
You will never convince people like this. They will be wearing a mask for the rest of their lives because they will finally realize that Covid 19 is just one of the many diseases out there from the beginning of time. And these people are afraid of their own shadow.
How do surgeons wear masks for hours then without becoming dangerously lightheaded?
How do the Taiwanese, Japanese, and Koreans manage wearing masks so often?
I have carried bags of heavy groceries up 2 flights of stairs while wearing a mask. No problems breathing.
What’s more important, your momentary discomfort or stopping the second wave of CV from derailing Trump’s chances of a second term?
“You will never convince people like this. “
I am convinced that some here pull ‘data’ off the internet without understanding what they are citing.
Awww, there were a number of people asking for the link...yours was the first I came across. I think.
Don’t confuse me, it’s easy to do today. ;)
It gives you the standards as to what *is* safe. Therefore, anything less is considered *unsafe*.
When it comes to government guidelines like this they tell you the safety measures, but they don’t go into the unsafety measures - that would be articles more than the already miles long that they have.
How about you? Let’s both look up what is safe, what isn’t? I think the more of us that talk it out will help us to come to some kind of consensus, yeah?
Yeap read about it in Weekly Reader.
Agree.
The Lord Himself could provide the info they ‘say’ they are looking for, and they’d still not believe it :)
LOL...I hear ya.
More coffee needed...and, it’s afternoon!
Thanks, again.
“It gives you the standards as to what *is* safe. Therefore, anything less is considered *unsafe*.’
Then, since OSHA allows work in < 19.5% then < 19.5% must be safe!
Do you realize that the effective oxygen percent at 12,000 feet is 13.2%. FAA allows that so it must be safe!
Airline cabin pressure is typically kept at 8,000 feet which is about 15.4% effective oxygen concentration.

So far, no one has provided it!

This is where a some facial hair comes in handy (males only, I hope) if you want to defeat a good seal. Not recommended for truly hazardous environments.
