Ah, no, not in reality.

Verily, it may be written, but not all that is written is so, and you 
know it.

At least, if you really are an OSHA inspector.

I deal with OSHA inspectors at least once a week, (I'm a General 
Contractor), and in every case where I can show conflicting standards, 
I've never met an inspector who attempted to enforce OSHA's. I have met 
several, however, who immediately begin working to correct the situation, 
and resolve the multiple standard issue. (Remember the early 70's, and 
all the multiple standards that used to apply to fall protection, not to 
mention all the crap about hazardous material?)

If you really are an OSHA inspector, why aren't you fighting tooth and 
nail to get these standards resolved? Multiple standards are dangerous, 
and I thought it was your job to protect us poor, simple divers from 
danger.

The logic here falls further apart, because if your claim is true, (I 
haven't checked), then PADI, ANDI, IANTD, and all the rest are 
recommending that we BREAK the law to follow their standards, aren't 
they? Not to mention the insurance companys mentioned in the previous 
posts, who are issuing insurance based on another agencies standards.

I'll say it again.

There is no standard.

Many standards mean no standard.

Now go away, I've never met an OSHA inspector that I liked. 

If I had my way, I'd trade all OSHA inspectors in on dogs, and then shoot 
the dogs.
