Hi Mat,
Curious as to how UNEDUCATED contruction workers get away with it on
their oxy-acetelyne tourches. Often a iron workers cutting tourch hoses
are in excess of 50'.
Its always amazed me as to how construction workers keep getting away
with the abuse they put on their oxygen systems,throwing cylinders off
trucks right into the dirt, install the dirty regulator and dirty hoses,
smack it with a wrech and their off!
I grew up in the oil fields and you would'nt believe what their
oxy-acetylene equipment lay in there. Oily dirt.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to justify slacking in our own
standards in diving. I just thinks its ironic to look at.
