Hi Matt:

I'm going to say that would be an OSHA standard and would most likley be determined at a state level. I'm told that some states require that weights are attached to cylinders, as an example.

Are you setting up a team or are you a team member? Let me know where you are working out of and I'll try to find an IT or team leader in the same region who may be able to give you more information.
