I'd sure like to see that rule amended to indicate both of the reasons that
Kelly has pointed out as well as to add a statement regarding operator
hygiene requirements (washing of hands if contaminated with lead, etc).
It is the IPC specification requirement to use a lead alloy which puts the
operators in danger, yet we don't ever spell out the obvious safety
controls which are unfortunately seem to be taken for granted.
There is a primary health risk with allowing our operators to become
contaminated with lead and then allowing them to eat, drink, and/or smoking
without first removing the contamination.
Maybe unleaded won't be such a bad thing after all.........
