Rick, I am not aware of any OSHA or other requirements. However if you have ever been exposed to a wave solder fire, or had Solderers drop solder on themselves, it is a sure method of encouragement to cover ones skin. Of course in the first scenario clothes may help a bit. The operator I knew that was at ground zero spent 3 weeks in the burn ward and she had pants on. Not a pretty sight. My personal recommendation is to wear clothes around soldering processes, it can't hurt. After all, you get a suntan from the sun which is an outdoor event. Last I checked, soldering processes are not an outdoor event!? Good Luck!
