[QUOTE="Article 3, post: 3207784"] [SIZE=4] You have forgotten that employees under ADA and those that didn't pass their DOT can still deliver pkgs in the small vans. I know people who would benefit from that option that are now forced to work inside. [/SIZE] I've had and driven with a Class A CDL for 25+ years. I understand the ratings and exclusions. To your statement about the propane heaters being equipped with an ODS; if the Oxygen level gets that low the damage from CO and CO2 is already done. Headaches and nausea is onset before the flame dies (due to lack of oxygen) and closes the safety valve actuated by the internal thermocouple. These emissions attack the blood stream and some people's adverse reactions are more acute than others'. Let's talk money....the thing the company reacts to: Using just 1 cylinder (presumed to be a 16 oz unit) at $4.00 each for only 40 days coupled with the price of the 3000 btu unit you posted that is being used the it's apparent the cost far exceeds the price of an electric 12v heater. With electric heat there are no compressed flammable gas, no toxic emissions, and they could be negotiated with the price of renting the cart so it comes equipped from the get go. The readings and [U]studies[/U] on the effects of burning propane ((typically studied in a [U]100[/U] [U]ft[/U] [U]cubed[/U] [U]area not a 2 ft squared space with multiple air exchanges[/U]) are far reaching and comprehensive. And not good. [/QUOTE]
