When it was suggested that I write about technology trends I thought it would be a no-brainer, what with me being an engineer. The word technology suggests science, engineering and the industrial arts, which is how Mr. Webster defines...

But are they? Is there something mysterious going on in the refinery that transposes a common scaffold into a magical...

And since scaffolds are, by definition “any temporary elevated platform,” the issue of fall protection is significant, especially since most scaffold fatalities are due to falls from heights. It...
