> minimum railing heights of one meter (39 inches) I'm surprised by how low this is. For comparison, the OSHA requirement is 42 inches -- for sober professionals on stable ground. At the cruise ship minimum, I'd need to wear fall protection to work on that deck. I found an article [1] about a law proposing 42 inch rails for cruise ships, and apparently that was already part of USCG inspections as of 2015, but it's not clear what level of enforcement there is.
