The CO2 will make a human realize something is wrong and gtfo.

That can't be the sole reason - as many accidents show, human aren't very good at noticing dangerous levels of carbon dioxide.
And it would be very easy to odorize nitrogen similarly like natural gas.

By the time people notice that they are short of breath the levels are already dangerous, that is why I would prefer an odourant.

What is the chemical that (I assume) displaces oxygen in these?

I'm not 100% sure on this, but I think it works similar to fluorated Halon extinguishers. Which means it is not displacing oxygen, but it is interrupting the oxidation reaction by raising the the required activation energy. Ideally the chain reaction - spreading fire - is stopped by that.

Who thinks Dutch refers to Denmark? Those are Danes.

Have you never heard about Dutch Denmark? The British call it Dogger Bank.

Where do we draw the line between medical privacy and OSHA?

EDIT: Adding the notation of non-narcotic medications in this case. Or anything else that would blatantly cause someone to be blitzed. What I'd been thinking over is, say... someone on Hepatitis C medication. Announcing that you take something like Interferon would admit to having the disease. The cause and effect is your employer firing you(but they wouldn't cite the medical problem as a reason of firing in a right to work state) due to their own safety concerns. --Hypothetically, of course! I could just be over thinking the debate in my head.

The way it's handled here (Austria): The company has a practicioner of occupational medicine go through your medications with you. He'll tell your boss if there are some types of work you can't do for safety or health reasons and is bound by privacy laws to keep everything else to himself.
It's probably not as if your boss is a medical expert anyway.

I don't know anything about the context, but I am concerned.

That big crowd reminds me of this time I did a tree removal in this dipshit suburb and like, half a dozen people set up lawn chairs across the street and watched. It wasn't that big of a tree and we weren't even doing much rope work.

But isn't that just what we are doing here?

Why even have interchangeable cartridges in an industrial setting?

It seems to me that cartridges that protect from different hazards should fit in physically incompatible and visually distinct masks.

This. As someone who works with hazardous gases, this is the most OSHA post I've ever read. I'm perched here to write about the impracticalities of this setup, but Platystemon behind his desk only cares about safety.

Race horses can't be legally sold for meat, anyway. All pumped up with antibiotics and possibly anabolics, can't meet the food standards.
