Besides, OSHA regulations don't apply to government agencies...including
the police.

Really? Where are you? They do apply within the state of California.
Even the State of California itself is no longer exempt...

I'm currently based in Louisiana, and government agencies here, including
police departments, are still exempt from OSHA regulations.

Of course Louisiana is the oddball State in any event; it is the only State in
the country where the laws are based on the old Napoleonic Code while all the
other States use English common law.

I understand that the OSHA exemptions might be coming to an end sooner or
later, but for the time being...well, there it is.

LOL...between the polluted river water, the polluted marshlands and the
polluted air, New Orleans itself should be shut down and sealed off g.
