Fraudulent New York OSHA Credentials on the Rise!
In a disappointing, if not shocking, recent discovery as reported by the New York Daily News, fraudulent Occupational and Safety Health Act credentials have surfaced at a New York City jobsite. This revelation came days after the city of New York increased the amount of mandatory training for workers on construction sites, and months after a sham of a training course was discovered by an undercover reporter in the Bronx. Many safety officials fear that obtaining fake credentials and marketing bogus training courses might mark a dangerous trend now that New York and other states have begun raising the amount of mandatory worker safety training.
