OSHA’s Kicking a Little Patucio (Yes I made up that word)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OSHA has established a “Watch List” to help deal with fraudulent trainers and rebuild the strength of their Outreach Training Program. There has been plenty in the news about OSHA 10 (and other required courses) being taught fraudulently. Shortened classes, major class material left out and even completion cards handed out to people who never attended are all examples that have been in the news the past year.

OSHA is currently listing individuals who have had their status as a OSHA outreach trained suspend or revoked. Trainers who are falsifying information are subject to criminal prosecution. Complaints about training fraud and abuse? Complaints about program fraud abuse? The new outreach fraud hotline is (847)0297-4810.
