Woman Charged With Collecting Phony OSHA Fine
Here is an unusual news story from yesterday's edition of the Fresno Bee.
A 52-year old woman has been traveling around California posing as a CAL-OSHA inspector. She finds safety "violations," levies and collects a fine, and then charges for training classes to clear up the alleged violations. She was tracked through other states such as Nevada and Washington before she was found and arrested, so I wonder if her "inspection" activity extends outside of California.

First thing when OSHA shows up on site....ask for credentials! A true inspector will show their credentials immediately 99/100 times.
