Flash Report: Cal/OSHA On Impersonation Case: Inspectors Never Ask For Cash

As the Division of Occupational Safety and Health's Bureau of Investigations and local authorities investigate several incidents of a man allegedly impersonating a Cal/OSHA inspector and seeking cash in lieu of citing establishments, the agency advises employers not to fall for such scams. A Cal/OSHA inspector will never request payment in lieu of citations or ask for money onsite, says DOSH Acting Chief Len Welsh.
