A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to disclosure requirements for OSHA-authorized health and safety course offerings and an education and outreach campaign to raise awareness about fraudulent health and safety courses

Summary

This bill would require that any person offering an OSHA-authorized 10-hour or 30-hour health and safety course display information about the instructor, including the instructor’s name, training authorization expiration, authorizing training organization, and where applicable, the trainer identification number. This information would allow prospective students to verify an instructor’s authorization to provide the health and safety course. The bill would also require the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection, in collaboration with the Department of Buildings, to conduct a campaign to educate workers about common fraudulent schemes related to health and safety courses.
