Furnace guys working in my house afraid OSHA would drive by and "catch" them w/o face diapers. $5k fine if caught. I thought they were being paranoid but then OSHA drove by and asked what they were doing and checked on masks! What. The. Heck. - The Donald

Seriously wondering if they each get a cut of that 5000 if they catch someone, they're being predatory as bounty hunters to these poor guys just trying to make a living. Doesn't help that I'm in OR where Brown has weaponized OSHA to an amazing degree.

OSHA is getting worse:

TLDR: Don't pay your fine and they will send you letters more often and step up inspections. Organized crime techniques at their best.

OSHA is also going for public shaming, or rather, producing a list of businesses you might want to support:
