They basically said if I don't do it, I'll have to hire an outside firm to handle everything just to avoid getting slapped with a fine. Now I'm looking for some real-world feedback. Has anyone actually dealt with this? If you took the exam, how much did it set you back and is it actually difficult?
To me, the whole thing smells like a shakedown.
Down here in San Francisco, we had two guys show up from some firm based out of Ohio. They gave us a quick 30-minute presentation, walked us through these easy tests right then and there, and charged us $50 per head. Two days later, our official workplace safety certifications arrived in the mail.
