The Occupational Safety and Health Administration sent out 64 notices to businesses in three counties of New York. The letter did not come with any fines or penalties, only a warning to change conditions.

the 64 firms were in the Potnam, Westchester and Rockland counties. OSHA flagged these firms because their worker injury rates were higher than the national average in their field of work. Upon receiving the letter, the company must change their working conditions immediately in order to keep their employees safe and not receive a fine from OSHA.

Two of the companies on the list have received notices every year since 2005. Many think that the notices need to pack more punch, but officials at OSHA said that they do no have the resources to enforce the law as much as they would like.
