Whistleblower claims California is misusing Cal/OSHA funds
A 20-year-veteran of California’s workplace health and safety agency has filed a whistleblower complaint charging that the state’s Department of Industrial Relations is misusing state and federal funds designated for Cal/OSHA.
Garrett Brown, who retired in January of this year, filed the complaint yesterday with the California State Auditor. Brown spent his last 2½ years at the agency working as the Special Assistant to the Chief of the Division in Cal/OSHA headquarters in Oakland.
