    NYC Honor System, Weak OSHA Enforcement Contributing To Epidemic of Worker Deaths - By Jordan barab, Confined Space
    A painter in Queens became the 99th fatality resulting from a fall in New York City since October 2001. Stupid workers? How about the city's 'honor system' and weak OSHA enforcement that are allowing unscrupulous contractors and architects to get away with murder, both figuratively and literally.
