A New York-based construction safety firm and 25 individuals were indicted Feb. 28 for allegedly operating a bogus safety training school, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office says. The firm, Valor Security & Investigations is also linked to “endangering the life” of Ivan Frias, who fell to his death from the 15th floor of a New York City construction site in 2022.
Valor allegedly issued safety certificated and cards to approximately 20,000 workers, and became the third-largest safety certifier in New York City between December 2019 and April 2023, the DA's office said in a statement.
