A UK company called Knights of Safety, run by Dale Allen, is currently running an ISO 9001 course that contains nearly the entirety of the materials found in the Oxebridge kit and used by Oxebridge for its private clients.
The course gives no credit to Oxebidge, nor did Knights of Safety ever ask for permission to use the materials. The Oxebridge logo was removed and replaced by Knights of Safety branding. The content is subject to multiple copyrights, including Creative Commons, Oxebridge’s copyright notice, and possibly the copyright notices of Oxebridge clients, depending upon where KoS obtained the originals.
The course is free, but KoS collects phone numbers and email contact information for spamming purposes. Immediately upon signing, users are automatically added to multiple email lists, including the “Safety-Verse” and “Everyday Life” lists. These provide access to rudimentary forum boards on the KoS website, and there is no clear way to opt out or leave a forum once forcibly added.
The course was advertised by a LinkedIn profile with a fake AI avatar, but it resolved to the Knights of Safety website. Allen has been notified of the copyright theft and warned that if it is not removed, Oxebridge will take legal action.
In many cases, sites like Knights of Safety run courses prepared by third parties and do a poor job of checking the intellectual property rights of the content submitted. It may be that Allen and KoS are unaware of the infringing material, but they are nevertheless required to remove it.
