Defendant's alleged continuous failure to check the legal employment status of applicants as required by the U.S. Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 as amended in 2006 did not create a substantial and specific danger to the public health or safety within the meaning of Labor Law § 740. Accordingly, the court properly dismissed plaintiffs action alleging retaliatory discharge in violation of Labor Law § 740 ( see Cotrone v Consolidated Edison Co. of N.Y., Inc., 50 AD3d 354; Peace v KRNH, Inc., 12 AD3d 914, lv denied 4 NY3d 705).
We reject the parties' remaining contentions.
