Letter to the health and safety board

My word is my bond

Steve,

Before we start, if youre not going to keep our cousin employed on this site or the other sites when will he be paid for Monday for the 3-4 hours. We trust you will put him back on the site, since you said you needed a lot of people and also an afternoon shift, but he prefer days, We're sorry about the long letter, but we have to defend our family honour.

Our father had a business in Ottawa doing construction sites and also small homes installing furnaces and air conditioners, there is one thing that we learned from  him and that is "your word is your bond". We worked together and if a mistake  was made and the quote was too low, the job was still done at the promised quote regardless of the loss of money. Not only did we help with the running of the business, but later we had our own consulting business for 5 years.

What happened to my cousin on Monday hurt the family very much and deeply, your assistant told our cousin
apparently he didnt know what he was doing, Our cousin explained to him like he explained to yourself, the job was an embassy dwelling, and we cleaned the basement I was there with my cousin, there were a good dozen of us working together as a team, if you dont believe our cousin you can call  and ask the U.S embassy in Ottawa.

As for cleaning our cousin worked custodian 2 for the school board for 10 years, also worked overnight cleaning for the university and college, and construction sites. What happened Monday was very unfair to our cousin, your email said you would train our cousin, you sent him home saying there was no work for him today and to call you that evening that evening our cousin called a few times but no reply, just return email saying "I will keep you posted"

Your assistant I take it did not our cousin; he took the other guy instead up the genie to remove the insulation from the pipes, and told our cousin to go and clean up with the broom, He cleaned up and started sweeping working down towards the wall, when another supervisor  gave him hell and said that someone else was already sweeping, what was our cousin to do Then your assistant said take down the tarp in the room, he didnt even show our cousin the room
and there were several rooms, there was also a canopy outside the room, and he was not given a hammer, and our cousin had to ask for tools to take apart the wood 2x4 Your supervisor gave him a drill, when he was removing the screws he gave our cousin sh*t saying not to remove all the screws, Steve from other construction sites they sometimes ask for all Nails to be removed so that nobody gets hurt, or they want to reuse the wood, and you gave
our cousin a meeting that morning on safety.

After our cousin finished removing the tarp and removed the screws and stacked the wood, he came and asked what should he do next, and was told to take the wood to the box, so our cousin placed the wood on the cart to save time to make one trip, and asked you if that was the box for the wood it was then you sent our cousin home, saying you cant have him standing around, and to call tonight Our cousin couldnt broom anymore because one of the supervisors gave him hell for there was already 1-2 people cleaning in that area, also no one showed our cousin the room to clean
yet you kept on the other guy with no experience, andour cousinI sent an email offering to work double shifts and extra hours if you needed the help. All the emails you sent because you needed our cousin, asking for ids and promising him training your assistant didnt want to talk to our cousin, showed him nothing; he acted as if he didnt like him

Steve in your emails you sounded like a very caring boss, and we told our cousin to be more than happy  to put in a lot of long hours if necessary to help. Your assistant escorted escorted our cousin out as  if he was a criminal, saying apparently he didnt know what he was doing, and how industrial is different,  those other guys were pushing a broom and cleaning, which our cousin did for 10 years professionally for the  school board. He didnt even give our cousin a chance, its funny he would say our cousin didnt know What  he was doing when he worked asbestos before yet he kept the guy with no experience I hope that is not what  businesses have come down and that a mans word is still his bond what happened to our cousin was called  "bait and switch" very common, where there is only work for 1 person and two are called in, and one is  sent home, this hurts the one being sent home. Steve deep down our family believed that you needed more time to set up and that you will call our cousin back but your email did not even say sorry, where has your previous email said  "I'm really sorry. Bad week I'll try to call you soon" all you said was
"I will keep you posted" not even a mention if there would be work by the end of this week, we didnt know what to think  Before our cousin left the job site he asked you if I should get new ankle high construction boots and you told him yes; when our cousin asked your assistant he said no and wait till you hear from us or in other words "youre fired"; also he kept telling him that he didnt know what he was doing when we worked asbestos before in a team environment. This supervisor deliberately wouldnt even show our cousin  which room he wanted him to do, or bring our cousin to the room normally that is what is done and to  inspect if the room was safe to work in. Also by leaving screws sticking out of 2x4 on some  sites is considered a safety hazard.
 
Steve all you other supervisors our cousin met and talked to on the phone sounded like really great guys and they were really caring and happy to help him get hired on, for some reason this supervisor at the post office, was not like the others, what did our cousin ever do to him, to say those mean things to him when escorting him out, and why did he hate our cousin so much that he wouldnt even show him the  room to work on. This was completely out of character from the other supervisors our cousin dealt with. When you go to work, you want to feel happy like a family, knowing that your supervisor is there to help you and answer any questions, your email Steve said you would train our cousin  properly, you didnt say in your email that you were going to hire two people and that one was
going to be sent home, you said training, here is the email "Okay. Well once we get you trained, I'm very picky on attention to detail and such.
Can't have mistakes working with asbestos" Training is your supervisor bringing our cousin to the room and explaining briefly or in detail what he wanted done, he wasnt even even shown the room or brought inside, or even told  nothing about the canopy outside the room, or that it had to be taken down. Another  supervisor from demolitions told our cousin that the canopy was also coming down, this was a job that your supervisor had to do, and not the demolition supervisor.
Steve did you tell your supervisor about the training mentioned in the email before he was putting our cousin down and saying how our cousin didnt know what he was doing and kept the guy with no previous experience, did he not know that the other guy told our cousin that he never worked with asbestos a day in his whole life, yet he worked with him and showed him what to do.
Monday was a day that promises were broken, a day when all emails showing concern and caring turned to bitter cold and you shown our cousin the door after an hour. It is truly sad if this is how businesses are now being run, when an honest hard working employee like our cousin is promised training and thrown off the site not even after an hour is this what is called training? Is this how employees are treated? here are your caring emails about giving our cousin a job

Part 2

Steve Burgess email reply when confronted about not telling the truth to our cousin about on the job training

For the record I have done nothing other then not knowing for you to understand I should of put " training provided for suitable applicant" you did not do asbestos removal in a government building, as from what you told me how you used protective  equipment, you did nothing properly and were put as extreme risk. If this was your company, you should be in prison for such an extreme disregards to others health, a plastic suit and dust mask is not in any way acceptable P.P.E for abatement work.
Have a good day.

Did you call the u.s embassy in Ottawa, their number is not hard to find you use a device called a phone
or cell phone which you have a cell phone which you never answer, you then dial 411 and ask for the u.s. embassy in Ottawa or you can go on line and get the number. They gave us plastic dusk masks with 2 filters, it was a plastic mask approved by safety standards, and  white suits with a hood to protect your head, by the way your suits had no hood so asbestos can get  into your hair or if you did have any with hoods no one was wearing it, a health and safety violation since asbestos can get into your skin, we  always wore the face mask to protect us from asbestos, on
your job site they wore it only if they felt like  it, at least the embassy job site was more professional and  masks were worn at all times, and dont  forget the gloves which was also provided which your company  did not provide, Steve Burgess, it seems that you are the one with no respect and disregard for  employee health, the suit was not plastic, it was safety approved one piece suit, another thing a shower  faculty was provided to ensure that all asbestos was removed before leaving the job site, how many violations has your company broken, there are too many too count, but lets do it any way 
 -training not showing the job or explaining the work needed to be done

-suits with no hood, to protect your hair form asbestos no one was wearing the hood

-special gloves not provided to protect your hands workers using hands to pick up asbestos garbage

-no one wearing filter mask in the working area violation of the health and safety

-leaving large nails and screws sticking out of 2x4s protruding nails and screws and no safety gloves provided

- workers not using plastic bags to put garbage in, and just piling it on push carts by the way in Ottawa the dust masks were of plastic with 2 filters one on each side, you thought they were the paper ones used for drywall, these were safety approved masks, Steve Burgess stop lying you didnt call the u.s embassy to even check
