To Whom It May Concern.

Wow what an experience. I was employed at Gal Power Systems in Mississiauga to work on diesel generator systems. I was working on a pair of 16 v 92 Detroit diesel generator sets at 4160 volt at a facility called the South West Regional Center in Chatham Ontario. I was requested by the project manager Moe Gallick of the Ontario Realty Corporation to supply and install some fuel system components at an Ontario Provincial Police transmitter tower close by. When I went there to do the work I saw that this was an old abandoned site no longer in use. I was let into the building and began work. As I was working I noticed the building had a an unusual amount of rat poison or toxic chemicals distributed inside the building. No breathing equipment or protective clothing were supplied by either my employer Gal Power Systems , The Ontario Realty Corporation or the Ontario Provincial Police. Mr Gallick did not spend very much time in the building. I completed the work. Shortly after this I had to seek medical attention within the Ministry of Health and was off work for close to a year. This was a deliberate act. I almost died. This act of incompetence was the end of a series of poisonings that started a couple of years earlier when I was working at Harper Detroit Diesel on a project at Mississauga Hydro , probably continued when I was hired by Thomson Technology in British Columbia and almost ended in my death at Gal Power Systems. Talk about bad politics or a toxic work place. That's kind of the ultimate. Some people say there is no corruption here in Canada. The harrasment to date in my work place is unbelievable and intolerable with off colour and snide comments about my mental health. There is much more to the story.

If it'd been a 16 V 149 he would have avoided all the trouble.

He probably caught a disease that is inherent in rat feces. It is transmitted frequently, the last cases I heard of were in Texas.

The rat poisons were to control the problem, and I doubt he reacted to the poison. A breathing mask would not likely have protected him, as he got the crap on his clothing, brought it home and into his car.

We always used paper disposable jumpers for this reason.

I am a former electrician and worked a great deal at grain facilities. Rats, birds and everything in between are always a problem there.

BTW Gerry, If you are truly he who is the subject of this story, which I doubt, then I suggest you suck it up.

Companies are responsible for a great many things, but they cannot be held liable for nature. Every time you you expose yourself to the elements, you take risks. It is part of the work.

Just walking to a comm tower in most places exposes you to ticks, red bugs and fire ants in the south. All can cause damage to you, that is why we wrap duct tape around our pants cuffs and carry insecticide in the service trucks.

Welcome to life as a electrician!
