I work in the commercial sector and have found that PCL safety can be outrageous at times.Alot of times it is site or superintendent specific on how stupid they can be towards minor or suspect safety issues.They will threaten you with getting fired or a permanent ban on all PCL sites just so they look like they are so powerfull.I had a safety supervisor tell one of my guys he will get cancer because he wasnt wearing a mask near an area they were applying firespray on some steel beams.I told him it was fear mongering and demanded a meeting with him and the site superintendent.Needless to say it fell on deaf ears and I was watched like a hawk for months till I spoke to the ownership rep.He arranged a meeting with all the big wigs from PCL and their safety supervisor and myself.For some unknown reason the date became a conflict in their schedule and they had to cancel.What a joke.
