Toxic Workplaces / Workplace Bullies
Wow what an experience.
I was employed at Gal Power Systems in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada 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 Centre 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 to begin work.
As I was to begin 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 did not complete 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 to try and suffocate me.
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 harassment in my workplaces to date with snide and
off colour comments about my mental health are
unbelievable and intolerable.
There is much more to the story.

Hi
Describe the rat poison ?
I was employed at Gal Power Systems
http://www.galpower.com/index02.shtml
It was an old transmitter station / tower no longer used.
Morris Gallick said they had to maintain power to the building and keep the diesel generator in working order to maintain the "aircraft warning lights" on the 200 foot tower.
Inside the station they had what would be considered "normal pest control" in place.
Plus what seemed to be an unusual amount of "rodent control equipment" placed all around the building.
I have been to countless remote transmitter stations.
There seemed to be a sticky chemical srayed in a thin layer on every part and everything on the inside of the transmitter station.
It had a sweet smell to it.
This happened August / September of 1999 I think.
I looked around and decided, "I can't work in here".
Gut instinct.
Morris Gallick spent no time in the building.
Shortly after this I wound up in the healthcare system for almost a year.
My health started failing towards the last part of 1997 at Harper Detroit Diesel having been poisoned at that time.
I just felt not well or a state of confusion when I try to remember back to that time.

Rodent Control
Hi
I was employed at Gal Power systems.
http://www.galpower.com/index02.shtml
At a remote "radio tower" or "microwave tower" site they have in place "rodent control".
Whatever type of pesticide would be used for that.
Some of these remote sites may not get a visit from a technician for 1 month, 2 months or longer if there was no indication from the alarm systems that all was normal.
They do not use so much rodent control that you have to wear a "space suit" while working inside these buildings.
I have been to "hundreds" of remote transmitter sites.
20 years in a service truck.
Some of these remote sites are a 8 to 10 hour drive from home base in northern Ontario.
In other parts of Canada it is "off road" or "fly in".
Very remote.
Some of these systems are "prime power".
No commercial power.
Multiple "extended run" diesels take turns running to keep the site powered up.
Some times these remote sites will run for 1 year with no visits from people.
Rodent control, the same as in your kitchen, no "space suits" needed to protect technicians working inside these building.
The site I worked at is a 5 minute drive from downtown Chatham, Ontario, Canada.
A good size small town in south western Ontario.
Morris Gallick did not leave the site.
He waited outside in his truck.
This is unusual, in my experience, people who usually look after these tower sites always work side by side with the contractor, and I mean always.
I did not spend really any time at all in the building.
Perhaps the excessive amount of toxic chemicals inside this building 5 minutes from downtown was an over site.
It sure did make me sick, I almost died.
