BIA members,
I wanted to make you aware of the email I received this morning from "THE WHISTLEBLOWER" about the use of portable restrooms and concrete work. Please note, I do not know who this individual is.
Sent: Monday, April 6, 2020 10:16 AM
Subject: RESEDENTIAL AND COMMERICAL CONSTRUTION SITES
GOOD MORNING,
YOU FAILED TO ADDRESS THE REAL REASON CONSTRUCTION BEING SHUT DOWN IN OTHER CITIES.
PORTALETS!
THE BIG HEALTH CONCERN BEING IGNORED
CONSTRUCTION SITES TYPICALLY HAVE 3 - 6 PORTALETS PER SITE DEPENDING ON THE SIZE OF THE CONSTRUCTION SITE.
A SINGLE ONE IS BEING USED BY UP TO 20 OR MORE WORKERS WITH DIFFERENT BACK GROUNDS.
ALSO ANY REASONABLE PERSON KNOWS THAT YOU CAN NOT POUR ANY TYPE OF CONCRETE BE IT FOOTERS, WALLS AND FLAT WORK WITHOUT CONTRACTORS BEING 2-3 FEET APART.
IF THIS IS NOT ADDRESSED IN THE NEXT 24HRS PICTURES AND VIDEO WILL BE FORWARD TO VARIOUS NEWS AGENCIES AROUND THE CITY SHOWING THE CONSTANT ABUSE OF THE CDC RECOMMENDATIONS ALONG WITH A COPY OF THIS EMAIL.
THANK YOU,
THE WHISTLEBLOWER
Again, I wanted to make you aware of the communication I have received. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Be safe out there and follow the CDC guidelines.
