I work in ontario and see all kinds of electrical work. The best was last week in a new plant. I was called in because a motor was not working. The motor had failed and blow the fuses and melted the wires. But the best was the 600 volt 60 ft long overhead buss laying on the floor. The forman saw smoke from the machine and tried to shut the power off by pulling the ropes tied to the overhead buss plug and the whole line crashed on the floor. There was not one local disconnect on any machine and a lot of machines were connected to power without starters or fusing. The installation was done by a michigan company and inspected. Inspection stickers were on some machines and a lot of the new equipment was not csa certified. I called the inspector about the job and asked if the could come out and look at the site. The inspector did show and got very upset about me taking pictures and went to the owner of the company. I was asked to turn over film to them and leave the property. I have worked in the trade for 30 years and have worked with a lot of great companys both canadian and american and never see work like this before or been treated like this by a company or inspector. I think i am done and will take a long vacation and think about retiring.
